Reince Priebus, President-elect Trump's chief of staff is intimidating Walter Shaub, the head of the Office of Government Ethics. He is intimidating the head of the Office of Government Ethics! Shaub has stated that President-elect Trump needs to avoid conflicts of interest by divesting himself of his businesses. President-elect Trump doesn't want to do that, so he's attacking. Priebus said, “The head of the government ethics ought to be careful..." It really doesn't matter what comes after that. It's a threat and it's inappropriate. He then attempted to marginalize him by saying, “So I'm not so sure what this person at Government Ethics, what sort of standing he has anymore in giving these opinions.”
This is the President-elect's administration, removing the barriers to it's unethical behavior. This is a problem.
