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.
As Mr. Trump prepares to arrive in the Oval Office we see how this system can go awry. More on page two.
I’m sick of these pieces of c**p, The elitists think they are above the law. How about Michael C Ormsby breaking 18 US Code 1621 &1623, 8 US Code 1324c and Fraud on the Court by an Officer of the Court and nothing happens to him. Elitists protecting elitists.

Is that like stupid people calling you stipid
I don’t think Government and Ethics can be used in the same sentence. Kind of like saying, ‘Gee, Vlad was a good Communist!’
You know about the purple revolution?
All those giving Trump a hard time have something to hide and worry Trump will expose them and ruin thier careers…
Alot of top level politicians were involved in pizzagate aka pedogate,child sex trafficking and porn…
I would venture to say that Hillarys and Obamas leftover flunkies are all hiding something illegal or politically dammaging
This person over the Office Of Government Ethics needs to be held accountable as not investigating Clinton Foundation and other violations. He should be held accountable more than anyone due to the importance of that position to look out for the people.
I was so hoping Trump would have offered warren a cabinet position only to fire her as soon as her current spot was filled. That would have been awesome.
Prove it or shut your lying mouth
That Ethics guy sounds like one of the gators in the swamp.
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS THE PARTY OF CORRUPTIONS ! THE POLITICIANS ARE LIARS AND AND WITHOUT INTEGRITY , AND THE VOTERS THAT’S VOTING FOR THEM , ARE THE SAME AS THEM !
