Once More Without Integrity
According to a story in the Helena Independent Record Feb. 17, 2022, ". . . the U.S. Interior Inspector General found Ryan Zinke misused his position to advance a commercial development project that included a microbrewery in his Montana hometown and lied to an agency ethics official about his involvement.
The investigation found that Zinke continued work on the commercial project through a nonprofit foundation in the resort community of Whitefish even after he committed upon taking office to break ties with the foundation.
Zinke, who is now running for Congress, also gave incorrect and incomplete information to an Interior Department ethics official who confronted him over his involvement and ordered agency staff to help with the project in a misuse of this position, according to the investigation's report. The findings in the report seem to be significant, that he behaved unethically, misused his office and then lied about it to cover it up - those are serious findings, the inspector general said."
The former Navy Seal, former U.S. House Representative from Montana, and former head of the Dept. of the Interior chosen by Donald Trump who resigned during an investigation of his misuse of office, still wants back into our government as an U.S. House Representative from Montana again.
This is a no-brainer. Asking Montana to let him back to misuse an oath of office again - that he obviously pays no attention to - is ludicrous.
Fool us once, shame on Zinke. Fool us twice, shame on Montana Voters!
