Barr is holding a party at Trump’s hotel

This is corrupt. Is it legal? I hope someone challenges it. This is why Trump should have gotten rid of his businesses. If he didn’t want to do it, he should not have run for president.

This feels like Barr giving a big middle finger to everyone who values the independence & integrity of DOJ. 🤯 https://t.co/uHZUCSzzMr

Are you joking?

Trump is spending 2.5 times as many days playing golf as Obama did.

Trump’s golf costs are 3 times as much as Obama’s — because Trump insists on playing at his own courses in Florida and New Jersey.
— S.V. Dáte (@svdate) July 28, 2019

By my count, Trump has spent the equivalent of two-and-a-half months "working" at Bedminster. While there, he can slip off and play golf without reporters knowing, so it's safe to assume that some of his work is on his handicap.https://t.co/M4iggy6Om2

Trump remains at his golf course in New Jersey today.

Did Trump stop the relocation of the FBI headquarters

It would hurt his hotel if the current building was replaced by a competing hotel. Finally, there is an investigation of this potential corruption. This could be another example of Trump helping himself through the power of his office. Sad!

DOJ approves foreign government payoffs to Trump

This is the opposite of what their policy should be. No president should be making money off foreign governments.

The Department of Justice — for the first time since the founding of our Country — gives the green light to foreign government payoffs despite the very clear language in the Constitution.
Pathetic.https://t.co/Aa1Vnk7qZH
— Richard W. Painter (@RWPUSA) April 11, 2019

from the article linked to above:
“Clark’s article notes that in more than 50 legal opinions over some 150 years justice department lawyers have interpreted the clause in a way that barred any foreign payments or gifts except for ones Congress approved. But filings by the department since June 2017 reveal a new interpretation that “… would permit the president – and all federal officials – to accept unlimited amounts of money from foreign governments, as long as the money comes through commercial transactions with an entity owned by the federal official,” the professor writes.”

Up is down, and unlimited foreign emoluments are now all gravy. https://t.co/mi9ev2yqMs
