The above headline is a slight truncation of a line in a Monday Wall Street Journal article, printed under the headline “Trump Allies Sold Sponsorships to What Appeared to Be a Treasury Event. It Wasn’t.” The actual line in the article was “The fact that a private conference was marketed as a government-hosted event designed to unveil US government policy startled ethics experts,” worth noting because Jesus Christ, what the hell surprises anyone anymore, especially “ethics experts”?
It’s just a networking event for synergizing industrial-scale graft. Nothing to get freaked out about if you’re the type of person already freaked out about the boundless corruption of the MAGA swamp.
