GREAT MOMENTS IN JOURNALISM: Trump gets to decide if his transition team will have a code of ethics.

Every transition team makes up its own rules as it goes along.

If you’ll recall, the Obama Administration-elect was so concerned with the Clintons’ aptitude for ethics trouble, that it required Bill to agree to limit his activities and fundraising efforts for the family’s Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative, for the length of Hillary’s tenure at State. The agreement proved worthless of course, and the White House’s willful blindness to the Clintons’ activities likely cost Hillary the election.

In any case, Trump has “cut all lobbyists” from his transition team, which seems like an improvement.
