2. The next article of impeachment?

This would be a good article to bring - it's simple to understand, very concrete and tangible, and clearly a violation of the emoluments clause.

I've long thought that the emoluments issues were ones that should be pushed - except too many of our Congress-critters would get stung by them!

Then sits on his lap and does her 'Daddy Grind', and everything is magically taken care of. I think Ivanka is getting a little old for Daddy now though, isn't she? She's 38 now, and that's pushing Donald's upper limit.

He didn't know they were going to watch every little thing he did. He didn't think he would win the election and the money transfer wouldn't have raised an eyebrow. Even after taking office, he didn't know every dime would have to be accounted for. That's not how he did business all his life. Besides, they all do it! Yeah, that's the ticket! What about Hillary's emails!! Squirrel!!!

Move over Sean Hannity.

They would have impeached Obama when the first political dollar was spent there.

It could uncover more High Crimes and Emoluments violations. Just wish Barr wasn't corruptly preventing investigations.
