    Team Trump tries to block disclosure of ex-lobbyists working for administration

    http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/firs...it-his-n763491

    One of his first acts was to sign an executive order banning members of his administration for becoming lobbyists. But it hasn't stopped lobbyists from joining the administration. They do not want you to find out about it.

    Meanwhile, this news appears to undercut another of Trump's campaign promises -- to drain Washington's swamp. "The Trump administration, in a significant escalation of its clash with the government's top ethics watchdog, has moved to block an effort to disclose the names of former lobbyists who have been granted waivers to work in the White House or federal agencies," the New York Times says. "The latest conflict came in recent days when the White House, in a highly unusual move, sent a letter to Walter M. Shaub Jr., the head of the Office of Government Ethics, asking him to withdraw a request he had sent to every federal agency for copies of the waivers. In the letter, the administration challenged his legal authority to demand the information.

    Before we can drain the swamp, we must first secure the swamp.

    I would prefer "We had to destroy the swamp in order to save it".

    Clearly, you don't understand the long game.

    Having lobbyists in the white house is such a disaster, that getting rid of them, would be even more of a disaster
    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.
