Discussion: EXCLUSIVE: Top Dem Accuses Trump Medicaid Chief Of Possible Ethics Pledge Violations

Thank you for your efforts Senator Wyden, but the Ethics Department suffered an abrupt but expected death exactly a year ago. They were savagely murdered by always-Trumpers.

In lieu of flowers, bribes were accepted.

Oops…I guess she should’ve built herself a sound-proof chamber like Pruitt.

She committed an ethics violation when she signed on with the orange baboon and commits another one every time she shows up for “work.”

This is exactly what Congressional Dems should be doing every day now as long as Trump is in office. The amount of criminality, self-dealing, and plain old corruption is so vast that the entire administration is a target-rich environment.

In particular, it’s great Wyden is going after this vile Verma. She’s thoroughly despicable.

Wyden does a lot of good work.

Where by “ethics violation” we mean “potential criminal conflict of interest”.

The corruption here is so complete that in any other administration we’d be gobsmacked. It’s not even as if the result would have been different if she’d let an underling handle the cases she’s legally obliged to recuse herself from. She just doesn’t care.

Come on, it’s a pretty sweet deal. For Verma, that is. First, the states pay her to put together their waiver applications. Now the federal government is paying her to approve the very waiver applications she prepared. Can’t we just applaud this win-win for her and the GOP? They’ve taken corruption to a new depth!

There is this one consolation here—for all its troubles accommodating different ethnic groups, America certainly has been very kind to South Asian Americans like Seema Verma and Ajit Pai. They recognized the ample opportunities for graft and corruption in working with the Republican Party, and in classic American fashion worked their way up the ladder so that they can now lie, cheat, and grift as well as anybody. God Bless America.

CMS was probably telling Bevin, “Ixnay onay ethay ontactkay ithway Ermavay,” but Bevin was too boneheaded to get the message.

Remember, Trump hires “only the best people.” Excuse me, only the best crooks.

Ha! Are those the better looking actors who’ll play Trump and his Medicaid witch in the Hollywood version?

What is the point accepting a government job if you can’t use it to help your old clients and friends? Hey a girl has to plan for her future return to the private sector.

This ladies and gentlemen is the very definition of corruption.

She is pure evil, I agree.

[/quote]You left out Step 3 when she leaves her government job, goes back to the private sector and really cashes in.
