‘Trump seems to have mistaken ethics waivers for pardons’: Bush lawyer blasts possible violation of ethics rules
When the White House gave waivers to lobbyists to allow them to enter the revolving door of the political swamp, they may have violated ethics rules themselves.
According to a New York Times report, the waivers may have skirted federal ethics rules for Steve Bannon.
The exemption allowed White House aides to communicate with Breitbart News.
In fact, the White House issued an exemption that allows all aides to communicate with all news organizations even if they were “a former employer.”
The move comes in the wake of anonymous leaks coming from the president’s own staffers.
The concern was not with the waiver, it was that the waiver was “retroactive.”
“There is no such thing as a retroactive waiver,”
said Walter M. Shaub Jr., the head of the Government Ethics Office.
“If you need a retroactive waiver, you have violated a rule.”

the swamp corruption will be UnPresidented
We Repugs Don't Need No Steenkin Ethics
Ethics just another "administrative state" that Bannon deconstructs.
