Teapot Dome 2

White House concerned Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke violated federal rules

The White House is growing increasingly concerned about allegations of misconduct against Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, according to two senior administration officials, and President Trump has asked aides for more information about a Montana land deal under scrutiny by the Justice Department.

Trump told his aides that he is afraid Zinke has broken rules while serving as the interior secretary and is concerned about the Justice Department referral, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter. But the president has not indicated whether he will fire the former Navy SEAL and congressman and has asked for more information, the officials said.

This week, Interior’s Office of Inspector General referred the inquiry — one of several probes into the secretary’s conduct — to the Justice Department to determine whether a criminal investigation is warranted. That referral concerns Zinke’s involvement in a Whitefish, Mont., land development deal backed by David J. Lesar, chairman of the oil services firm Halliburton.

Forum hiccup. Three threads for the price of one!

Trump is looking into it. What's your point, Jake?

The business and retail park, known as 95 Karrow, would be near parcels of land owned by Zinke and his wife, Lola. The inspector general is looking at discussions Zinke had with Lesar and others about the development that could indicate he was using his office to enrich himself.

Just the right wing blaming the poor instead.

Trump is "looking into it".

Yea...that sounds SO reassuring

There is corruption up and down the Trump Administration...but he's "looking into it"

As with the Trump WH’s incessant lying, the Trump WH riddled with corruption renders the American people numb and shell-shocked, a kind of political PTSD.

McCabe, Comey, Yates ... that's called draining the swamp. It is also part of MAGA!

 

[Lesh]

Trump IS the swamp.

How many of his cabinet members are under investigation for corruption?

Wanna guess?

 

[Lewdog]

Should have seen this coming a long time ago when Trump announced that the federal government would be selling off tons of federally held land... and that he wanted to build new pipelines and get rid of regulations on mining and drilling.

Doing something about it now is like waiting until standing in 3 foot of water to call the plumber.

Trump is looking into it. What's your point, Jake?

Yeah, he's looking into it. LOL.

And he'll get to the bottom of it in no time, as long as it doesn't require having to read anything, and it also doesn't require having more than a one second attention span.

 

[Lesh]

Trump's looking into it sounds a lot like OJ trying to get to the bottom of Nicole Brown's murder

When the history of the Trump administration is written, it will put Teapot Dome and Watergate to shame. Benedict Arnold's name will be replaced...
