Barney Frank: "[A] blatant conflict of interest... The job of White House counsel is to represent the president. It& #39;s contemptuous." https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/04/03/trump-coronavirus-inspector-general-brian-miller/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/...
So far we& #39;ve seen:

-- Trump say, "I& #39;ll be the oversight"

-- Nomination of WH attorney to key IG post

Dems insist oversight will be there
