Eliza Newlin Carney at The American Prospect writes—Ethics Watchdog Can Only Do So Much. To really take on the Trump administration, the Office of Government Ethics would need a stronger arsenal: For more than 30 years, watchdogs have pleaded in vain with Congress to strengthen the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), an independent agency set up in the wake of Watergate to ward off executive branch conflicts of interest.
