Oh, GOOD GOD

They can't even be clean on the simplest things.

This new bit of information on the completely unqualified Trump nominee to a judicial position:
Brett J. Talley, is awaiting a Senate confirmation vote that could come as early as Monday to become a federal district judge in Alabama. He is married to Ann Donaldson, the chief of staff to the White House counsel, Donald F. McGahn II.

  NYT
Something he just forgot to mention. No, not "forgot" ... intentionally sought to deceive.
Mr. Talley was asked on his publicly released Senate questionnaire to identify family members and others who are “likely to present potential conflicts of interest.” He did not mention his wife.

[...]

Mr. Talley also did not mention his wife when he described his frequent contact with White House lawyers during the nomination process.
And, here's another little tidbit that might prove important:
Ms. Donaldson has emerged in recent weeks as a witness in the special counsel’s investigation into whether Mr. Trump obstructed justice. She was interviewed by investigators recently about her detailed notes about conversations with Mr. McGahn on topics including the firing of the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey.
You don't suppose her demand for keeping quiet on some things she knows was naming her husband to the federal bench, do you?

 ...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
