Besides DOJ we have a series of agency IGs who have been asleep at the switch. My agency, DOL, was hell on wheels on stuff like the "appearance" of conflicts of interests.
In the final hours of his term, Trump rescinded an executive order he had issued years earlier to bar former White House employees from lobbying the government after they leave their jobs.
The order was rescinded around 1 a.m., just after Mr. Trump issued 143 clemency grants to allies, associates and low-level offenders serving lengthy sentences.
Regardless, people like Mnuchin were employees of agencies -- the Treasury Department. And Financial Disclosure rules were probably violated -- especially by the Trump family.
Daniel EO orders signed by Trump can be rescinded or redone by Biden.
Trump created Schedule F Employees. Employees that were political appointees, to embed in the government as protected civil servants, and to reclassify those who occupied those slots as at will employees.
Biden rescinded that EO with his EO 14003, which he could have used to replace the Trump appointees, thus robbing Trump of a tool, but he didn't he left Trump's virus in place and now we are seeing the results, especially with this Weiss character who begged Garland to appoint him special counsel to prosecute Hunter
EO 13843 titled, “Excepting Administrative Law Judges from the Competitive Service” (83 FR 32755). The E.O. specifies that all appointments of ALJs made on or after July 10, 2018 must be made under Schedule E of the excepted service and acknowledges that such appointments must be made by the head of the hiring agency.
My position was restructured so that new hires were not merit selected. Biden did not cure it because it entails a lousy interpretation from SCOTUS and reinstatement of a hiring "register." . Whereas judges had been hired after a test, an examination of experience and an impartial panel review through OPM, the Office of Personnel Management, now hired under the spoils system.
Wow so now we have regressed to the spoils system. By cure I take it to mean that Biden did not have a permanent remedy, because of a lousy interpration of SCOTUS. What was the SCOTUS interpretation., is it so bad that Biden finds the status quo better than revoking Dubya's EO 13483?
The SEC improperly appointed judges. I begged them to ask the SEC to reappoint them, but they never did. In Lucia v. SEC, SCOTUS found they were unconstitutionally appointed, and hundreds of cases had to be reheard. The Trump administration tried to extend this across many other agencies, and there is still ongoing litigation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucia_v._Securities_and_Exchange_Commission
I've probably told you that the administration's knowledge and view of administrative law has been lacking. This stuff is arcane and has been in a state of flux. The Administrative Procedure Act should be a mini Constitution in cases involving regulations and adjudications by administrative agencies. Biden administration did not do fact finding under the APA in the OSHA vaccine case. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/13/supreme-court-ruling-biden-covid-vaccine-mandates.html

Same thing in the EPA case. Agencies should, as a matter of self preservation, in an abundance of caution as we say in the trade, hold hearings and establish a factual basis for rulemaking. https://www.eenews.net/articles/supreme-court-rejects-challenge-to-biden-climate-metric/
