THOUGHTS FROM AN INDEPENDENT:
I honestly don't have an answer, but would like to hear from someone with a law degree on this, It seems Trump's sales pitch about the next G7 summit, and a number of his past actions are pretty clear violations of Emoluments law (see link below), but - I don't see any legal backlash here, in fact Donald Trump seems to be skating through this Emoluments situation much like John Gotti, the teflon Don. So, I'm wondering - Are Emoluments laws really enforceable? or are these just old blue laws such as reg's against spitting on the sidewalk? Democrats are crying foul, and the GOP says "no big deal"
Any thoughts?
