Trump official whines about 'ethics checks' for corrupt administration

By Oliver Willis - November 1, 2018

Despite the massive corruption in the Trump administration, national security adviser John Bolton is complaining that 'so-called ethics checks' have gotten 'excessive.'

A senior member of Trump’s corruption-plagued administration is complaining about how hard it is to vet prospective government employees to make sure they’re not corrupt.

John Bolton, Trump’s national security adviser, complained at a meeting of the right-wing Hamilton Society that ethics guidelines are supposedly making it too hard to hire new people.

Bolton claimed that due to the “excessive nature of the so-called ethics checks,” it’s “harder to get things done” compared to his time serving under President George H.W. Bush.

As far as Bolton is concerned, ethics guidelines are part of a “system to discourage people from coming into government.”
