Walter is a sly little fox!




The President isn't covered by many ethics laws, but he's covered by 18 U.S.C. § 201, the anti-bribery statute. I say this for no reason in particular.

Shouldn't the leader of our nation be subject to more ethics laws than anyone else?

Yes.

But as @tribelaw

, typically we don't choose criminals as president. So people haven't really understood how crucial such laws were.

Enacting a blizzard of such laws must be the FIRST priority of Congress as soon as we get control of the Senate.
