Under the executive order, waivers are granted for two reasons: “The application of the restriction is inconsistent with the purposes of the restriction,” and/or “that it is in the public interest to grant the waiver.” The latter reason is clearer than the former, which is the stated premise for most exceptions. But even media watchdogs scrutinizing the waivers granted to Biden administration officials are careful to note that such officials were upfront about the waivers and their reasons for seeking them; that these waivers were filed ahead of Senate confirmation hearings; and that none of them came as a surprise.10

Neither your political affiliation and alignment nor your view of the ethics of either administration have much bearing on the salient point here. Exceptions to ethics rules tell us as much about the content of those rules (and their genuine legitimacy as ethics) as the rules themselves. Exceptions can be unnerving for those on the receiving end of an organizational ethics framework, as they appear to undermine the full credibility of the framework. But they can also be illuminating, as they can sharpen our understanding of the essential ethics that actually exist beneath our stated intent.
