Democratic lawmakers are suing President Donald Trump over foreign money flowing into his global business empire.
Almost 200 senators and representatives are plaintiffs in a lawsuit alleging Trump is violating the so-called emoluments clause of the Constitution. It's being filed early Wednesday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the lawmakers said.
The plaintiffs argue they have standing to sue because the clause says only Congress may approve foreign gifts and payments.....

This has got to end. What has happened to this country? How did we reach this level of corruption? The Democrats are using the Federal agencies and the courts to run the country to their corrupt benefit. This MUST end.
Good thing they can use their lawsuit against the Clinton Foundation as a precedent.
“Paying to stay at a resort of hotel is a gift?”
Good point. But to Demonrats, words mean whatever they want them to mean.
It appears that way. Day after day; week after week it gets worse and worse.
This is nothing but an insurrection and treason.
Causing problems by any shameless means possible.
Sounds like a “community organizer” was involved......
#2. Re “200 Morons”. You’re too kind.
200 FAKE Politicians and lunatic political whores.
Sounds like the stuff they used against Palin.
Whoops the ping didn’t work as hoped - let’s try again

Perhaps it’s more accurate to say that the MSM is using the Democrats to control Federal agencies and courts to run the country to their corrupt benefit. The excessive rage seems centered on the MSM - the media can’t accept that they were voted out of office and they won’t stop acting like Soviet era state media (i.e., The Pravda) because they aspire to regain power by any means necessary, and that includes civil wars, coups etc.
23 minute audio from 6 June, repeated 13 June. more of the never-ending anti-Trump propaganda from the BBC.
beginning at about 15mins til the end. Sullivan on Clinton email server. also say Nate Silver, premier statistician in the US, said Comey announcing re-opening investigation into Clinton was the difference between her winning and losing the election. at about 18mins 40secs onwards, Badawi repeatedly says the media is taking the lead in opposing Trump. that the media is the opposition.
Sullivan says Dems are doing plenty as regards Trump Admin corruption re China?? and Russia, mentions PACs etc.
AUDIO: 13 Jun: BBC Hardtalk: US Democratic Party Insider - Jake Sullivan
Zeinab Badawi speaks to US Democratic Party insider Jake Sullivan, a key adviser to senior Democrats, including Hillary Clinton when she was Secretary of State as well as on the campaign trail last year. President Trump has attracted a lot of criticism at home and abroad over his rhetoric and style of leadership... http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p054y22t
So George Washington was violating the constitution when he exported goods or let a (foreign) traveler pay for lodging or dock fees?
Who knew?
As it should be. Politics is supposed to be a type of or substitute for war.
Our judicial system is a political institution too.
Methinks "blind trust" means something different from your understanding of the term. The only way to "blind trust" Trump's past is to divest everybody in his family from every business interest that Trump has. Isn't going to happen, and shouldn't happen.
Check out the business interests operated by members of Congress. Talk about massive conflicts of interest! Some of them have substantial ties to foreign sales too. Hypocrites.
This is coming from people who pad their pockets and become millionaires through corruption in government and that happens on both sides.
The Dims think President Trump will fold like Governor Palin did.
If the Pubs were an opposing party, they would pass loser pays law. Frivolous suits like this would vanish.
Projectionism
They get elected broke and walk out with millions that they don’t earn . He needs to turn it around and investigate them all . They are all dirty and since they opened the door he needs to take advantage of the opportunity they just gave him by being jackasses .
The congress critters use their position in government to make very favorable deals for their businesses, aka crony capitalism. Trump is simply running his business--letting his son run the business--the same way it has always been run. Unlike the Feinsteins and Pelosis, he did not need or use political favors to get rich.

They have been doing this kind of stuff in secret for a long time , now they just can’t contain themselves enough to hide it anymore . He needs to fire tons of people .
Silly stunts. That’s all the Democrats are and can do. Remember all their complaints are not to win something it’s to grind down the clock.
The Dems are using taxpayer funds to wage a political jihad.
