Wilbur Ross is trending, which is a great opportunity for a reminder that he has engaged in some of the most blatant—and potentially criminal—ethics violations of anyone in the Trump administration (and that's saying a lot!)
In any other administration, Ross's continued employment would be a national scandal, but in the Trump era, it's barely a blip.
It wasn't even a year ago that a federal judge ruled that Ross broke several laws and violated the constitutional underpinning of representative democracy in pushing to add questions aimed at undercounting certain minority groups https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/wilbur-ross-broke-law-violated-constitution-in-census-decision-judge-rules/2019/03/06/9d7962aa-404c-11e9-a0d3-1210e58a94cf_story.html
This is the same Wilbur Ross who, when he found out that NYT was writing a story about his dealings with a firm that has ties to Putin, he shorted the stock, then sold assets.....that *he should have already divested.*
