We want our government officials to be reliable, credible, and truthful.

That goes for law enforcement too, from the street cop to the police chief, the special agent to the FBI Director.

New WaPo reporting and my quick comment upon these reported actions by the U.S.
Military might never makes right.
We used to have moral high ground.
These recent actions and contrived justifications stray far from gray areas and are one deadly part of a much bigger pattern of lawlessness.

And one believes in ethics in government and sees this:
"[T]he Commerce Department became the largest shareholder of Intel, the beleaguered U.S. chip giant...shortly after that agreement was made, President Trump personally purchased between $1 million and $5 million of Intel’s corporate debt."

If one believes in capitalism and free markets, and is also adverse to things pertaining to "socialism", how would one feel about the U.S. taking ownership stakes in private companies?
Does it become OK depending on which person or which party is doing it?
