YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRachel Maddow points out that the Trump transition's supposed agreement to allow FBI background checks of Donald Trump's appointees does not appear to be as much of a requirement as their announcement suggests, leaving a "brain worm's worth of wiggle room" in how the new arrangement is interpreted.
P.S. The transition later responded to our questions, including whether background checks would be mandatory for all nominees and whether they would share the results with all senators. Transition spokesperson Brian Hughes told us only: "All nominees and appointees will comply with the ethical obligations of their respective agencies.”
