As part of her political branding of herself as a reformer, Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is currently vying for the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party for the November 2020 U.S.election, put forth a gimmick she called her "ethics plan." 

Unfortunately for the Honorable Ms. Warren, a citizen or reporter posed an obvious question to her: Under the Warren "ethics plan," would the son of her Vice President be allowed to serve on a foreign company's board? Warren said "No," then immediately caught herself and emitted a cloud of rhetorical smoke, saying "I don't know, I mean I'd have to go back and look at the details. I'd have to go back and look."

Her party, the so-called Democratic Party, is in the midst of a campaign (backed by almost all U.S. establishment media) of diverting attention from the corruption of their favored candidate to replace Donald Trump as U.S. president, Joe Biden, who as vice president under president Barack "The Drone Assassin" Obama was assigned the duty of supervising the newly-minted U.S. client government of Ukraine. At that time, 2014, Biden's son Hunter was given a board seat on a Ukrainian gas company, Burisma, with pay of $50,000 per month. After pocketing $3 million in total, Hunter Biden resigned his seat earlier this year as his father entered the race for U.S. president. (Obviously the Bidens knew damn well this was potentially scandalous. Hunter Biden had no qualifications for the appointment except for who his father is.) The Democrats are now using a phone call Trump made to the Ulrainian president on July 25th which included a request by Trump for Ukraine to investigate the Biden appointment to Burisma, as an excuse to try and impeach Trump.

This accounts for Warren's pathetic waffling on the ethics question.  She's a political captive of her party. Indeed, for all her goody-two-shoes schoolmarm posturing, she's a captive of a corrupt system.

Warren is typical of the grifters, hustlers, opportunists, and greasy power pole climbers that inhabit the Democratic Party and dominate its upper echelons. (Exhibit A: the Clintons. Exhibit B: Barack "The Drone Assassin" Obama.] Warren exhibited her habit of opportunism and self-advancement early in life, when in college she listed herself as a Native American to take advantage of certain programs designed to help that oppressed minority. (Warren has 1/16th Native "blood.") A Republican until the age of 47, Warren pushed herself into public prominence during the 2008 financial crisis precipitated by the reckless behavior of U.S. finance capitalists, by calling for reasonable regulation. Merely for this pragmatic rationality, she is regarded as a foe by capitalist ideological fanatics. It turns out that even pragmatic capitalism is too "radical" for the reactionary U.S. power structure to tolerate. Ultimately to toothless "Consumer Financial Protection Bureau" was created, that is just for show. (I know from personal experience.) The Dodd-Frank financial regulations have been watered down. Ironically, it was the Democratic Party's president Bill Clinton who is most responsible for the 2008 crash by leading the repeal of the Depressoin Era Glass-Steagal Act, a decade before the crisis hit.
