Sen. Blumenthal insists President Trump is breaking the law
WTNH ^

Posted on 06/20/2017 6:35:06 PM PDT by matt04

Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal is continuing to hammer President Trump.

At a news conference on Tuesday, with a copy of the Constitution in hand, Blumenthal reiterated that Mr. Trump is blatantly breaking the law by refusing to give up ownership of his organization.

“The bottome line is, we have no clue who most of the investors and partners of Donald Trump around the world. We have no accurate or complete knowledge of all those payments and benefits because he has made no disclosure,” said Blumenthal.

I guess Sen. Skelator, who lied about serving in Vietnam for political gain, was too busy running for the nearest camera to investigate the Clinton Foundation.

The deep state and their front men like the useless Senator are building a case for a permanent ruling class in this country. If they have their way, no one who is self employed, self sufficient and independent of the state can run for or be elected to office; we can’t tell where their money comes from. Communist excrement.

From his own words:

He doesn’t know something so that equates to President Trump breaking the law. Bet there’s a lot he doesn’t know.

I “insist” that this creep resign within the hour. He is an embarrassment to any one of any integrity.

Before Trump all the Democratics had was Gun Control, Abortion, Global Warming.

Look how President Trump has expanded even the Democratics horizons!

They owe him a lot.

What gain is it when you sit in a gilded chair in the middle of ruins?

What a steaming pantload. There has never been a requirement that a president divest from all his business interests. Starting with George Washington.

This Stolen Valor a**wipe should be neutered publicly with a pair of bolt-cutters. Volunteers form a line.

You see this fool missed it. When Trump held his press BEFORE the inauguration, he was detailing how he was transferring his businesses out of his name EVEN THOUGH BY LAW HE DOESN’T HAVE TO. His business lawyer gave all the details.

Of course the press missed most of this, because they were too busy asking about Russia.

Blumenthal should have a press conference holding a constitution in one hand and a Bible in the other.I want to see which hand smokes the worst.

Sen Murphy (D-CT) is worse. One of his staffers once told me I was reading from a NRA press release trying to slander him. I told them the title of the press release form his own website. I got called a asshole and got hung up on.

Also once got someone who kept using terms law, regulations and amendment interchangeably. I asked for clarification on what she was talking about. The idiot actually told me they just graduated from a New Haven HS and were “mores educated than yous” and hung up on me.

Did George Washington give up Mount Vernon to be President?

Show me where it says in the Constitution that an American businessman can’t be president because he’s successful? Or that a businessman has to liquidate his entire life holdings to even be eligible to run for office?

How loud can the elitists scream that a common man isn’t welcome in the capitol?

Well, move over lawyers’ club. Sit down ivy league. The Deplorables are in town now and we’re in charge. So run along, Blumenthal, and go work on your district’s obesity problem to appease Chelsea like a good little boy.

Blumenthal reiterated that Mr. Trump is blatantly breaking the law by refusing to give up ownership of his organization.

Well, that is good enough for me, I demand Every Last Member of Congress immediately sell EVERY ASSET they own, then be barred from acquiring any asset’s for ten years hence.
