The Department of Justice (DOJ) has Adopted a Narrow Interpretation of a Law meant to Bar Foreign Interests from Corrupting Federal Officials, giving Saudi Arabia, China, and other Countries leeway to Curry Favor with President Trump via Deals with his Hotels, Condos, Trademarks, and Golf Courses, Legal and National Security Experts say.
Basically the DOJ is changing over 150 years of Precedent to Allow Trump and his Businesses to Receive Money from Foreign Governments.
We now have a DOJ Bought and Paid for by our Taxes Working for Trump, and following Trump’s Attorneys Bidding:
The Justice Department Stance now closely Parallels Arguments made in a January 2017 Position Paper by Trump Organization Lawyer Sheri Dillon and several of her Law Partners.
On January 11th 2017, just days before he was Sworn In, Dillon said Trump isn’t accepting any Payments in his “official capacity” as President, as the Income is only Related to his Private Business. “Paying for a hotel room is not a gift or a present, and it has nothing to do with an office,” Dillon said.
Sounds like Trump’s “private capacity” as a Business Owner is in Direct Conflict with his “Public Capacity” as President, at least in Terms Comprehended when considering the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution. He either must Vacate the Office of President or Resolve the Conflict by getting Completely Out of these Businesses that create the Conflict. Seems like a simple Choice: does he want to continue being the “part time” President of the U.S. or does he want to continue being the Full Time Owner of his Businesses.
When did Congress Change the Constitutional Emoluments Clause when I wasn't looking?
The Foreign Clause requires Congress to Approve Each Payment:
Only explicit congressional consent validates such exchanges.
