Quote:President Trump signed an executive order lifting a five-year lobbying ban for members of his administration just hours before he leaves office and Joe Biden is sworn in as the next president of the United States.

The order, issued early Wednesday along with a flurry of pardons for former top campaign and White House officials, nullifies an ethics pledge made by all members of his administration that would have required them to adhere to a five-year cooling-off period before engaging in lobbying services.

“Employees and former employees subject to the commitments in Executive Order 13770 will not be subject to those commitments after noon January 20, 2021," the order reads.

Former President Bill Clinton signed a similar waiver with only weeks left in his term, The Associated Press noted.

The Hill

I guess 4 years in Washington made him a creature of the swamp.

Really drained that Swamp

If media members don't come out saying his staff should not be hired anywhere this doesn't happen. Now they can lobby to fight the Left's America Last policies.

Refill the swamp.

Right...the media determines who companies hire.

That’s what I’m thinking. He wanted to give his staffers a larger pool of potential landing places in what may be a hostile employment environment driven by a vengeful media spewing Democrat hate speech.
