Using His Position For Private Gain: Ben Carson Was Warned by HUD lawyers.

“CMS awarded a $485,000 contract to the consulting company Myriddian, whose chief executive is Merlynn Carson. Carson Jr. identifies himself online as one of Myriddian's board members. The contract was awarded without a competitive bidding process, federal records show, although a CMS spokesman said multiple minority-owned firms were considered.”

Dr. Carson should have studied the difference between honest graft and dishonest graft before accepting public office.

he must have decided that he needed to practice his brain surgery... and decided that the easiest thing was to just practice on himself.

The second problem for Trump... who will he get to replace Carson at HUD? Omarosa is already gone. And, in his mind, it has to be a black person to deal with "the projects". I guess he could always get Herman Cain. LOL

to get the Fucking Moron out no matter how crazy he is. They are getting rich as his cabinet and money is the only thing they care about. And what about the future of the country? They do not give a damn.
