One of President Trump’s final moves in the White House was to turn back a rule he implemented that blocked former staffers from taking jobs at lobbying firms in Washington for five years after leaving their government jobs.
Trump at the time said the move would limit the revolving door in D.C., which includes staffers leaving office to take a high-earning job inside a lobbying firm on K-Street.
Noah Bookbinder, the executive director of the non-profit Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, told the Journal. “By rescinding his ethics order and letting his staffers immediately become lobbyists, the man who pledged to drain the swamp took a giant step to fill it.”
TRENDPOST: It is the Washington Way: Liars, Cowards, Freaks, and Fools who will do anything they can to get elected and do next to nothing they promised. The Journal noted that just before Bill Clinton left the White House, he, too, backtracked on his promise to drain the swamp by striking down a similar five-year ban for his aids and advisors.
