If it’s Broke, Fix it

“When it comes to federal government ethics and the rule of law, a great deal was broken in the past four years that must now be repaired. In this report, a group of distinguished scholars and practitioners has come together to provide an independent assessment of that problem and its solutions. The mission that these accomplished individuals undertook was to think deeply about what went awry, the deeper weaknesses that were exposed, and how to fix these weaknesses moving forward in their particular domains of expertise. They range from ethics and conflicts of interest, to the Hatch Act and big money in politics, to transparency and independence at the Department of Justice, to ethics issues impacting the U.S. role on the international scene.”
