Trump and Haley gushed about each other during an Oval Office appearance

--Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed the complaint Monday

--It referenced seven flights on luxury aircraft that the UN ambassador disclosed on her 2017 form

--All were provided by South Carolina businessmen, for flights taken by Haley and her husband

--Haley said they were due to existing friendships, but ethics rules prohibit gifts due to an official position

--Haley stunned Washington she she revealed Tuesday she will resign her post

--A series of Trump officials have fended off flight scandals, and former Health and Human Services secretary Tom Price resigned after flights were revealed

--Haley said there were 'no personal reasons' for her departure but that public officials should be term-limited

There probably was no quid pro quo going on in connection with her position, but
if that is what the rules say you have to be mindful when you are in a position of power.

the US MSM is so inept they haven't found this story yet to aggregate.

old talking points

--Nikki left because of Kav and Trump

--Nikki was the op-ed writer

new talking point soon enough...

Trump admin in corrupt ethics charges

I also want to know how HRC made it without the state dept OIG investigating her.

Ok, can’t google right now, but did Trump appoint her to the UN position?

MSM is going to make a mountain out of an anthill per usual course of business.

My gut is that she made an error that gave someone the opportunity to put bad optics on her and she would rather not deal with it.

Media never accepts "the reason"provided unless it's a Democrat.

Price's flights were on the taxpayer's dime.

Probably the same people that reported her for ordering $52,000 curtains (and they later found it was Obama's Amb. that ordered the curtains)

I agree something happened; but the globalism crowd/democrats were most likely studying her every move to get her out.

it's why Pence won't be alone with a woman who is not his wife

every Republican in power is in a fishbowl

if you hand the left bad optics, they will use them against you

If you don't hand them bad optics, they will make them up (Kav being exhibit A)

Red meat for the masses who think private plane travel is something special for these people. And who think allegations prove guilt.

I was doing a little surfing yesterday and picked this up on a website of a state newspaper in So. Car. but since I hadn't seen any major news networks reporting it yet I figured it was just some outfit with an ax to grind.

CREW is about the most partisan "non-partisan" group I can think of.

Their "Republican" is Richard Painter.

But, I agree that the rules are the rules and I like ethics rules.

Flying on a plane just isn't special.
