Discussion: Report: Ivanka Trump To Become Official Govt. Employee Amid Ethics Concerns

Wait.

Are there not NEPOTISM LAWS?!?!?!?

I thought it was against the law for anyone in the Government to hire a direct relation to WORK FOR THEM.

It’s consensual until you get paid for doing it.

I hate these people. I hate them, hate them, hate them.

You GOP fucks are the worst: you are good for nothing. You’re just apes in human form.

I have a co-worker who kept telling me that “You know Bill Clinton would be in the White House!” as if that was some horrible thing. But, she says nothing about this nepotism, this corruption.

You GOPers are the worst. Enemies of humanity, enemies of democracy, and you’re all merely blown about the whirlwind you are reaping, as you are chaff separated from the wheat.

It’s ok because she’s “unpaid”. Also “not bound” by ethics laws, although she can pretend she’s going to comply (except for the nepotism ones, natch.) The real issue almost certainly has something to do with her not having to testify against him if he is getting advice from her, don’t you think?

Trump is trying to have his cake and eat it too. Somehow I don’t think this will end well for him.

Jamie Gorelick was a Deputy A.G. in the Clinton years. Not sure how she came to this.

Lately, according to Wikipedia:

“Gorelick represented Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of Donald Trump, as he considered a possible role in the White House. She had advised Kushner, who has sprawling financial interests in a multi-billion-dollar global real estate empire, on how he might comply with federal ethics and anti-nepotism laws. She has argued that although officials leading federal agencies are barred from hiring relatives, the White House is not an agency and thus exempt. Gorelick argued that if Kushner forgoes a White House salary, he would not be bound by federal nepotism rules. Though Kushner has no experience in government or public policy, Trump directed that during his Presidential transition all foreign-policy matters be relayed through Kushner. Kushner participated in meetings between Trump and foreign heads of state while continuing to run the Kushner Companies.”

As the Church Lady would say:

“How conve-e-e-e-enient!”

Are the Russians paying Ivanka directly? This is so absurd. The US government isn’t some charity you just volunteer with. If she is not taking a salary then there are serious questions if she is acting in the US’s interests or her own.
