Sen. Elizabeth Warren accused President-elect Donald Trump and his transition team of violating the Presidential Transition Act by failing to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement, a law Warren helped author.
Her comments follow a CNN report suggesting that Trump’s team has withheld necessary transition agreements from the Biden administration due to conflict-of-interest concerns.
Rep. Jamie Raskin also criticized Trump’s refusal to engage in standard transition protocols, warning it could disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. Trump’s actions break a precedent set by presidential candidates since 2010.
We should not point out a single infraction until that broken law is enough to actually spark a national uproar for impeachment. Otherwise we boil the public frog.
Good news, frog legs are delicious. But yeh. We're fucked. I know it. But getting super pissy about every norm and small infraction is just a way to exhaust the public.
