Legal but stupid, unethical and sleazy. In this maladministration, that makes Mnuchin one of the grown-ups.

Drumpf: Yet another win for me. Even Obama’s watchdog thinks that I am running a tight ship.

Mnuchin’s nickname should be “Swampy.”

Sick of grifters like the ‘Moochin Mnuchins’ in OUR house?

Run for office- the 2018 elections are only 13 months away, and if Trump and Louie Gohmert can get elected what’s to stop a qualified candidate?

Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes it’s a Ward officer. You’ll meet with neighborhood Dems and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.

Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led Voter run-around help them do that.

Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump and half of eligible voters stayed home last November. Today’s 12-year olds will be voting for President in 8 years.

Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly.

Get appointed to your Planning Commission. Know everything going on in your community.

Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020, then we’ll redraw Congressional Districts. Get rid of GERRYMANDERING! Safe GOP seats gave us such intellectual giants as Louie Gohmert and Steve King. In most cases it’s the state Legislature that draws Congressional boundaries. Make it FAIR, OPEN and HONEST!

Overturn Citizens United. Money is NOT speech and Corporations are NOT people- at least not until Texas executes one.
Overturn any voter ID laws the are clearly an attempt to disenfranchise.

It looks like Mnuchin wormed his way in because he knew this was coming down the pike.

So this report basically says there isn’t enough evidence – all of supplied by the defendant’s subordinates – to make a convincing case that the law was broken. How reassuring.

What is most interesting about all this is that the ethics officers who are part of the Trump Admin walk around saying, is there anything I should know about? No, OK, no biggie.

The ethics officer who said Trump’s plan to ‘divest’ from his businesses was jake literally left my mouth hanging open. The ethics officer OK’d Trump owning the old post office was against his CONTRACT to buy the building.

Needless to say, I do not trust any ethics officer who is working in the Trump Admin, at any department.

average person make such inappropriate use of their employer’s resources = fraud / embezzlement / felony theft by deception / criminal charges / fines/ restitution

  • Imagine if your local Director of the County Parks Department just up and decided to take their county vehicle - say a Ford Explorer - on their two week 1,200 mile personal summer vacation - to three or four places 5-7 states away … gee around here that happens somewhere in the state once in a while and - it never turns out well - people get fired, charges are brought.
