The bad old Donald is not supposed to do what the Rats have done for years ...
How about Nancy Pelosi’s husband’s enrichment off of her legislation.....
JFK hired brother Robert!
What was Obama’s first act of ignoring the law? I don’t know because the list is a mile long.
How many Tsars is Trump proposing? Obama had a Tsar for about everything. (Tsars are made up positions that do not require Senate confirmation)
Before the 1967 law.
which was the reason for the 19697 law.
It seems Hillary was tested against it (Hillarycare) without a resolution
unfortunately it is an example that does not work because that was 1964 and the law the demns are claimthat is being broken was passed in 1967.
Relevant court case, which quotes the law specifying (in great detail) who the prohibition applies to: https://law.resource.org/pub/us/case/reporter/F2/997/997.F2d.898.93-5092.93-5086.html
AFAIK, the President’s advisors are _not_ addressed by the law; they are personally chosen, not seated according law nor executive order.
Sorry you lib sore loser crybaby whiners, Jared will be in the WH.
The bigger issue here is that the political optics are awful -- especially when you consider that Kushner has retained JAMIE GORELICK as his lawyer to navigate through the Federal legal and ethical issues.
Which is why the law was passed.
omg nepotism is rampant in Washington...it’s incestuous...and they’re worried about this??
President Bush appointed his father to numerous positions with the Federal government.
And well documented.
JFK and Bobby?? Bill Clinton putting Hillary in charge of healthcare legislation? Half the congressional staff being family members?
Go for it.
Stopped reading at “W”.
There's a difference between having someone involved in an innocuous advisory capacity and having them in a formal position. In Kushner's case, I suspect there's a complicated legal issue because the role he will fill -- regardless of whether or not he's paid -- may require security clearances.
