[LetMyPeopleVote]

I have no doubt that TFG stole a ton of gifts given to the office of POTUS. TFG is a compulsive crook and would treat such gifts as gift to himself

House Democrats are investigating former President Donald Trump's "apparent failure to account for gifts from foreign government officials while in office" after learning there may be thousands of dollars-worth of items that are either missing or were not tracked properly, according to a new letter sent to the National Archives by the House Oversight and Reform Committee chairwoman and first obtained by CNN.

The committee says it has received information from the State Department that "indicates the Trump administration 'did not prioritize this obligation' and failed to comply with the law that governs foreign gift reporting during President Trump's final year in office," the letter states.

"As a result, the foreign sources and monetary value of gifts President Trump received remain unknown," it adds. "The Department of State also stated that it was unable to determine the identities of some government officials who received foreign gifts during the Trump Administration, as well as the sources of those foreign gifts."

The Oversight Committee is now requesting information from the National Archives about the foreign gifts that Trump and members of his family received during the former President's term.

1. I'm sure that he did steal the stuff. And The Consequences Will Be?

Zero. Zippo. Zilch.

Unless and until this asshole is impoverished or imprisoned, he will not stop criming.

5. The thing about consequences I have learned is sometimes you have to wait a bit, and

in the case of criminal trial and conviction it can be quite a bit more than Twitter justice.

6. Thank you for the reminder

I think he will ultimately have consequences for his terrible crimes.

I just don't think this would have any serious penalties attached to it. Kind of like stealing classified documents from the WH.

The entire administration scoffed at things like the Hatch Act.

His entire life can be captioned thus:

"SO SUE ME!"

9. Yes, but never said Indict Me and Send Me to Criminal Trial!

2. tRump "Come on. What Rethuglican records their bribes? You think I'm a newb?" nt

3. Trump went on a crime spree while in the WH.

He knew no-one would stop him, and there would be no consequences.

4. Turns out that the wealthy and powerful are just on a honor system.

Either there are no laws governing their behavior, or if there are laws, they can be ignored with impunity.

7. Oh, no. Did they take the china like they alleged HRC and Bill did? nt

8. Most presidents end up with a presidential library because they can't keep the gifts

There has been zero talk of a Trump presidential library. So it's sort of obvious he personally looted the place.
