cetera. donald trump s opponents have pounced on these staffing favors. the leaked documents show there were also criticism, not just from opponents, but people who wanted in on the team. mick mulvaney who is now chief of staff. well, he had previously said trump was just, quote, not a very good person. ryan zinky was flagged for calling him undefendable. nikki haley, he is everything we teach our kids not to do in kindergarten. perry is said he is a toxic mix of demagoguery that will lead the republican party to perdition. these were also the things they were gathering to learn about the people as they considered hiring them. now, trump knew about this. the lobbying ties, the documents show 10% of the red flags around trump involved lobbying connections, potentially problematic if your goal was to drain the swamp. take a look at the impact.
this section, while accurate, seems to me to undercut the case for the commercial fishing closure being harmful. i suggest in the attached deleting most of it for that reason are. you shouldn t be able to redact basic facts just because you don t like those basic facts. drew, has the department of interior explained why they were trying to hide this information? is there some legitimate purpose? anderson, there are rules that allow some redactions to take place, but we have no idea why the department of interior would delete things like tourism is up or dinosaur bones were found. the interior department so far hasn t responded to any of this. and it s not the first time that ryan zinky and his staff have failed to disclose or hide information from the public. this comes actually on the heels of another cnn report which found interior secretary ryan zinke i cannot fully disclosing meetings on his calendar, and we also revealed in a cnn investigation how the now fired epa admin
