When did Big Ears get his law license back after it was relinquished, for unnamed reasons?

"Did he lease it from the government? "

No...but, the government did issue him a peanut growing allotment.

This is horze sheet. With one letter he assigns it to his kids.

If I was any of the signatories of the letter in question, I would not be starting a pizzing contest with The Donald.

There won’t be one of them that could pass a full IRS audit, and Trump “hits back.”

With the Utah AG now going after Harry Reed for the $2,000,000 internet gambling interests bribe, they should all read the handwriting on the wall.

On Dec. 8, the deputy commissioner of GSA, from which Trump Old Post Office LLC leases the historic Old Post Office Pavilion, told the lawmakers’ representatives "that Mr. Trump must divest himself not only of managerial control, but of all ownership interest as well

Trump has kids and many of the very best lawyers working for him. Divesting this should be far less of a challenge for Trump than for most of us to buy a gallon of house paint at Home Depot with a credit card.

Filburn shows that Jimmah (Piss be upon Him) was deeply engaged in interstate commerce.

“Why don’t we go after these people for all their illegality and stop messing around......”

They’re pushing for it aren’t they.

Obama: Come on Trump! I’m jealous because you’re starting your presidency as a billionaire. You’ll never be a “man of the people” like me because you won’t be forced to make your shady millions while in office like me.

If Hitlery can sell access to the SoS office, Trump can do anything he damned well pleases.

I think that Trump can find some dirt on 0bama after Jan. 20. Start with his SS# and go from there.

You can’t play nice with these guys ever!

Trump signed the lease. It's a standard clause in every GSA lease.

The solution is to spin the hotel off to a separate company and make Don, Jr. and Eric the sole owners. Trump is out of the loop. He realizes no benefits, financial or otherwise, from the hotel. Ivanka can continue to work with him while he's president since she realizes no benefit either. And presto, the lease isn't violated.

Could they wait to start snarking until he has his press conference and explains what he intends to do with his holdings?

I’m sure his lawyers are aware of what the lease says.

According to Alinsky, the “issue” is never the issue. This furthers a fake meme that Trump is illegitimate. I expect this will be the breathless lead by the usual media suspects, until they can float another fake meme.

Is Joe Biden getting money from leasing a Delaware house to the Secret
Service?

Seems pretty simple for Trump to transfer assets to his kids

Jimmy Carter didn't lease his peanut farm from the GSA.
