Nice. A completely toothless group of people performing a pointless and inconsequential exercise to determine whether someone everyone knows is unethical is, in fact, also unethical for doing this other thing.

We must maintain the appearance of giving a shit lest the peasants catch on!

Unironically, though; There's a lot of work to do restoring the norms of governance that made America seem "exceptional". We might still be the biggest dog in the room in terms of real power, but our soft power is a shadow of its former self.
