Trump will face unprecedented ethics decisions

[nat4900]

This should be "fun"to watch.....

There are two main legal issues he would have to avoid, ethics experts say: traditional prosecution under government bribery laws and a little-noticed provision in the Constitution known as the emoluments clause, which prohibits U.S. officials from taking money from foreign sources without the consent of Congress. If Trump committed an official act in exchange for a financial reward from another person or company, he could open himself up to prosecution or impeachment. Prosecutors would be called upon to demonstrate a quid pro quo relationship between a specific act and a material gain for the Trump organization. That probe could be conducted by Congress or as a criminal investigation within his Justice Department, where it might prompt the appointment of a special prosecutor.

With a web of foreign business interests extending from Azerbaijan to Panama, Trump could find that the most minor contractual renewal turns into a new reason for concern. Even Trump’s oft-touted status as landlord to the Bank of China in Trump Tower could place him in jeopardy, if, for example, the state-backed bank agreed to pay above-market-rate rents in the future

Trump could remove these potential conflicts by selling his business empire and placing the proceeds in a blind trust.

It didn't stop Hillary and what's the evidence Trump has taken anything for an official act? He isn't in office yet and liberal hysteria doesn't count as a legitimate source. It serves as comedy and entertainment, nothing more.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

He's already showing how filthy he is and how his "presidency" will be.

Went to foreign countries for money to get elected, Pooting, several examples of pay for play,spying, more conflicts of interest than we can count, flip-flopped and lied and backed down on most of his "promises" and so much more.

There's no doubt that he will make Reagan look clean.

Much ado about nothing.

Their hysteria is like PMS!

I find it funny as hell that Trump is pimping his DC hotel to visiting diplomats.

Almost as much fun as his "press conference" where he did a 45 min commercial for his products, then spent 45 seconds on saying that he believes Obama was born in the US.

You stupid mother fuckers just can't learn can ya? Providing market priced consumer level goods and services is not fucking bribery. Why didn't you assholes investigate who jimma carter was selling his peanuts to. There is no law requiring Trump to cease doing business as he did prior to being elected. The founders would be laughing their asses off at you fucking commiecrats grasping for any little straw you can find, they intended a citizen government, basically all of them had a business of one form or another, they didn't bankrupt themselves in the name of government service. You petty little pantie wastes just need to STFU!

 

[whitehall]

Ronald Reagan had such reverence for the Oval Office that he never took off his suit jacket and Bill Clinton not only took off his suit jacket but dropped his freaking pants. That's the right-left ethics issue in a freaking nutshell.

I simply LOVE being on the attack and there'll be TONS of reasons to do so.....

The orange clown will have to have an army of lawyers defending his every move.

Prove what I said is wrong or STFU. This is the at least the 4th thread on the same goddamn subject, the mods should be locking or combining them.

Because it was for a charity....

BUT YOU AND TRUMP WERE MAJORLY CONCERNED....

so much so that you shouted LOCK HER UP at every turn and posted all kinds of lying bullcrap about the ethic of the situation with them and the charity....

TRUMP'S situation is much much much worse and much more involved and complicated and HE is the one who benefits in his own pocket off of the PRESIDENCY WHILE BEING President....


He needs to DIVEST HIMSELF completely from Trump LTD as EVERY SINGLE PRESIDENT in our HISTORY has done, while sitting in the oval office.

PERIOD.

He must do this, or he will be tied up in ethics hearings his whole presidency and will NOT get anything accomplished that you wanted him to accomplish.

Lots of speculation there while ignoring the fact that state dept. employees were working for her "charitable" foundation and surprisingly gaining access to our government. LOL.

The main beneficiary of that "charity" was the Clinton family. Was Chelsea's wedding a charity event?

Every single president hasn't divested himself from his business. Did Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm?

There won't be any such hearings so long as Republicans are in the majority.

had Hillary become president and owned hotels and golf courses, etc.....then, YES, I'd be concerned if she did not divest.......So, suck it up, Finger-baby
