What is the code of ethics in politics?

1. Put loyalty to the highest moral principles and to country above loyalty to persons, party, or Government department. 2. Uphold the Constitution, laws, and legal regulations of the United States and of all governments therein and never be a party to their evasion.

If about 73% of Americans who voted for Trump
Don't understand what
ETHICS stand for it is clearly defined and easy to look up. If you allow unethical behavior to govern you reap what you sow .

If the story ofan intelligent man who knows the law so well would commit a sex act in a place
For everybody to see is not made up what is

[sailbroker]

Instead of arming Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan; US tax payer money should be spent on infrastructure, healthcare, education, homelessness etc

Instead of pursuing delusions of grandeur, the US should seek mutually beneficial cooperation with the rest the world.

[danielmacgibbon]

Why release a report of allegations? If there was enough to go to trial, it would have happened already.

[turkeysandwiche]

We don't care this is what the left does every time crywolf pay people to come out of the Woodworks specially women in crywolf

[mikedavis-ipcx]

Go ahead and release it. I dare you. Trump and Johnson would get him through a recess appointment so fast it would make your head swim. He's gonna be AG, one way or another.

[OrimShow]

Forget Matt everyone turn your attention to Wiley nickel he needs to be jailed
