Federal ethics committee? Really? I don’t think they are doing their job. At all.

it’s actually “The Office of Government Ethics”
The director was appointed by Obama in 2013.
The director was the one who basically told Trump he had to adios his businesses, nevermind the POTUS & VPOTUS are exemnpt from that.

I’m guessing this director is gone pretty soon.

Co-incidentally, just after the election,
they amended the executive branch gift rules.
