Do we need ethics waivers? How many until it becomes suspicious?

Things need to be put in perspective... The number of waivers rose during the Obama administration because Mr. Obama imposed new ethics rules, such as a ban on hiring lobbyists, which could be avoided only with a waiver.
With these broad restrictions in place for the first time, the Obama administration issued a relatively small number of waivers. Over Mr. Obama’s eight years in office, about 16 waivers were granted for White House officials and a total of about 70 across the entire federal government. Just three of those waivers for White House staff members came in the first four months of his administration.

No waivers in my opinion. Why would one need a waiver? Make all of them read and sign one; otherwise, they may not know what ethics are.

Many of those waivers were for senior ranking generals who took cabinet positions. Those I understand, but giving waivers to lobbyists and those with conflicts of interest should not be tolerated.
