Post-Pruitt, there's a DC guessing game about who will emerge as the Trump administration's poster child for corruption (other than Trump), of course. Many fine candidates. But it's looking increasingly like Wilbur Ross will emerge as the most astonishingly corrupt of the bunch.
One weird thing about Ross: he can give exemptions from tariffs to specific companies. And he can also invest in said companies. Even Fox and Breitbart have gone after him about it this summer.

This investigation into Wilbur Ross's corruption by @DanAlexander21 from June is still just astonishing. Ross hopes it's blown over. And yes, there's a lot of other news going on. But wow.

Last week, while you and I weren't paying attention, the indefatigable watchdogs at @CREWcrew filed a criminal complaint against Wilbur Ross & requested an investigation from DOJ & the Commerce Dpt Inspector General. Accountability is on the horizon.
