For those who have grown a bit cynical, the idea of ethics in government might appear self-contradictory. In other words, we might be able to have one or the other, but not both — at least not at the same time. This thinking is partly a by-product of the very public ethical lapses committed by those in government positions.
As easy as it would be at this point to launch into a diatribe against the Clintons, who have taken corruption to new levels, they are really just one part of the problem. And it distracts us from the fact that there are government officials who do exhibit a high level of ethical behavior in their spheres of responsibility.
The problem is compounded by the need to review the behavior of government officials when potential ethics violations are discovered. What this implies is that we have the government monitoring the government. The potential problems with that are obvious.

Funny. Where were they when Hillary was SOS and selling our country down the road with her pay to play foundation?
Barry, two different groups of lawyers just filed suit in Federal Court on EXACTLY what I said above. Apparently you’re not as smart as you think you are
Penny, that’s not proven yet I think it should be investigated and if it’s true she should be subjected to prosecution as well
Not a single Obama appointee can be trusted. They are all – every single one of them – agenda-driven globalists and America-hating “progressives.”
Ethics! Meaningless for the firmly entrenched.
Good,good,good,
Someone else’s chickens are coming home to roost!

This is typical. Rather than believe the professionals who rate charities uninformed people think they know better.
