"SNIP......

“The American ambassador to Britain, Robert Wood Johnson IV, told multiple colleagues in February 2018 that President Trump had asked him to see if the British government could help steer the world-famous and lucrative British Open golf tournament to the Trump Turnberry resort in Scotland,” the New York Times reports.

“The ambassador’s deputy, Lewis A. Lukens, advised him not to do it, warning that it would be an unethical use of the presidency for private gain… But Mr. Johnson apparently felt pressured to try.”

1. Seriously, who is surprised? (n/t)

2. Any Democratic POTUS would be impeached for doing this if the evidence held up

At least some D House Members and Senators would vote for it, too.

Now it's just like ... "Oh well, just Trump being Trump! Personally Profiting off of his Office? You know he's a BUSINESS MAN, right?!?"



January can't get here fast enough. I want AG Warren or Harris to bust his friggin' ass for this ... and all the other corrupt shit he's pulled. SO BAD.

3. Runing a business, running for president, being president

all the same thing. "Stroke my ego and give me money". There are no longer any lines to blur.

4. What's he care what anyone thinks?

Corrupt action at every opportunity. Abuse of power. Contempt of Congress. Treason.

Demented Heinous Anus gets away with it.

Thanks, Putin. You too, Moscow Mitch!
