“When the money isn’t disclosed, it’s not clear how much everybody is giving, who is giving it and what they are getting in return for their donations,”
When you give money with expectation of something in return, it's not a donation. Isn't it time we started calling it what it is?
Just in general, why is the transition funded by private donors at all? No matter who takes the office, it's a necessary part of running the government, and should be handled by public money. Having private money do it is always an opening for corruption.
That's how it's supposed to work, but it's predicated on the incoming administration doing certain things, like signing ethics documents. Trump's team is refusing to do this.
Who gives a fuck anymore? He can clearly do whatever he wants without consequences.
