Robert Reich: DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate -- and violated

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

The ogre is going to have to pick another asshole for the job.

markwayne has waaaaay too many conflicts of interest.

I'd be surprised if some Democrats don't also have financial interests in matters that they are ruling on.
