George W. Bush's Ethics Lawyer: Trump Will Be in Violation of Constitution on Day One
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 гру 2016
- democracynow.org - Could Donald Trump be in violation of the Constitution on his first day in office? That’s the conclusion of some leading constitutional law experts. The Constitution prohibits officeholders from accepting "any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state." Law experts say many of Trump’s businesses are already benefiting from his presidency. Kuwait, for example, recently moved its National Celebration Day from the Four Seasons in Georgetown to the Trump International Hotel instead. According to ThinkProgress, Kuwait faced political pressure from the Trump camp to move the location. Other diplomats have reportedly been urged to hold events at Trump’s hotel. Trump and his family also have holdings or projects in Argentina, Brazil, Georgia, India, Ireland, Japan, Philippines and Turkey. In addition, Trump’s businesses owe hundreds of millions of dollars to foreign banks, including Deutsche Bank, UBS and Bank of China. We speak to Richard Painter, professor of corporate law at the University of Minnesota. He was the chief White House ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush from February 2005 to July 2007.

It's ironic to hear "ethics" and "George Bush" in the same sentence. 💚
John MuirsGrand and the Trumptards deflection continues on. you guys will throw the country under the bus to maintain your racist values.
Atir X Your use of the stem "tard" is offensive and judgemental. For your information, I voted for Jill Stein as she was the only one at the time showing progressive American values. time for you to be open minded enough to critically research your own candidates before you support or continue to blindly support your "party". Best to you. 💚
John MuirsGrand Jill rocks! She was the only politician who sent to Standing Rock! She has guts and morals.
What's ironic is that I used to think I'd never miss George Bush.
I don't want him back, TY.
LETS MAKE AMERICA SMART AGAIN.... end the republicans party
By, realizing… there is NO difference between the parties! left wing, right wing, same bird ,same shit…
The real separation is, politicians, policy and we the people
Geo sab We made America great again by decimating the Democrats!
Either you're taking credit for something you did not do, or by default your statement makes you a Democrat . you look and sound like Debbie Wasserman Schultz
Fiona Rotten apple When I say we I'm talking about Community leaders and Christians banning together To vote for Donald J Trump! I happen to be both. Sorry no comparison to that women!
sherryelebeauty The community leaders and Christians I know are banding together, to protect our community! Everyone with eyes to see and ears to hear can recognize the devil when we see him. You can have your Satanist Trump, just not as prez.
Look at 2Thess.2:9-12
Strong delusion!
it is criminal. quit saying conflicts, these are crimes.
Rodferro, Hillary was a terrible candidate, which is why she lost. Thats over a month ago though, its irrelevant. Hold Donald accountable for what he says and does.
hey hipocrite where were you bitching about the clinton foundation? asshholes
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Well, there's no such thing as "crime of interest." "Conflict of interest" is simply the name and nature of the crime.
Prof. Painter made his points fairly and calmly, whether the facts pertinent to the questions favored Trump or not.
I hadn't even thought about how a foreign government might have to protect a Trump property--and how that could violate the Emoluments Clause. Sure, he's free to twist a foreign power's arm to move an event to his own hotel NOW, but will he know to stop before Jan. 20?
If he fails to stop, will a Republican House impeach him, and will a Republican Senate convict and remove him?
Darling, you are obvious in need of education - please don't speak further until you do. You are embarrassing.
Trump will not be divesting any of his businesses, He will maintain them as normal. He will ignore whatever the Constitution says, he will ignore whatever lawyers say. Haven't we learnt anything yet?
Philster; I hope you Americans have learned what happens when you don't take the power of one vote seriously. He won't get away with a damn thing if you folks understand what happens when good people stand by and do nothing. People used to march in the street or at least demand that papers print retractions on the front page. Support those fighting on the front lines-even with a simple email of encouragement. And for goodness sake read books, mags and web pages that are out of your comfort zone. Then follow the money.
jmmacb03 Unfortunately immac, we are about to enter a new dark age. The age of Facism finally hits America. Trump will ignore the Constitution. He will trample over whatever rights the people have. There is not much we can do apart from immigrate. We have not learned. We had no model to go by other than history And since we are two generations away from WW2, none of us have any living memory. The survivors are nearly all gone.
And the typical Merican reinforces failure to absurd extremes.
Who's gonna stop him? Nobody has stopped him yet.
philster611
the Trumpers are always threatened civil war....well they may just get it....and I dought Trump and his family make it though it alive
Lady pilliwick They will get far worse than civil war. Nuclear war more lily. Then Trump will have to be brought to answer for crimes against humanity.
Ethics lawyer for George W. Bush sounds like an oxymoron to me
Requ1escat1nPACE lmao, seconded. I hope this guy called out dick Cheney
There's a reason conflict of interest itself is not barred to Presidents: since the President presides over the whole country, a conflict is unavoidable, and NOBODY could be President.
That's why it'll take a violation of the Emoluments Clause (which is essentially the same thing but with a foreign power) to bring Trump down. Prof. Painter makes a good case that such a violation is VERY likely.
America is the laughing stock of the world!!
caesar hernandez by whom in particular ?
+caesar hernandez We don't support that orange clown ..just face it
Let me guess you wear trendy nerd glasses eat gmo's and drink fluoride.Not my president safe space hot coco play doe therapy dog coloring books the walking dead is real
AMERICANS ARE NOW HATED ALL OVER THE WORLD, BECAUSE OF TRUMP.BEWARE TO BE VISITING OTHER COUNTRIES SPECIALLY EUROPE, SOUTH AMERICA, AFRICA, ASIA.MIDDLE EAST. YOU ARE NOW TARGETS,YOU ARE NOW NOT RESPECTED AS AMERICAN BLINDED .IDIOTS VOTING FOR TRUMP..
OBAMA WAS AWARDED NOBEL PEACE PRIZE, BEGINNING OF HIS PRESIDENCY AFTER WAR MONGER BUSH(REPUBLICAN YOUR PARTY). OBAMA IS RESPECTED ALL OVER THE WORLD. GO VISIT OTHER COUNTRIES , YOU WILL REALIZE TRUMP HAS NO RESPECT THEY HATED THIS WAR MONGER, NATO ,UN HATERS,CHINESE HATERS, SOUTHEAST ASIAN HATERS.MUSLIM HATERS, YOU CAN NOT BE PROUD TO BE AMERICAN. YOU ARE SHAMED. SAW ALL RALLIES AROUND THE WORLD WHEN TRUMP WAS ELECTED,? NEVER HAPPENED EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD , OTHER COUNTRIES, DISAPPROVING THIS BIGOT, IGNORAMUS, NARCISSISTIC, MISOGYNIST, ATHEIST WHOSE GOD IS MONEY, FAKE, PUSSY GRABBER,ORANGUTAN ORANGE HAIR, VOCABULARY DEFICIENT , "TREMENDOUS"" DISASTER" MANIPULATOR, FLIP FLOP PINOCCHIO, INCORRIGIBLE LIAR. UGLY ,FAT WHEW! STILL PROUD?
caesar hernandez Revered and respected? I don't know what you've been smoking, but the world leaders see him as a joke, and they will eat him alive. The only people who fear him are women and girls, because he's a sexual predator. He's a horrible business man, and that's supposed to be his strong suit! He wasn't elected, he was selected, because he's easily controlled. He's weak and base. He will either be impeached, or hopefully, convicted of treason.
For some reason I find myself remembering that Al Capone was finally put in prison not for being a racketeer and murderer, but for tax evasion.
KarlBunker Yes, the government at the time created a law that criminals can declared their illegal incomes. There were so many criminals during the Roaring 20s, Stock Market Crash 1929 and the Great Depression on top of big unemployment. Al Capone's arrogance and greed is what lead to his downfall believing he was untouchable.
they allowed him to run the city from prison too
Eric eric True but by the time Capone was released from prison he was deranged. I read some where it was vd (syphilis) that done him in.
yep i think that was it
I TOTALLY AGREE, SO WITH TRUMP HIS WATERLOO IS NOT ONLY TAX EVASION, MANY WINDOWS, OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPEACHMENT "$CONFLICT OF INTEREST $" IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH. YAY1111
God help us from this guy
Music For The People you're being brain washed, you're not the only one. He will be president however and America will be in a much better place. Can't stop this no matter how hard they try. Good bye shadow government with paying off protesters, media control, social engineering.
+Lostcaves
You're brainwashed you twit. You just don't know it yet. You Trumpites are weak, insecure idiots like Trump who can't handle any criticism of the 4.5 million dollar man.
Baron Fritz Von Shlitz - Idiocracy alert. Go back to your toilet chair. Oh wait.
Sure. What you said really make sense. Idiotic conservaturd.
Who would have thought to hear the 'ethics lawyer of G.W. Bush' to be saying in essence the same as 'democracy now'? lol
We live in interesting times!
pcuimac that's because 2 noble journalist came out if retirement and have already built cases on private armies used even agsinst americsns, wmd sales andnuse ALL OVER OIL...AND GOLD AND PEDOPHILLIA. T HE TREASON AND CORRUPTION CENTERS ON COMEY...AND HIS PART OVER THR LAST 20 YEARS...
Look at that table of billionaire "common" people in that "drained" swamp 9:05! WTF!!! This is the end...
Trump’s 17 current Cabinet picks are worth more than over 42 million households put together. Trump is EVERYTHING he accused Clinton of being .
Like "military intelligence," I am inclined more and more to think that the term "American culture" is also an oxymoron.
Is that a positive or a negative?
I don't quite follow, are you talking about the death of so many pop stars in 2016? Are you talking moral meltdown? What do you consider "pop"? Are you talking about the erosion of traditional values? Your comments are very cryptic and don't seem to contain a defined premise.
I agree totally. Youngsters today often do not even have the attention span to get through a movie. Personally, I am a classical music lover and live a quiet, conservative (not referring to politics or religion) life. So I do not follow these pop icons as to me they represent the decay of society. Without this decay we could have never gotten to Trump vs. Clinton. If you are anything like me I think we are definitely in the minority. Sad.
Impeach him!
Movie Nerd YES!
#impeachtrump
#notmypresident
#grassyknoll
Lady J Well said Lady.
Nothing's going to happen! He's a bully and they are afraid of him...
John Hillman all the politicians are afraid of him...republicans and democrats....chickens
Not afraid of him! I will spit on his face if I have a chance!
He's completely out of his depth, a champion of trailer trash. His supporters are clueless and vote against their own interests.
Luther James I don't know who "they" are, but world leaders see him as a joke. The average person see him as a joke. The only people afraid of him are the women and girls he had preyed on. This man is disgusting.
miapdx Portland they are American politicians...they are all pussies for letting him get as far as he has...he shoulda never been nominated...look at all the BS he's done that no other person would not have gotten away with what he has...and the dumbass voters that voted for him...he's a piece of shit
It's Bush lawyer who say this ? Seriously ?
Member when you backed bush tooth and nail like you do trump?
louise smith Well stated.
I DID NOT, I KNEW THEN JUST LIKE I DO NOW , YOU PEOPLE WILL GO TO HELL FOR SUPPORTING THE CRIMINALS, YOUR HEADS WILL ROLE WHEN THIS CRIMINALS GET POWER TO DO IT
Now everyone knows why Trump didn't release his taxes
Will trump be impeached?
+ Rachel Impeached for what? He hasn't even been sworn in. The GOP controls Congress and they won't impeach him even if does screw up. This is all just partisan claptrap from the left. Take it with a grain of salt.
You need to do more than just impeach Trump if you want him removed as POTUS The president remains in office even if they are impeached. Only upon conviction by the senate will they be removed, in which case the next
eligible person in the line of succession will become president (this
will normally be the vice president).
Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson are the only two presidents ever impeached and neither were convicted. Nixon may have been convicted had he not resigned. The senate requires a two thirds majority to convict which is a rather high bar.
Tellthetruth n/a Even if he does screw up, is the hook word. And you still think this is the left crap? Wow, says a lot about you Trump supporters, doesn't it. Just like I've been saying, the Trump supporters doesn't care how messed up trump is, all they care/cared about was winning the election for their republican side (since the democrats won twice in a 4 terms election) and for the white man side (since a black man was chief and commander over white men). They just had to win. You could have put pee wee Herman against Hillary, and they would have chosen pee wee Herman, because they needed to make a white man great again. Sad, but truth.
+ rachel probably not,until year three when the Dems. take over
+ rachel probably not,until year three when the Dems. take over
of course the press conference was canceld. he is trying to aviod press conferences with all his mite
It's because he is a moron and doesn't want to expose the fact he knows nothing.
cmon trump, give us all a good laugh and do a press conference
I would love to see a serious, respected journalist get Trump alone and interview him. Oh boy! Sadly Trump preempted that potential scenario by discrediting journalism and reportage during the election process. Now he can refuse any invitation, to interview, based on his position that everybody but him is bad and dishonest. Get ready for four years of reprisal tweets and not a single direct question answered. America is literally not going to know what hit it. His public relations team will maintain their (no doubt generously rewarded) function as 'chaff' ('I don't know if he said that." "If he said that he must have had a good reason." "I can't speak for him." "HILLARY CLINTON'S HUSBAND!!"). You're never going to get anywhere near anything substantive without putting Donald Trump on trial and is there anybody left, capable of accomplishing that, who isn't on his payroll?
They'll squeal like little piggies when he doesn't pay them.
yep, lets ban freedom of speech. just what trump wants!
if you ask a rich person how much money they need. they will tell you. one dollar more. . so sad. ..
A republican can't enjoy a meal unless he knows someone else is starving.
louise smith Obama has already achieved that!
louise smith That's ironic since every study statistically republicans give more to charity than democrats, hmmm.... I guess the you would prefer not to help directly, you'll leave that to the government, got it!
It's ironic that GW Bush's ethics lawyer is critiquing Trump's constitutional violations.
Standard operating procedure for a pirate
SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN! The guy has gone BANKRUPT 6 times. Nothing screams success like multiple bankruptcies.
Trump is in violation of the fundamental principles of being a decent human being, the errors of law are merely a way of dealing with this primary flaw
Hold on, I thought Trump was a failure?
J Michael Trump is a failure. He's highly leveraged with foreign banks. He has minority stakes in many of the businesses with his name. If he had not bungled his dad's inheritance he'd be a lot richer.
Get some education before speaking
WHAT YOU WISH FOR HIM YOU WILL GET FOR YOURSELF, YOU ARE THE ONE BLIND I KNOW THE TRUTH I LIVE WHEN THEY STARTED TO DO THEIR CRIMES SO GET A LIFE
Tax Returns
Dirty Don , Dirty Don ,
riding through the glen ,
Dirty Don Dirty Don ,
and his merry men ,
steals from the poor , gives to the rich ,
dirty don , dirty don , dirty don .
I want to see the tax returns!!!
Skyler Martin What do you mean legit? He already released that. He has nothing left to prove and he's not even president anymore.
He needs to be impeached January 21st PRONTO!
yes
The 20th! He can do a lot of damage with twitter when he's up all night with insomnia the night of the 20th.
STFU moron
What about the Bush's...?? CIA.. President... Governor...?? Business owners
What about, what about. WHAT ABOUT TRUMP. He's who we're dealing with right now, shit for brains.
louise smith the same ones you didn't deal with last time. Doing the same thing over expecting different results IS SHIT FOR BRAINS.
Wow. All I can say is it is about F-ing time someone investigated presidential conflicts of interest.
What does Paul Ryan mean when he says that Trump Hotel is Federally owned. Last I knew Trump owned the Hotel.
I think he's Leasing it from the Federal Gvmt. (It used to be a Post Office) so no, he doesn't own it.
The Feds own the land. Trump rents the land, and owns the hotel.
Mo0onShadoW It is leased to Trump
Well aren't you just a pretty picture of ignorance...
Trump`s a giant cluster fook.
po hillarie, she came, she saw, she collapsed..
not my president, ......jesus is not on our side.
lover - what it looks like is that you like perverts and liars .
Let me guess you wear trendy nerd glasses eat gmo's and drink fluoride.Not my president safe space hot coco play doe therapy dog coloring books the walking dead is real
Eric Cigler LMAO!
yeah sherry...see how you feel in about a year. eric cigler lmao too. kisses !
Where was Bush's ethic lower when Bush bombed civilians in Iraq?
Why on earth then is he getting into office??? This is ridiculous!!!
Tiny hands Tiny Brains
@ Naomi Scott:
COLOSSAL ego, with the ignorance to match!
Does anyone think that being an "ethics" lawyer for GW Bush is a screaming endorsement? Huh????
That is not the point. The point is even a conservative says trump could be impeached. It is called IRONY.
Yeah numbnuts!
Where the hell are people getting the idea Trump is/was a *Successful* businessman? So many bankruptcies, businesses going under, lawsuits....how is that in any way shape or form "successful"?
The very first thing she should have asked was, "what was your advice to Bush on torture and GitMo. Only after I hear that would I give a damn about what he thinks is ethical or a violation of the constitution.
Sadly, inspite of this situation with Trump and his business holding conflicting with his Presidency, no one will hold him accountable. The Electoral College turned a blind eye, the Supreme Court, and the Republican dominated Congress seem indifferent. What does this say about the nation and ourselves?
Hope this means a felony, not just impeachment ... I want him OUT. It would be better if Trump never takes office, 'cuz Pence would be Trouble, too.
Although Pence would be Trouble, too.
My grandpa was a small farmer who had little formal education but an abundance of common sense. Here are some of the saying he taught me to put me on the road to common sense. "Look at what a man has done before you believe what he says." "An old dog and an old man ain't gonna change their ways. So you gotta make do with what you got."
"You can't always be right. But when you're not, you've gotta make it right."
Will the Republicans impeach him over these violations?
Michelle de Vries Nope. He has both the House and the Senate. There is no chance he will be impeached.
All they have to do is say that he is "unable to fulfill his duties". They don't have to say he needs a psych evaluation. But then you'd have Pence deciding that you have to attend the funeral if you have an abortion-even if you have been raped by your father... Scary man.
NO , BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHER.
I don't get it. If this fool is so bad, why can't something be done about him.
He had already said he can do both. then faced with controversy backs off. that speaks volumes of his lack of vigilant priority of the immense responsibility of the office. It's a ego game. he will violate any ethics or personal boundary not called out. he is the definition of narcissitic personality disorder. It's not just a label. It's a contagious cancer upon anything it contacts. Yes we had two of the worst choices in history. we will now pay the price of the ignorance.
Says the man who successfully stopped Halliburton, Blackhawk and other no-bid contractors from profiting off policies enacted by direct stakeholders in those companies. Because, of course, to do so would be wildly unethical...
Oh, wait...
Trump had a great old time calling people he disliked "lightweights." Now he's going to show what a lightweight HE is. He's way over his head, and will soon prove it.
The sad part is , Nothing will be done about this and Trump knows it
"All of that 's got to stop!" Right. Is that word even in Trump's vocabulary?
Let's talk about the Clinton Foundation, and payments from foreign governments. Let's talk about that
Boy Bush and Ethics ------- PREPOSTEROUS
Doesn't matter one bit. It will still take Trump supporters four years to figure out what a horrible mistake they've made.
langer three this is true because they are dumb
Nothing is going to stop....Trump will do what ever he wants....period.....
All pretty vague. Who is going to ensure that drump follws the law and is held accountable when he's not?
supreme court and the voter will ensure it..just like with obama ..supreme court shut down obama 12 times and the voter ran just about every democrat across the country..
When A Person Hates Another Person, It's Difficult To Accept Whatever They Have To Say About That Other Person.
MyThoughts All you have to do is focus on the specifics. Motivation for pointing out criminal behavior, doesn't negate the criminal behavior.
Despicably Irascible Rapscallion Good Point! If They'd Only Do That Then Trust Would Be Easier.
So by that logic... if you don't like Hitler, and you tell me he did terrible things... I shouldn't listen.
Riiiiight.
Roper122 *WRONG!* It's A General Statement Made From Observational Experience. _If There Was Someone Who Say Disliked You, Would You Not Expect That Someone To Have A Negative Narrative About You Rather Than The Opposite?_
Well.. if you disliked Hitler, then I would expect you to have negative narrative, so I wouldn't trust you.
Also... have you ever wondered why someone is disliked?
I dislike child molesters, and I'm perfectly reasonable in doing that.
Simply dismissing criticism of someone like Trump is exactly what he wants you to do... hence his campaigns against the " lying ' media.
Sorry... but you are playing right into his hands.
Textbook Nepotism. Serious conflict of interest. He should release his tax returns, sell his business, pay selling taxes, and decide if his kids are on the cabinet or not, and only invite government of officials into meetings and no one else. Why is this so hard to understand?
How would one be able to impeach Trump? Explain this proces to me.
Wow George W Bush and "ethics" in the same sentence ....had todo a double take...
GWB may have been an idiot like trump, but at least he had SOME ethics. (Unlike his VP). Besides, I bet you loved him.
he doesnt care hes not gonna follow the constitution...
He'll be in good company with prior presidents it looks like.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?????????? BUT WE WILL SEE SOON
YOU PEOPLE ARE DECIEVED THAT Y YOU ALL BE IN HELL, HE IS SAVED
This news lady is always going for an emotional reaction. I don't trust her because if that. With all her years of experience she should have learned how to get facts presented in a clear way. She's not very good at that.
They should be hammering about these things every day in the national news, why is it just being overlooked? It a very short time before inauguration, all this must be cleared up before that happens.
Too bad we don't have an opposing party!
Trump's own lawyers had to sue him. Now for somebody to be totally sue-happy, that's bad.
I guess all attorneys need to be charged because they have allegiance to the BAR.
I've never heard of anyone wanting to impeach a president before he ever took office, much less the MILLIONS of people! Amazing! I just hope he doesn't push the button! I want my grandchildren to have a good life.
Is deciding to stay at his hotel really a present? NO.
professor- bush was not ethical... you did not speak out against him or his administration or his father or others
One thing I DO find insane is that we're just supposed to IGNORE Taiwan to keep mainland China HAPPY? Ridiculous. Bureaucrats and their little protocols, what nonsense.
You know you've really fucked up when the ethics lawyer for G.W. is calling you out.
Sorry but once the word Ethics was included in a sentence with the name George W. Bush the credibility factor just dropped 99.9%.
Does the supreme court have the authority to smack Trump down, or does someone else have to mount a case?
Who would be allowed to drag Donald into the supreme court?
Is there a way an ordinary prosecutor could put a stop to the crimes?
Fake news talking JUST TALKING TO NOWHERE LAND ❤🇺🇸😇😎
He hasn't even disclosed his taxes!!
HALF THE COUNTRY DOESN'T CARE WHAT HE OWNS BECAUSE HE'S HONEST!
Who's on trial for TREASON? George. You better stay focused on your own case there!!!
It doesn't surprise me in the slightest that nobody managing his campaign thought of these things.
Could the Supremes declare his business interest violates the Emoluments clause and stay his Inauguration? Who has standing to bring such a motion. What if Obama makes an recess Supreme Court appt. Does he vote? Who runs the government after Jan 20. With no one inaugurated, one more day to build opposition to the cabinet picks who will actually do the damage. Delay, obstruct.
Be a shame if these Lawyers met with an accident soon..
If this is all so clearly un-Constitutional, why didn't anyone sue to the Supreme Court to put an end to it? That's their job according to what I recall from Civics class.
There's no way Trump is going give up his holdings for the measly salary of POTUS.
Drivel. Hearsay.
There is nothing against business dealing of a President, these are not gifts, titles, emoluments, etc.
i have said sll along that trump is all about trump and his brand
This guy sounds like Russell Brand doing his Bill O'reilly impression
Thank you Professor Painter. Trump is literally walking a constitutional minefield.
cost of protecting trump buildings should not be allowed to come from citizens because he won't sell off this conflict
It is neither illegal or unconstitutional for a sitting president to own property. Believing a Progressive (Socialist) misinterpretation of said Constitution SHOULD be illegal. This story is completely ignorant of reality and law.
Oh, does this mean SECRETARY OF STATE Hillary Rotten Clinton SHOULD NOT have been receiving MILLIONS from the Russians, the Chinese, the Saudi GOVERNMENTS, or from MANY, MANY corporations & rich individuals WHILE IN OFFICE? Maybe SHE needed an “ethics lawyer”. Had one? Didn't do the USA any good, did it?
It is now one day to the inauguration and Trump has not done anything about his business conflicts. Is anyone going to do anything about this. We cannot just allow him to do what he want and ignore what's best for our Country!
come on someone form the US senate or the law makers should Tell D Trump do the right thing or resign before Jan 20th i'm not a US citizen but this is destroying the statue of the USA round the world
if all this obvious conflicts are unconstitutional who will be the one to stand up and stop him?
He won't let go of anything. He will just keep putting it off until people stop asking.
I didn't even know Bush had an ethics lawyer. I didn't even know Bush had ethics.
I was under the impression that ethics reform was effectively completed with world-class results under R.Reagan.
Trump administration a total cluster "F" for the people of America.
WE WILL SEE AND THEN GO AWAY TO WHATEVER COUNTRY IS BEST FOR YOU
Connie Moreno Take your behind back to where your family came from. What's best for me and millions is a Trumpless America. He needs to go back to Nazi Germany where his trashy butt came from.
Deb Libra What? Who's going back from where they come from? You don't make sense.
K MS Then ignore it.
yes you need to be ignore cause u r so ingnornat
Too bad they didn't also do an analysis of all of Hillary Clinton's conflicts of interest.
Constitution Trump don't need no stinking Constitution
The words Bush and Ethics in the same sentence is an oxymoron right?
With all that this person is doing and saying, when will anyone do anything to stop this madness from continuing?
January 20 is approaching and he still could not care less about anyone or any laws!!
Respectfully, what exactly was Richard Painter's role in the G.W. Bush administration? That administration was utterly unethical. Perhaps Mr. Painter did dispense ethical advice that was just ignored by President G.W. Bush. I just wanted to point out the irony here.
I would have thought this time before the inauguration would be when the president divested. Trump seems to think he will be inaugurated, then take as long as he wants to deal with it. How much time does he get?
He should get NONE. If at the moment he is inaugurated he has not resolved this, impeachment proceedings should begin immediately.
lock trump up
GIVE IT ALL TO THE HARDWORKING CHILDREN
THEY KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT .
this is what you get, America......... you're "frumpfed"
