At some point, I'd think that the GOP might want to start making things matter in regard to ethics and conflicts of interest just so that future Presidents don't run the country like a monarchy.

I know you're being ironic, mostly, and we could quibble about ethics but, on the conflict of interest side of the equation, no President in history has just flagrantly abused the office as badly as Trump and we're only 70 days into his presidency.

If I'm wrong about this then, I'm willing to be shown the evidence otherwise.

Trump's actively expanding his brand while President, and he's not even denying that he's doing it.

Prohibited personnel practices[edit]
OSC's primary mission is to protect federal employees and others from "prohibited personnel practices." Those practices, defined by law at § 2302(b) of Title 5 of the United States Code (U.S.C.), generally stated, provide that a federal employee may not take, direct others to take, recommend or approve any personnel action that:

1.discriminate against an employee or applicant based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, handicapping condition, marital status, or political affiliation;
2.solicit or consider employment recommendations based on factors other than personal knowledge or records of job-related abilities or characteristics;
3.coerce the political activity of any person;
4.deceive or willfully obstruct anyone from competing for employment;
5.influence anyone to withdraw from competition for any position so as to improve or injure the employment prospects of any other person;
6.give an unauthorized preference or advantage to anyone so as to improve or injure the employment prospects of any particular employee or applicant;
7.engage in nepotism (i.e., hire, promote, or advocate the hiring or promotion of relatives);
8.engage in reprisal for whistleblowing—i.e., take, fail to take, or threaten to take or fail to take a personnel action with respect to any employee or applicant because of any disclosure of information by the employee or applicant that he or she reasonably believes evidences a violation of a law, rule or regulation; gross mismanagement; gross waste of funds; an abuse of authority; or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety (if such disclosure is not barred by law and such information is not specifically required by Executive Order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or the conduct of foreign affairs—if so restricted by law or Executive Order, the disclosure is only protected if made to the Special Counsel, the Inspector General, or comparable agency official);
9.take, fail to take, or threaten to take or fail to take a personnel action against an employee for exercising an appeal, complaint, or grievance right; testifying for or assisting another in exercising such a right; cooperating with or disclosing information to the Special Counsel or to an Inspector General; or refusing to obey an order that would require the individual to violate a law;
10.discriminate based on personal conduct which is not adverse to the on-the-job performance of an employee, applicant, or others;
11.take or fail to take, recommend, or approve a personnel action if taking or failing to take such an action would violate a veterans’ preference requirement;
12.take or fail to take a personnel action, if taking or failing to take action would violate any law, rule or regulation implementing or directly concerning merit system principles at 5 U.S.C. § 2301; or
13.implement or enforce a nondisclosure agreement or policy lacking notification of whistleblower rights.[3]

how many of these have been broken already. I count at least 5, more if you consider katie walsh a whistleblower.

It is ironic that the arsonists that caused the financial collapse are now being given credit...for putting out the fire. Almost every macroeconomist concedes in retrospect that [the Fed’s] extended period of easy money led to the financial crisis,” said Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky.

Michael Flynn’s Immunity Request Rejected By Senate Intelligence Committee
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/senate-intelligence-committee-rejects-immunity-michael-flynn-n741061


quote:

The Senate Intelligence Committee turned down the request by former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn's lawyer for a grant of immunity in exchange for his testimony, two congressional sources told NBC News.

A senior congressional official with direct knowledge said Flynn's lawyer was told it was "wildly preliminary" and that immunity was "not on the table" at the moment. A second source said the committee communicated that it is "not receptive" to Flynn's request "at this time."
