Obama ethics chief troubled by Biden WH staff 'revolving door from influence-peddling operations'
Fox News ^ | 11/11/2021 | Houston Keene

Posted on 11/11/2021 9:14:11 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Obama’s ethics chief warned that President Biden's White House staff going through "the revolving door from influence-peddling operations" is not good for the country.

Former Office of Government Ethics director Walter Shaub unloaded on the Biden administration after it was announced that Michael Czin from the Biden-aligned consulting firm, SKDK, would be joining the White House in a "senior adviser" position.

Czin is the most recent hire from SKDK, which was co-founded by Anita Dunn. Dunn recently left the Biden administration after being able to skirt publicly disclosing her personal finances and business interests, unlike other presidential appointees, due to an ethics loophole.

That’s rich. Obama and ethics should never be in the same sentence.

How is anyone in DC surprised? Biden’s corruption has been known for decades.

Hunter Biden and China: A timeline of his business ties to the Far East
By Jon Levine and Mary Kay Linge
December 19, 2020

“For at least seven years, many when his father was vice president, Hunter Biden pursued a lucrative deal to run an investment firm founded by millions of dollars from a Chinese partnership.

“Joe Biden claims he never spoke with Hunter about his dealings, and never profited from any group his family set up, but e-mails and text messages found on Hunter Biden’s old laptop hard drive — first published by The Post — show “the big guy” being referenced repeatedly.”

‘Influence peddling’ they KNOW about, for sure!!

They've been at it long enough. I think they all know they don't have actual ‘careers', once Joe is gone.... so they are raiding the till, as fast as they can.

Gone are the days when Presidential advisors, cabinet members, etc. remained in public service for their entire lives. They were names we all came to know over time, well past their years in the WH.

NOW, they're like criminals who break into your house and grab what they can then flee, before they get caught!

What makes Obama’s “ethics chief” think that Biden and Co. are even remotely concerned about what’s good for this country?

AT least the system is working...a little. That revolving door of staff Obama is so concerned about just moves out criminals and liars, at least a few running for th.. And that same revolving door got rid of half of the criminal element involving Obama and Biden also. But when is Biden going to tell Obama to just shut up, you aren’t in charge like Obama did to the conservatives when they disagreed with him? Don’t hold your breath as they are both gutless.

LOL. Biden’s son, who never painted before in his life, is suddenly now a famous artist, selling his paintings for $500K to anonymous corporate buyers.

The bureaucrats are just following the lead of a hyper-corrupt Biden family.

Office of Government Ethics

How quaint.

It kinda reminds me of the wonderful Doctor Strangelove scene--"No Fighting in the War Room"

They are concerned because not enough Obama-connected folks are benefitting from these influence-peddling operations.

Still trying to wrap my head around a sentence with “Obam” and “ethics” in it.
