A prominent government watchdog group has filed 30 ethics complaints with various federal agencies — including the White House — alleging that employees are working in violation of President Donald Trump's executive order intended to "drain the swamp" and keep government free of former lobbyists.
The group, Public Citizen, filed the complaints in recent days, charging possible violations of ethics rules that Trump announced just days into his presidency.
The group also filed complaints citing employees at the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, Health and Human Services, Commerce, Interior, Energy, Education, Agriculture, as well as the Environmental Protection Agency and the White House Office of Management and Budget.
Public Citizen has sent the complaints to ethics officers at each agency where the appointees are working, requesting that they investigate.

You have to hand it to the progressive left, they push their agenda regardless of electoral outcomes.
This is what communism looks like. “Public citizen”. ROTFL.
Never heard of this supposedly prominent group.
Because they don’t create a circling firing squad, instead they regroup and circle the wagons.

Based on the crap coming out of Congress, you would think the dims won veto-proof majorities in both houses!
I wish Republicans had 1/100th the gumption the libs do (although I have to admit that the hate the libs have for America is a bigger motivator than the GOP’s universal self-interest).
This is the strategy known as Palinizing - gone federal
Force these federal employees into endless endless lawsuits
Bankrupt them with legal fees or bankrupt their agency budgets needed to defend them
Make it impossible for them to serve
Weaponizing the courts
Every little leftist is doing all he can for the cause. Too bad they are insane and don’t have a life. They are wasting their time trying to destroy a good person. It’s because they loathe themselves and the country. Their minds are a swirling mass of contradictions and nihilism.
More snowflakes upset they didn’t get what they wanted in a president namely the Hilldebeeste.
I would hope they get to meet the DOJ in a rico lawsuit
And maybe the irs to determine their nonprofit bona fides
One thing the reds ( as in communist reds) have is lots of nutty liberal lawyers
This is Ralph Nader’s group.
They make their living off lawsuits.
So much nonsense. Always remain locked and loaded.
When I wonder where all that govt. money goes that Pelosi and Company put in the budget, I can often find the answer in sites like this.
AKA Lawfare, for short.
There should be some sort of legal penalty for filing frivolous lawsuits designed merely to be a horrendous pain in the ass.
Ralph Nader’s offspring from the 70s or earlier.
We still do not get how hard this swamp draining is. We should have known they would use every weapon against Trump and us.
They stick with their top dogs. We dump on ours if the battle isn’t over when we want it to be.
Thing is, this is it, fight or they win.
No...wait...
Once, again, the left is doing Putin’s work for him; they are doing everything possible to cripple the functioning of the government.
The courts have the responsibility and duty to reject frivolous law suits. Why aren’t they doing so??
I’m not a big fan of Public Interest, but they do have a point in illustrating how lobbyists get federal jobs without the required investigations and waivers.
