An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise,
Our family friend has a pizza place in my hometown, and it had great pizza. If I was asked what my favorite pizza place is, would I be violating ethics if I honestly answered the question?
More importantly, wouldn't it be different if said "hey everbody, eat this pizza place?"

What is Schumer getting out of endorsing a restaurant?
vs
What is the Trump administration getting out of endorsing Ivanka Trump's clothing line?

I think Schumer did this on purpose to rustle the Trumpkin snowflakes. It worked.

You are focusing on the wrong words. You should be focusing on "for his own private gain".

This is such a fail thread

More like don't take individual words out of context. Because that is what he is doing. You need to learn how to have an intelligent conversation.

You need to follow the commas and the "or"s.
Re-read paying attention to the legal interpretation of the comma placement and use of "or".
for his own private gain is just one of the 3 prohibited actions/results.
I can help you later if you want.

Its a fricked up world when government employees can build a billion dollar company out of a few regulations, but Schumer pimping a small restaurant, or the prez telling people to "buy LL bean" is what the press is talking about.
WTF lol.
WTF lol.

So we are done here?
Unfortunately, part of my job is tearing apart contracts finding the gotchas that the purchaser just flew by and signed anyway.
