Reince Priebus, chief of staff to President-elect Donald Trump, issued a stern warning to the director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics on Sunday.
Walter Shaub Jr., who heads the ethics office, has been sounding the alarm about Trumps decision to turn the management of his business over to his sons instead of setting up a blind trust.
I dont think divestiture is too high a price to pay to be president of the United States of America, Shaub said in a speech last week.
On Sunday, Priebus suggested that Shaub should be careful about criticizing Trump.
The head of the government ethics ought to be careful because that person is becoming extremely political, Priebus said, adding that Shaub may have publicly supported Hillary Clinton.

(16,878 posts)The GOP now equates any condemnation or critique of Trump as being political?? So much so they're willing to threaten the Office of Government Ethics? These slime balls must have some serious corruption planned. This type of threat should/would raise alarms for any educated populace, but it will be ignored by the media and the majority of folks will never hear about this

KellyAnn Goebbels said similar, and is talking about setting up Trump's own propaganda system..and sure enough, Breitbart.
we know Trump thinks in simplistic terms of either/or, black or white, and his minions seem happy to use that view also.
