GAO: WH violated federal law

[hypocritexposer]

It's not every day that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports that the Executive Office of the President violated federal law, but that's the conclusion the GAO released in a report this month, after reviewing bilateral talks with the Chinese government hosted by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP).

The White House Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) disputes GAO's conclusion, arguing that the law does not constitutionally apply to the OSTP's diplomatic activities.

The disagreement stems from meetings this past May in which officials from the OSTP met with representatives of the Chinese government to discuss technology innovation and economic issues.

so far this administration has stomped on state's rights, refused to uphold laws it disagrees with, now it claims constitutional authority over laws?

the damage this administration is doing to the rule of law sets a dangerous precedence..

if you do not like the law the normal procedure is to challenge it in court, not ignore/violate it.
