The Office of Government Ethics is raising alarm over the pace of confirmation hearings for President-elect Donald Trump's nominees, saying Saturday that they have yet to receive required financial disclosures for some picks set to come before Congress next week.
In a letter to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., released Saturday, OGE Director Walter Shaub wrote that "the announced hearing schedule for several nominees who have not completed the ethics review process is of great concern to me" and that the current schedule "has created undue pressure on OGE's staff and agency ethics officials to rush through these important reviews.

“has created undue pressure on OGE’s staff and agency ethics officials.....”
Translation: You expect us to work 8 hours a day like other people?
Just for laughs it would be interesting to see the level of this offices concern for compliance in the first bozo transition.
You can call this 'fake news', but it's not. These obamatards are most definitely conspiring to slow walk the confirmation of all of Trump's nominees.

As KellyAnne Conway pointed out to mike Barnicle- when obama took office he had 7 cabinet members approved on the day of inauguration and 5 more within his first week
Everyone needs to,hear this
How can they be “moving too fast?” We’re still waiting on Senate approval of Obama’s cabinet members.
Oh, that’s right. He didn’t need them because he appointed “czars” instead.
Anyone remember what the ethics office (or NPR for that matter) had to say about that?
Yes, what gives? Linda and Johnny a part of this wrecking crew?
Oh, I remember reading last year that Trump’s cabinet picks were moving slower than any other president in the history of the universe.
BOOM!
You’re sending letters to Schumer and Warren???!?
I predict someone will need a new job soon.
Reid and Pelosi 2.0.
I was addressing the “moving too fast” portion.
So, a bunch of democrat-appointed minions from democrat party states and democrat party federal mid-level bureaucracies. And as always, the proper share of race, sex and homosexual selectees.

worth repeating
Couldn't tell that by your comment. Sometimes it helps to be specific.
Don’t wet your pants,just hold the hearings and shut up,clown
Ethicstician - vet thyself...
