Walter Schaub? Get used to that name.

[kentuck]

I don't think this is a guy the Trump team wants to screw around with?

1. And tRump's team says to themselves....

"Damn those stupid laws! Who are those nattering nabobs of negativism that say we have to follow ethics laws?"

[delisen]

2. Schaub is First Class. n/t

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

3. Correct me if I'm wrong, and I would be absolutely thrilled to be wrong about this,

Trump and his minions will retaliate and destroy this guy for any difficulties he causes, any roadblock he puts in their fast track to doing exactly what the fuck they want. Especially after the coronation.

4. The system is stronger than Groper Don the Con

Watch the proceedings

5. Thanks. I wish I could believe that.

Trying to remain hopeful, but failing more than succeeding at that.

13. Our system is far bigger than one man....

or his political appointees, with multiple firewalls, and the ultimate firewall being a pissed off populace that scares the shit out of every elected official (see backpedaling on gutting OCE). Many times, political apparatchiks get politely and sometimes not so politely pushed aside as the machinery continues to roll on.

7. Doubt it. nt

[Separation]

8. Exactly

They really can't do anything until he takes that oath of office. Any day after the 20th is one day closer until he is impeached.

[Jacob Boehme]

9. Agreed. Because at the end of the day.....

The United States Code and the Code of Federal Regulations will trump even Donald tRump.

It might take some time to wind its way through the courts, but when all the dust settles, what's in codified in the USC and the CFR will win out.

[paleotn]

14. Agree.

11. Falling apart isn't in question, being weakened is... Benedict Donald would weaken us as a nation

[tblue37]

6. Chaffetz is already threatening him and demanding that he appear for a Star Chamber sort

of inquisition (not public, of course, though Cummings is demanding that the questioning be public).

10. k and r...

12. An expert in ethics? Where does this guy expect to get a job in the Trump era?

He should go back to school and study Art History.
