This comes amid broader concerns about conflicts of interest within Trump’s transition team and incoming administration.

    This is exactly what the Trump Administration did last time. This is exactly what Americans voted for. No one should be surprised or shocked. This should have been understood it was going to happen.

      I’m gonna say this every fucking time.

      77 million out of 330 262 million Americans (who can vote) voted for him.

      Blame can go all around, but not even 1/3 of Americans went out and said they wanted this.

        Technically true. But the other 3rd basically saw it as acceptable. Which isn’t much better.

          Some saw it as acceptable, but I most evidence points to most of that 1/3 not having a goddamn clue about it.

          There’s some bother suppression and apathy sprinkled in too.
