Honestly, I’d love to see Trump direct the FBI the day after he wins re-election to create a special task force to investigate the influence foreign companies and nations have on our elected officials through hiring of relatives of those officials.
Heck, the day after the Senate votes to acquit would also be appropriate.
In a national address: “American policy should not be influenced by the hiring of the children or relatives of American officials, both elected and appointed. Today I am directing the FBI to formally investigate the many many questionable payments to family members to rule out any corruption and I’m glad to know that everyone stands behind such a worthwhile and important investigation.”
This is clearly an important issue. But such a move would gore so many oxes that Trump could find himself impeached and removed after all.
The best you can do is to set a date when this standard and reporting would apply and when enforcement would begin.. and then the rats on both sides would jump ship.
But, in the end, the problem is that people form networks to build political power. The issue is how to make this possible while assuring that it doesn’t become corrupt. It takes lots of effort to manage the unintended consequences of each move you make to clean the problem up.
“...after he wins re-election to create a special task force to investigate the influence foreign companies and nations have on our elected officials through hiring of relatives of those officials.”
I’d LOVE to see that, but I think the Enemy Media would just spin it and investigate Ivanka, her husband and Eric.
They’ll just make up more shiite and drag them through the mud.
ANYTHING to get at PDJT.
