    This is a classic case of play for pay. This disease has spread from
    Trump to his inner circle. The motto being rCywhat is wrong with getting richrCO when the opportunity comes your way. Jarred got 2 billion
    investment fund and the boss himself got a 400 million jet completely retrofitted at taxpayerrCOs expense to the tune of 1 billion. There are
    many other numerous examples

    Federal ethics rules ban employees from taking gifts from any entity
    that does business with, is regulated by or seeks official action from
    their agency but TrumprCOs criminals do not play by the rules.
