Outlaw...lobbying!
No government officials should be allowed to own individual Stocks. Just broad-market ETFs.

If it doesn't happen soon this country will be a dangerous place to live not that it isn't now .

And although I agree with your piece here, and it's SO VERY IMPORTANT, for us to keep them honest via exposure, I think it's important to also understand that the lobbyist EO is very new in DC and I'm sure throwing a giant wrench into the revolving door is something that will come with it's own issues of finding appropriate people for real positions that require specific skill sets and experience. I think a person by person review of these people is absolutely important... especially exposing their unethical behavior where it exists, but I also think it's important to look at the whole person, whole situations, and their scope of authority and what limitations that authority is under.

After the previous administration is disciplined, people can worry about Trump's people.

~ 😮 The swamp needs a good plumber _!_

[mitchclark]

He can't say "President Trump's 'drain the swamp' agenda" without chuckling. lol

[segunonanuga]

Drain the swamp! Keep up the good work. The cleansing must start from within the administration. Set the standard for transparency and adherence to high ethical standard.

After the corruption that's been exposed I have no issues sweeping for bugs, extra security, etc.

Good report if its true. You should be able to criticize while you endorse him too. What is bad should not come to the oval office in Trump's era. This will make him sharper thanks for the report. I hope he(the president) will correct this error as he always has corrected many evil in the past year.

The American people deserve to have their labor wasted...first they do nothing on their own behalf to prevent the outrageous taxation of their labor (totally UN-Constitutional) and they sit on their collective hands when they hear stories that their elected officials have used tax payer dollars to party all over the world. No guts no glory.

[Patriotintexas]

And at this point Rosenstein and sessions look awfully corrupt as well

Many of those in Trump's administration have serious safety/security issues and I, as a taxpayer, have no problem paying for their safe travel.
