Blasts him on his plan to avoid conflict of interest.
quote:

Shaub praised Rex Tillerson, Trump's pick for secretary of state, for an ethics plan he called a "sterling model" for other Cabinet picks, as well as for Trump.

quote:

he director of the Office of Government Ethics is blasting President-elect Donald Trump's plan to avoid conflicts of interest as "wholly inadequate..."This is not a blind trust," he said. "It's not even close. "

quote:

"Common sense dictates that a president can, of course, have very real conflicts of interest," he said, adding that "potential for corruption only grows with the increase of power."

It's easy to sell stocks, which is what Tillerson has said he will do.

You can't just unload billions worth of real estate around the world.

You can dismiss anyone who claims Trump should put his holdings in a blind trust as an idiot who has no idea what they are talking about.

Oh, so an appointee of obama "blasts" Trump while speaking at the BROOKINGS Institution.

Boy that is some real fricking news right there.

I will give a shite when Shaub shows me where the President/VP are subject to COI laws.

Tillerson owns a shitton of stock, easily segregated or liquidated.

Trump owns a brand and a shitton of real estate - the opposite of easy.

His lawyer explained it.

"Office of Government Ethics"

An entire office based upon an oxymoron.

First clean up Congress, then let's worry about DJT.
