The Trump Organization's new "ethics pledge" is wafer-thin, and swings the door wide open for foreign dictatorships and foreign oligarchs to influence White House policy—all while selling American foreign policy to the highest bidder. My conversation with The New Republic's Greg Sargent on the topic—and how all of this could, if we're lucky, usher in a new age of anti-corruption, counter-kleptocracy reforms.

But why was Trump’s version of the ethics agreement accepted? He should sign the Government one or he will not be inaugurated. The government let people in power do what they want.

All very predictable. Putin. Erdogan. It's the same kleptocratic game. Americans voted for "change" and they're going to get it.
Glad you are bringing this out again and again, Casey. Sad and sickening situation. Good work.
Keep on with the good work, Casey Michel
Purpose is the engine at work
