There really are no ethics in this administration. 
No one in the Trump administration can even define the word "ethics."
So the Pence election fraud commission is going to use DHS to harass voters now?? Anyone who is a democrat on this commission should be thrown out next election.
Yeah it’s not like we need them as leakers, since Kobach and Von Spakovsky will come up with something so vile that even Republican lite staffers will get the word out.
“…potential partnership opportunities…”
Shorthand for “Can I pig-out at the government trough?”
My guess is that they would also have a very hard time spelling it.
However, the filing Friday revealed that commission member J. Christian Adams, before formally being named to the commission in July, sent about a half dozen emails about “potential participants” and “potential research opportunities” to counsel for Vice President Mike Pence, the chair of the commission.
This would rather confirm the idea that this is the Trump Voter Fraud (co)Mission. No agenda setting/plotting can be seen in this revelation, none what so ever.
I think the Democrats should stay. How else will we know what is going on. In fact put a couple more on it.
If they were focusing on the important stuff, the contacts with DHS would be about whether our systems were hacked and how to prevent intrusions in future elections.
But no, this is the idiot Kobach, so it’s about how to harass non-citizens and identify a handful who might have voted in 2016.
Put a couple grad students on it, and have them produce embarrassing reports about the bogus commission’s errors and statistical nonsense.
