Bombshell WSJ investigation reveals runaway corruption in the federal government

Some Americans still believe the federal government is working in the public’s best interest.

At the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Journal found that 'more than 200 senior officials… or nearly one in three, reported that they or their family members held investments in companies that were lobbying the agency.'

The Journal reviewed more than 31,000 financial disclosure forms and analyzed more than 850,000 financial assets and 315,000 trades to shed light on any conflicts of interest among more than 12,000 senior career bureaucrats and political appointees. Its investigation found that “thousands of officials across the U.S. government’s executive branch disclosed owning or trading stocks that stood to rise or fall with decisions their agencies made.”

Did they review Trump and Biden's financial disclosures?

Nice excuse making ......

What's going to happen with this report?
This is big stuff - if it is true. Do you know if it is true?
Do you think the Wall Street Journal is going to do any more than reporting it?
Do you think the Justice Department is going to read the article and open an investigation and arrest the Ivy League federal workers?
What can you do? What can I do? What can any of us peasants do?
Vote for honest politicians??? Who votes for corrupt politicians???

It's a big mess. The federal officials would not have done it if they did not know they could get away with it.

Here is a copy of the end of the WSJ's article.

The scope of the investigation was extensive:
The Journal obtained and analyzed more than 31,000 financial-disclosure forms for about 12,000 senior career employees, political staff and presidential appointees. The review spans 2016 through 2021 and includes data on about 850,000 financial assets and more than 315,000 trades reported in stocks, bonds and funds by the officials, their spouses or dependent children.

The federal government doesn’t maintain a comprehensive public database of the mandatory financial disclosures of all senior executive-branch officials. The Journal built its own.

Nothing Burger

We need a new Constitution with practical checks and balances.

It is excusable for semi-literate аmerican voters to demand from a capitalist "promises" that he "govern fairly" and not capitalistically, so that he is not a "champion of the interests of Сapital."

The essence of the matter is that the Trumps, Bidens, etc. - even if they were all personally angels of virtue, unselfishness and love for people - are representatives, leaders, elected people of the capitalist class, and this class is interested in an aggressive and predatory policy.

Yep, communism is so much better. The oligarchs live in mansions, sail enormous yachts, and eat well while telling the starving masses that all are equal.

The starving part is a major distraction for the masses.
