Ross Warned of Potential Criminal Violation

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross “said he would sell all of his remaining stock holdings after the Office of Government Ethics faulted him for continuing to maintain investments — and enter into new ones — that he was required to divest,” the New York Times reports.

“In a strongly worded letter, the ethics office said Mr. Ross’s continued ownership of assets that his ethics agreement required him to divest — and his decision to open short sale positions while serving as Commerce secretary — could have placed him in position to violate criminal conflict of interest laws.”

1. Just another Trumpworld grifter

but I'm surprised he stayed under the radar for this long.

2. He should be asked to resign, then charged ,

Just like anyone else would be, and trump, the law and order president he claims to be, turns away and says and does nothing to hold him accountable. Corruption running wild out of this White House and this administration now. They are all criminals.

3. He's 80. Why doesn't he just resign and keep his stock? n/t

4. Probably thinks it's a good time to rejigger the portfolio

because the way we are going now, who knows what will happen to the stock market (but then with GOP Presidents, WE know what usually happens).
