WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department allowed at least seven foreign governments to rent luxury condominiums in New York’s Trump World Tower in 2017 without approval from Congress, according to documents and people familiar with the leases, a potential violation of the U.S. Constitution’s emoluments clause.

 

Congressional staffers confirmed to Reuters that the Trump World Tower lease requests were never submitted to Congress. Elijah Cummings, chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, said his committee has been “stonewalled” in its efforts to obtain detailed information about foreign government payments to Trump’s businesses.

 

“This new information raises serious questions about the President and his businesses’ potential receipt of payments from foreign governments,” Cummings said in a statement to Reuters. “The American public deserves full transparency.”

An investigation into emoluments clause violations by Trump would be the quickest way to show the public how corrupt Trump is.

Do you really think there are people on either side don't know how corrupt he is?

Fucking idiots would be shitting yourselves if you found out Don Jr got a billion from the bank of China. What fucking liars. 

 

 

Look man....I'm not nieve enough to think all corruption would be eliminated....it happens on both side.  A president should never be able to behave like this.....it's beneath the office and a shame you don't see it.

An intelligent person can discern the difference between renting or selling condos in a luxury tower near the UN to a massive cash payment. You think Hunter Biden gets that billion from the bank of china without his dad being in office? That is exactly what the clause is for!

They don't and truthfully our economy requires that a large portion of the public lives in the dark to what really goes on and is just happy being part of the system.

They are not being played. Their eyes are wide open as they willingly minimize and excuse all manner of this crap by the aggrieved "the other guy does it" defense.  That's the first bullshit you bust your kids on when they start some lameazz excuse riddled rationalization.  Accountability is long gone with Trump's festering band of blamers.

The Clinton Global Initiative shut down right after hillary lost, and the remnants were rolled into the clinton foundation.

 

Now, why would a worldwide drive to collect donations from foreign investors that included individuals, multinational corporations, and countries, that had grown their donations in 2014 and 2015, suddenly need to close after she lost in 2016?

Because they had no influence left to peddle.  End of story.

And did those donors get their money's worth?  Sorry, trick question,... everyone knows they got hosed.
