According to his federal disclosure forms, filed in May 2016, President Donald Trump held between $15,000 and $50,000 in stock in Energy Transfer Partners – down from $500,000 to $1 million in 2015 – and between $100,000 and $250,000 in Phillips 66. This creates a conflict of interest when making presidential decisions affecting the pipeline project. The senior Democrat on the Public Resources Committee, Raul Grijalva, called this appearance of conflict of interest "disturbing".[147] The Washington Post reported that Trump sold off his shares in Energy Transfer Partners in the summer of 2016.[148] The credibility of this claim has been questioned.[149]

Trump is also indirectly linked to the project because Energy Transfer Partners CEO Kelcy Warren contributed $103,000 to the Trump campaign.[150][151] Trump has said that he supports the completion of the pipeline project. According to his transition team this position "has nothing to do with his personal investments and everything to do with promoting policies that benefit all Americans."[152]

A former staffer of Iowa Governor Terry Branstad re-election campaign, Susan Fenton, who is now the director of government affairs with the Des Moines public relations firm LS2, is handling public relations for Energy Transfer.[153] Texas governor Rick Perry was member of the Energy Transfer Partners and Sunoco Logistics Partners boards of directors but resigned after Trump selected Perry as his nomination for Energy Secretary In December 2016.[154] Kelcy Warren had contributed $6 million to Perry's 2016 Presidential campaign.[155]

System working as designed.

And they keep growing. (Was going to cite "Wedding Day at Trollhaugen" as a submission for Box's leitmotif;) alas.. it's spelled "Troldhaugen", so the 'nick is a FAIL/..too many words. Oh. Well.
