Swamp draining continues apace. YF sees nothing wrong with rushing through these nine nominees next week in the absence of financial disclosures.

APNewsBreak: Several Trump Picks' Ethics Reviews Incomplete

"During this presidential transition, not all of the nominees presently scheduled for hearings have completed the ethics review process. In fact, OGE has not received even initial draft financial disclosure reports for some of the nominees scheduled for hearings," Shaub wrote to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.

 

Trump is only going to hire the best people. The best!

Ethics office warns that Trump, GOP rushing Cabinet confirmations

"Plans for at least seven Trump nominees to sit for hearings on Capitol Hill in the coming days have “created undue pressure on OGE’s staff and agency ethics officials to rush through these important reviews,” Shaub wrote. “More significantly, it has left some of the nominees with potentially unknown or unresolved ethics issues shortly before their scheduled hearings.”

Shaub added: “I am not aware of any occasion in the four decades since OGE was established when the Senate held a confirmation hearing before the nominee had completed the ethics review process.”

 

Trump doing something off-the-cuff and half-assed!?!

 

Yeah. Shocking, ain't it?
