If this isn't a conflict of interest, I'd like someone to show me what is.......

Johns' family ties to a massive financial stake in a green energy firm 'could present an issue,' ethics expert tells Fox News Digital

Senior Department of Energy (DOE) official Wahleah Johns' spouse is the top executive and co-founder of a green energy firm that specializes in financing solar projects.

Johns — who was selected to lead the DOE's Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs in January 2021 — is married to Billy Parish, the CEO of the California-based Mosaic, according to Office of Government Ethics filings reviewed by Fox News Digital. Overall, Parish has more than $1 million in vested stock options of Mosaic and an up to $25 million stake in the firm, the filings showed.

By law that is not a conflict of interest. When they state it could present an ethics problem, they implied that their roles could lead to potential insider trading and influential decision making which then could lead to ethics issue and a conflict of interest. This is very common in the US. Take for instance, if a guy is married to an executive at Moderna. The guy can own Moderna stock and not have any conflict of interest but there is a potential for an ethics violation, leading to a conflict of interest / insider trading, if the Moderna exec were to tell her husband that Moderna was on the verge of getting approval for their covid-19 vaccine and the guy subsequently buys 2,500 shares of Moderna stock.

Conflicts of interest are common and usually not illegal as long as all involved parties are aware of the potential conflict. The one who has or could have a conflict has a duty to inform all others. Failure to inform is usually going to get you in legal trouble.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.

Was Trump ever prosecuted for having conflicts of interest in his business life or public service life? He had many conflicts, of course, but I don't think anyone ever accused him of trying to hide any of them.

Good for them. Now if only this left wing site would dedicate some of their efforts to pursuing the truth on both sides of the aisle, they might have some credibility. Otherwise it looks just like another Trump property where he lives in their heads.
