Walter Shaub, the director of the United States Office of Government Ethics under President Obama, said the Biden administration is sending a "f--- you" to ethics experts by hiring so many relatives of senior White House officials.
Press secretary Jen Psaki, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, national security adviser Jake Sullivan, senior adviser Anita Dunn, White House counselor Steve Richetti, deputy chief of staff Bruce Reed and presidential personnel office director Cathy Russell each have at least one direct family member working for the Biden administration.
"I'm sorry, I know some folks don't like hearing any criticism of him. But this royally sucks. I'm disgusted," Shaub wrote in a Twitter thread Friday, reacting to an article about the family ties of Biden officials.
"A lot of us worked hard to tee him up to restore ethics to government and believed the promises," Shaub added, calling the string of family-related hires "a real ‘f*** you’ to us—and government ethics."
"EVEN THE F-ING HEAD OF PRESIDENTIAL PERSONNEL, WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE KEEPING THEM HONEST, HAS A CHILD WHO'S A RECENT COLLEGE GRAD WORKING IN THE ADMINISTRATION. AND THE SPOUSE OF THE WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD," Shaub added.
"This is ridiculous. What a f***ing failure."

I can believe it’s true and also that Shaub is more upset that it’s squeezing his power.
“”This is ridiculous. What a f***ing failure.””
That pretty much sums up Biden’s 6 months in office.
Obama and ethics? Can those two words actually appear on the same line like that?
Of course—10% for the big guy.
Biden and Harris act like the media’s willingness to not only ignore corruption and incompetence, but to manufacture cover for them, is a blank check for whatever they want to do, regardless of how bad it looks or really is. The truth is, they just don’t care and don’t have to.
Lot of effing going on......
his power? he is former official.
this is how socialism works. nepotism is the norm.
D.C. makes the MAFIA look like kindergartners...

The daughter of California Rep. Maxine Waters netted around $240,000 this past election cycle — from her mother’s own campaign, new records show.
The congresswoman’s campaigns shelled out payments to Karen Waters for work she did on her 82-year-old mother’s re-election campaign, including “slate mailer management” and “GOTV” — or likely “Get Out the Vote” services.
President Trump needs a listing of swamp infiltrators to purge when he returns to office. Let us all hope that on day one of his new administration, there are a thousand-ten thousand pink slips ready to go.
Hunter wont work for less than a million a month plus hookers to snort coke of the asses of, a dead hooker closet, and a bottle of fabreeze
Yup,Fedgov simply gives us the finger. My answer to this cannot be stated on this forum.
There is an old movie (”Cromwell”) with Richard Harris in which Cromwell goes to parliament and berates the parliamentarians who served under King Charles I. He accuses one man of enriching himself through his political office. The man is shocked at the accusation and exclaims: “Of course!! Why on earth would I seek the office, unless it was to enrich myself??”
And that’s how revolutions happen.
Oh no. You mean to tell me there’s a corrupt demoncrat in DC? I’m crushed, I tell you! Shocked!
Shaub seems like a real classy type....🙄
“Bet the senators and house members have all the relatives working”
I worked for my dad, but that was honest wages, albeit nepotism. This has to stop.
How do we stop it? I am beginning to think WE don’t have the muscle.
This administration is on track for compiling the biggest list of scandals you will never read about or hear about in the mainstream media!
““slate mailer management””
In other words, she got coffee and lunch for everyone?
Rotflmao! It’s the “ Progressive” way. (Similar to the Chicago way Obama borrowed from Jimmy Malone/Sean Connery, ‘the untouchables’)
It’s a crime syndicate!
