Walter Shaub, who resigned last week, was referring to a comment made in January by Reince Priebus. Priebus had said that Shaub “ought to be careful” because he was “becoming extremely political.”
Shaub tells ABC’s “This Week” that “the fairly explicit threat from Reince Priebus” was “really emblematic of how the interactions with the White House have been since the beginning of this administration.”
Shaub had prodded Trump’s administration over conflicts of interest. He announced last week that he was leaving the post to take a job with a Washington non-profit.
This guy is probably so full of himself. How much was he getting working for the government and how much is he going to make working for this alleged non-profit. I’ll bet he’s gonna be making nice bucks.
The bottom line is, he’s a Democrat holdover so GOOD RIDDANCE.
How can an administration headed by someone that “… is utterly amoral” deal with an ethics director?
Good riddnace another deep state anti trump agenda man. Trump is draining the swamp.
If you have no ethics why have a directorr
