12/3/18
The attorneys general of Maryland and the District of Columbia are preparing to move forward with subpoenas for President Trump's businesses in their lawsuit alleging he is in violation of the U.S. Constitution's emoluments clause. U.S. District Court Judge Peter J. Messitte gave the order for discovery in the case to proceed to D.C. Attorney General Karl A. Racine and Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh, who have accused Trump of illegally profiting off the presidency. The list of subpoena targets will be released on Tuesday. "We will now serve subpoenas to third-party organizations and federal agencies to gather the necessary evidence to prove that President Trump is violating the Constitution's emoluments clauses — our nation's original anti-corruption laws," Racine said in a statement. The lawsuit has zeroed in on the Trump International Hotel, only blocks from the White House, and whether or not he has profited from both foreign and state government spending at the hotel. There have been questions about Trump's legal and business entanglements since he took office, which have been compounded by the president's refusal to release his personal tax returns and hesitation to sever ties with his business empire. Last month, Messite agreed that the lawsuit against Trump could go ahead, marking the first time an emoluments case has ever gone to trial in U.S. history. Trump and the Justice Department had requested a stay.

Good news. I'm convinced Trump is purposefully profiting financially from the wanton commingling of his presidency and his business empire. Just last week Trump basically said he would ignore the report of the CIA regarding the culpability of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman in the brutal murder of US resident Jamal Khashoggi. The Kingdom has spent millions at Trumps International Hotel in Washington, D.C. This is just the latest example of likely Emoluments Clause violations. If Trump had appointed a true blind trust manager for his Trump Organization after the 2016 election, he wouldn't be being sued by the Attorneys General of Maryland and D.C. But then again, Trump wouldn't be able to use his presidency to increase corporate profits as is now the case with no true blind trust. To no one's great surprise, Trump chose increased business profits over presidential integrity.

It appears TDS is still alive and well.


1. Doing business with his hotel is not a violation of the Emoluments clause.

2. Our relationship with the Saudi Government should not be jeopardized over the killing of their own citizen.

What was it Trump said about how bad it would be to elect someone who was going to be mired in legal troubles for a long time?

He said it would be a constitutional crisis.

But we know how little regard he has for the Constitution.

 

[Mr Person]

It appears TDS is still alive and well.

Why do you say this about the poster?

iLOL Why do you assume it is about the poster and not the article they posted?

 

[poweRob]

Why do you say this about the poster?

Because excon has TDS in the form of trump worship. Anything goes when defending das Führer.

 

[Cardinal]

I would love it if Trump's lawyers' sole argument was "TDS."

Come to think of it, his lawyers are so awful at this point that I'm not excluding it as a possibility.

Wrong as usual and typical behavior of one who can not refute what was said so instead attacks poster.

Is that what you think? That's nice.

Learn something.

What a ridiculously hypocritical thing to say. Par for the course for you.

Your opening salvo was to attack the OP by saying they have TDS because you lacked any content of the actual topic. :lol:

 

[Lethargic Aptitude]

That Wikipedia link did more for me than it did you. Thank you! In other words you probably should have read it first.

Wrong as usual. Which of course is actually par for the course for you.

Your opening salvo was to attack the OP by saying they have TDS because you lacked any content of the actual topic. :lol:

As already said to another.
"Why do you assume it is about the poster and not the article they posted? "
TDS is a complete refutation. Or do you really not understand all that TDS encompasses?

 

[Excon]

That Wikipedia link did more for me than it did you. Thank you! In other words you probably should have read it first.

Wrong. It showed they are our friends, which refutes your bs.

WRONG! as usual. I know you are but what am I?

I posted last so I'm better than you.

 

[Excon]

I posted last so I'm better than you.

And again you show you have no valid argument, as usual. Figures.

 

[Lethargic Aptitude]

lol sure.

 

[Excon]

lol sure.

Absolutely, or do you have some kind of biased bs blocking whatever it is you use to think?
Nations do what they believe are in their best interests.
Just because we differ in some areas does not mean we are not and can not be friends (diplomatically speaking).

Not at all, but it does appear that you are.

WRONG! I pwned you and you can't handle it because I post more than you which means I win.

It's about time his obviously criminal activity has some repercussions...

One thing I don’t understand that perhaps folks who know how rich people think can help me with: Trump was very rich before becoming president. He will be very rich afterwards. In return for the presidency, why can’t he stop making as much money for 4/8 years? Instead of putting his business in some sort of trust, he turns the reins over to Ivanka and Jarred, and invites them into the White House. I don’t get it.

Reminded of the line from the movie “ Wall Street,” directed at Gordon Gecko, “just how big a yacht do you need to water-ski behind?”
