Ivanka Trump Never Cut Ties with the Trump Organization
March 12, 2018 at 8:17 am EDT
By Taegan Goddard

McClatchy: “Ivanka Trump — a senior White House adviser who is doing everything from lobbying the Senate on tax policy to representing her father at a G20 summit of world leaders — will pull in more than $1 million a year from the family business that has continued to develop luxury resorts across the globe during the Trump presidency.”

“Some of those Trump-branded developments are hiring state-owned companies for construction, receiving gifts from foreign governments in the form of public land or eased regulations and accepting payments from customers who are foreign officials.”

“Ivanka Trump’s continued relationship with the businesses affiliated with the Trump Organization creates countless potential conflicts of interest prohibited by federal law and federal ethics standards as she works as a special assistant to the president. And just like her father, she is being accused of violating the so-called emoluments clause of the U.S. Constitution that forbids government officials — not just presidents — from accepting gifts from foreign governments without the approval of Congress.”

1. Is that a crime?

I am asking because I don't know the law on this.

2. From the article...

creates countless potential conflicts of interest prohibited by federal law and federal ethics standards

So I'd say yes.

3. Princess Ivanka's actions are in DIRECT CONFLICT with the US Constitution.

She's not violating an Amendment or criminal code. She's violating prohibitions in the main body of the Constitution. This is serious and fundamental. This violation alone disqualifies and negates the entire Administration as legitimate. The reason that Trumpy and Ivanka still desecrate the White House is that the GOP has lost its spine and is devoid of moral courage. That the GOP, nationally, is on the ropes is well-deserved. The party should be disbanded and another political coalition should rise up in place of what we have right now: a political party with the moral courage to insist on loyalty to the Constitution FIRST.
