Checking in on That Allegedly Drained Swamp

ProPublica
exposes the Trump administration as a revolving door that's spinning off its hinges.

... the good people at ProPublica have created a database of all the Top People who have been put in place by Camp Runamuck, a startling number of whom drew paychecks from industries they now are supposed to regulate, lobbied against the real mission of the agencies they currently head, and have as their only public-policy experience their presence at the conservative shape-up halls in and out of government.

Is Trump draining the swamp – or is the water rising?

So far, the president's efforts to 'drain the swamp' seem more focused on deregulation and shrinking the federal workforce than making sure his team adheres to the norms and rules of ethical behavior for government officials.

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.

August 22: Meet the New Swamp, Same as the Old Swamp

Trump has not cleaned up the streets of official Washington, and his supporters largely don’t care.

Draining the swamp is hard work—work that is perhaps best undertaken by prosecutors and not politicians.

A Swamp Tour of Trump’s Washington

The current administration is awash in government ethics violations, business conflicts, potential criminal acts, and flagrant lying.
