"Donald Trump Banned From Nation’s Secrets by Defying Ethics Laws"

Quote:
President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House could be a bumpy ride because he has not pledged to avoid conflicts of interest, among other ethical concerns, while in office.

The New York Times reported that Trump’s transition team missed the Oct. 1 deadline to submit an ethics plan in accordance with the Presidential Transition Act. What’s more is NYT reported that Trump’s assembled transition team has refused to participate in the established transition process, usually beginning months before elections.

The team has also missed numerous deadlines for signing agreements required to participate in national security meetings and to gain access to federal agencies.
This might get interesting!

I'll guess he'll need to get something else for people to read in his bathroom.

Trump's contempt for the rule of law has been evident all along.

I hope he doesn't live long enough to the FBI into his own personal gestapo.

If Trump does not make it we get President Vance who is smarter and less impulsive.

Whether or not Trump pledges to avoid conflicts of interest means nothing. Not only is he not known for sticking to agreements, it doesn't seem likely that he ever had any intention of sticking to any agreements.

If he can read and wants to read them, he will. Regarding presidential power, the letter of the law has meant nothing for many years in the US. Who would be able and willing to enforce these guidelines?
