Summary: Ivanka Trump succumbed to pressure, and in becoming a federal employee as an 'Assistant to the President' is subject to ethics laws. This raises new questions about existing conflicts of interest and what mechanisms are in place to avoid future ones. We also provides context about the FBI's investigation into the Trump campaign's potential collusion with Russian operatives, and how the Republican "fog machine" seeks to muddy the news cycle. Finally, I discuss the potential consequences of the GOP-led effort to allow ISPs to sell private data while also seeking to invalidate net neutrality.
