Glad they included Downey Magallanes, who, under the corrupt and disgraced Ryan Zinke, was responsible for drastically shrinking Bears Ears National Monument so BP could drill for oil on it. As soon as the ink was dry on that despicable act she resigned and went to work for BP as their “Senior Director of Federal Government Affairs” – everyone knows this means she’s a lobbyist, but (wink, wink) that’s OK since the word “lobbyist” isn’t actually in her title. She helped desecrate a national treasure and transfer millions of dollars of public resources (previously owned by you and me) to private coffers just so she could secure a lucrative corporate job. The shameful details are here.
P.S. @dragonfly9 – awesome catch – thank you for keeping us informed! And you’re so right when you say that part of Trump’s con is to “appear to be following the rules, but with no intention of even doing so.” When he made such a big deal about his “ethics pledge” shortly after taking office, we all knew it was a load of hogwash; nothing more than another of his reality-TV stunts and, surprise, surprise, here we are two years later with proof that we were right.
P.P.S. Remarkable reporting by ProPublica! They nailed this – and must have spent a massive amount of time on the research. I’ll say it again – we are so fortunate to have a free and dedicated press – they are a vital pillar of our democracy.
