Howard Dean: Trump is running a 'criminal enterprise out of the White House'
The Hill ^ | 12/27/2017 | REBECCA SAVRANSKY

Posted on 12/27/2017 11:06:26 AM PST by dirtboy

Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said President Trump is "running a criminal enterprise" out of the White House.

During a segment an MSNBC host said Trump is "constantly vacationing to promote his own properties."

"The promotion is extraordinary. There hasn't been a president in my lifetime that's done anything like this," Dean said in response.

"In the beginning, the constitutional business about the emoluments clause, which is you're not supposed to take foreign money to influence your policy, it didn't bother me, I thought it was a far-flung argument — I'm not an attorney."

But Dean said it is clear that Trump or his staff are "shaking down foreign governments who have moved their events to his hotel in Washington at somebody's request in order to get favors."

Gee, ScreamBoy, you’re outta date.

The gangster guy was the Crip dude from South Chicago, and he lives down the street now.

Trump’s just the adult we hired to replace him.

"I thought it was a far-flung argument — I'm not an attorney."

So what, in your addled brain, produced the thought that you were qualified to accuse the President this go round?

Graft, blackmail, and corruption are approved democrat tactics. Trump staying at his own properties is not.

"I think he's running a criminal enterprise out of the White House and I think that's what Bob Mueller's on the track of," Dean said.

Really? Because I thought it was supposed to be Russia, Russia, Russia.

The Clintons “selling” the Lincoln bedroom was OKAY, Howard? I think if you look up “RICO criminal enterprise” in the dictionary, a synonym pops up as “The Clinton Global Initiative”.

That has pretty well summed it up over the last few years.

It seemed that way at times before that, but now it seems as if they reach far into their souls on about every issue to out themselves with each new charge against Trump.

Howard needs to spend some up close and personal time with the Clintons if he wants an education on criminal enterprises...
