One can dream...

I've often wondered why DOJ didn't prepared an emoluments case against Trump early in the game. That would have barred him from Federal office.

• The Foreign Emoluments Clause (art. I, § 9, cl. 8): “[N]o Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States], shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or
  foreign State.”
• The Domestic Emoluments Clause (art. II, § 1, cl. 7): “The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation which shall neither be encreased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within
  that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.”
• The Ineligibility Clause (art. I, § 6, cl. 2): “No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been
  encreased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.

^ I shall once again mention that our prime minister once got in deep shit for accepting a gift of a pair of sun glasses and forgetting to declare them. If I remember correctly, they cost $35 Cnd.

How very Canadian. [/Sarcasm]

I suppose if a world leader is incapable of taking billions of dollars from the Saudis for no reason (rrrriiiiiiiiiiigght) whatsoever, it's the American can-do attitude that will find a way!

I don't know either, it seems like there is no doubt whatsoever that he should be disqualified, and I'd like to sit Garland down in a darkened room somewhere and have a little discussion about false pretense to neutrality that only benefits the offender - and the application of actual laws.

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!!!!!!

I wonder how much that cost the horde.

I wonder if Toad actually thinks that makes them even.

I wonder who he thinks he's going to convince.

From the comments to New York magazine's post on the accidental (or "accidental") posting of the charges against Trump in Fulton County GA:
(One commenter posed the question; the other provided the answer.)

Q: How do you keep a 320-pound snowflake from melting before trial?

A: Put it in the cooler.

Stick a pin in this: Rep Raskin was on This Week yesterday saying that Trump had accepted millions in emoluments and that they are investigating it.

Finally!

Indictment in Georgia!

10 indictments. They haven't said who or what yet.

The clerk is marching through the halls. Big stack of indictments in her hands.
