Wilbur Ross is in the news, and since he& #39;s lowkey one of the most problematic and potentially criminally corrupt officials in Trump& #39;s cabinet, let& #39;s take a journey down memory lane, shall we?

I say Wilbur Ross possibly engaged in criminal ethics violations because in 2018 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 he should have already divested https://www.citizensforethics.org/press-release/wilbur-ross/">https://www.citizensforethics.org/press-rel...

And that& #39;s not all. Ross also apparently participated in a series of meetings with major companies that he and his wife held significant financial interests in, despite (again) having promised to divest the holdings https://www.citizensforethics.org/press-release/crew-files-criminal-complaint-against-wilbur-ross/">https://www.citizensforethics.org/press-rel...

Last year, we learned that the Office of Government Ethics declined to certify his financial disclosure after concluding that Ross wasn& #39;t "in compliance with applicable laws and regulations" https://twitter.com/CREWcrew/status/1097971156836143105">https://twitter.com/CREWcrew/...

And it has been barely a year since 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 in the census 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">https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/nat...

In any other administration, Ross& #39;s continued employment would be a national scandal, but in the Trump era, he& #39;s put in control of our economic recovery! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙃" title="Upside-down face" aria-label="Emoji: Upside-down face">

There& #39;s also the fact that Wilbur Ross might have stolen $120 million from people he worked with, which really says something about the kind of people Trump hires #39dd7cca1c33">https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2018/08/06/new-details-about-wilbur-rosss-businesses-point-to-pattern-of-grifting/ #39dd7cca1c33">https://www.forbes.com/sites/dan...
