NLRB Lawyer Caught in Ethics Violation
An Obama-appointed lawyer for the National Labor Relations Board intervened in a case in violation of ethics regulations, theWashington Examiner reports. The lawyer held significant stock in a company involved in the case.
Lafe Solomon, appointed by President Obama to serve as Acting General Counsel for the National Labor Relations Board, violated ethics rules by intervening in a case on behalf of a company in which he owns stock, the inspector general reported.
The inspector general, concluding that Solomon’s behavior amounted to a “complete failure of the NLRB’s ethics program,” announced his error after investigating his efforts to prevent a National Labor Relations Act complaint from being filed against Wal-Mart.

Gee, I wonder whether the NLRB would have done anything had the NLRB lawyer been illegally blocking a defense against the charge by the defendant.

If this guy were acting AGAINST Wal-Mart instead of FOR it, this would have gone unnoticed or been swept under the carpet.
