The things that he talked about in his letter, that's what they should be
using to try to impeach Trump instead of this Russia stuff. Everyone knows
he's into all kinds of crooked dealing and that he uses his office for the
financial gain of himself and his family. Isn't that "misdemeanors and high
crimes"? All the good honest people will eventually resign from government
posts and we'll be left with, what?

Office of Government Ethics Director Announces Resignation
by Andrew Rafferty
WASHINGTON - The head of the federal agency charged with overseeing
government ethics announced Thursday he is resigning nearly six months
before his term is set to expire.
Walter Shaub Jr., the director of the independent Office of Government
Ethics, tweeted the resignation letter he sent to President Donald Trump,
announcing his last day on the job would be July 19.
Shaub's agency is charged with enforcing the often murky ethics laws in the
era of Trump. In his resignation letter, Shaub praised his employees'
commitment to "protecting the principle that public service is a public
trust, requiring employees to place loyalty to the Constitution, the laws,
and ethical principles above private gain."
Shaub clashed with the White House several times over issues ranging from
how Trump has handled his business dealings as president to how the Trump
transition was handled and the promotion of Trump businesses from White
House staff.
"It's clear that there isn't more I could accomplish," Shaub told the
Washington Post in an interview about his tenure. Just after his resignation
letter was released, the Campaign Legal Center announced Shaub would join as
senior director of ethics.
