... Plenty of Fodder for Criminal Investigations


quote:
President Trump’s company charges the Secret Service for the rooms agents use while protecting him at his luxury properties — billing U.S. taxpayers at rates as high as $650 per night, according to federal records and people who have seen receipts.

Those charges, compiled here for the first time, show that Trump has an unprecedented — and largely hidden — business relationship with his own government.

When Trump visits his clubs in Palm Beach, Fla., and Bedminster, N.J., the service needs space to post guards and store equipment.
Trump’s company says it charges only minimal fees. But Secret Service records do not show that.

All I can say is they better have an air-tight case before trying to prosecute anyone.

I'm discouraged that anything will be prosecuted at all regardless of who is in power.

Why? I want every one of those fuckers nailed to the wall. How do we put a stop to corruption if there are no consequences?

I think the Democrats did all they could. They just hold 1/2 of one of the three branches of government and the tRumpublicans seem to function without shame...

Hmm.

I think they could have impeached on other/ different 'high crimes and misdemeanors'. Also, I think the result was a foregone conclusion and a political disaster.

I'm not trying to be contrary, Ron. That's just my opinion.

Sometimes, you do what's right, even if what's right is going to cost you.

We celebrate it when John McCain or Mitt Romney steps up to the plate, even if they didn't, or don't, every time they should. We need to be prepared to do so ourselves.

This was the right thing to do.

+!
Now is the time for the Dems to increase the number and intensity of their investigations.
