May 22: A Sinkhole Just Opened in Front of
President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Estate
http://time.com/4788455/trump-mar-a-lago-sinkhole/
May 22: ... A Sinkhole Just Opened Up In The
White House Lawn
Groundskeepers confirmed the sinkhole is growing in size, with some joking that
it is large enough to "drain the swamp" at the White House and Washington. The
White House, home of the President of the United States, was constructed between
1792 and 1800. Since Thomas Jefferson moved into the house in 1801 the house has
remained occupied minus a few unfortunate years where our friends across the
pond decided to set it on fire.

June 1: Smoking Gun: Trump's Swamp
Of all of the lies that propelled Donald Trump to the presidency, few are more
brazen than his vow to “drain the swamp”—that is, to end the culture of cronyism
and corruption that pervades Washington, D.C. Instead, Trump has handed the
reins of government over to an array of shameless, self-serving abusers of the
public trust. While some remain in positions of power and influence, others have
gone too far and been fired or hit with criminal indictments. Here’s a taxonomy
of the bottom-dwellers.

Washington
The current administration is awash in government ethics violations, business

before their minds that they are the guardians of the law, and that the law
officers are only machinery for its execution, nothing more,” [Mark] Twain
