This sounds TOTALLY legit. Why would that be a problem? Taking payments from “Clients” shouldn’t be an issue for a government employee. We can’t limit their ability to be bribed, that would be unfair.

Paging the Department of Justice…

This guy is moonlighting as a lobbyist while actually working for the government. The stink of this is overwhelming. I don’t give a damn what Pruitt’s “ethics” lawyer says. This is bad business.

Like unseen swarms of termites destroying a house, the rampant attack on our institutions comes from the hidden back offices of government agencies, and destroying our government is at the top of the to-do list of the Drumpf administration. Elections have very serious consequences, folks, and we must hit the bricks this mid-term and help kick these toxic, corrupt, unethical GOP bastards out of office. The real damage to our nation is done in the bowels of government agencies, not necessarily in the high-profile offices like POTUS or VP or even Senate; but we must elect stewards of our nation’s agencies and institutions, so get busy!

Sounds like a great idea. What could possibly go wrong with this plan?

Bringing back the dearly departed political patronage practices our country tried to jettison in the 1920s.

But, but, but they have a lawyer with bonafides who said it’s OK!! Just like extraordinary rendition, enhanced interrogation, or gerrymandering. Moving Trump’s personal lawyers into the Administration’s ethics positions was one of their best ideas yet! You won’t believe what’s becoming magically legal these days. Really, you won’t, every day you’ll be gobsmacked.

Now I’ve been smirking lately,
thinking about the money that’s to come
And I believe it could be,
something sweet has begun

Oh grift train sounding louder
Glide on the grift train
Come on now grift train
Yes, grift train money roller
