Sources: Ivanka Trump to have East Wing office

Ivanka Trump is poised to play an active role in her father's administration, assuming some of the duties normally assigned to the first lady.

Trump transition aides are already planning for an "Office of the First Family," in the East Wing where the current office of the first lady is located, sources familiar with the plan told CNN.

I have no problem with this if she separates herself from the Trump business and her brothers independently run the business during her father's term, but when they too are sitting in on Government meetings, it is apparent that we have entered the realm of third world country ethics. The reason America has put up firewalls is not a theoretical exercise, but one with thousands of examples at state, local, and federal levels where crony politics feeds corruption. To suggest that showing transparency in the children actively participating in the transition and government decisions is the firewall against corruption is insanity.

Absolutely so. Deplorable, matter of fact.

Just think of Trump's White House as a rose garden that is constantly being loaded with manure but nothing ever grows there that doesn't smell and look just like manure.
