Richard Painter: Trump must go. NY AG or Mueller can arrange the accommodations.






The founders were serious about foreign intervention and influence when they drafted the emoluments clause of the constitution. They did not want a president owned by Russia or any other foreign power.
Trump must go.









I’ve had it with Trump/Russia. Congress needs to remove every single person who had anything to do with betraying the U.S. to a foreign power. If you want “go along, get along” with Trump, find someone else. I’m not playing “Minnesota nice” until he’s on the train back to NYC.









New York has an attorney general. It’s his job to arrange the accommodations. If he needs help he can call his friend Bob.

Article I, Section 9, of the Constitution contains what is known as the Foreign Emoluments Clause, which reads, “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

Mueller has a ton of stuff right now but he is sitting on it. He has investigations going on in several different areas. I heard this morning that one "good" thing about the House Intel Comm. investigation being called off by the GOP may actually benefit Mueller since certain people who have been interviewed or would have been called to interview again by the House and/or Mueller may shut up and interfere with Mueller's grand plan.

More stuff is going on with world leaders/oligarchs besides Russia (esp.the Middle East)who are in cahoots at a global level.
