Has the dam broken on Trump's collecting foreign money?

Asked by Tropical_Willie (31488points) July 26th, 2018

A federal judge ruled Wednesday that Maryland and the District of Columbia can proceed with their lawsuit accusing President Donald Trump of unconstitutionally accepting payments from foreign and state interests through his Washington hotel. Now they’re going to start gathering financial statements using this ruling. What is your take ?

This will go all the way to the Supreme Court, and Trump will win because he has packed the court with right-wing ideologues.

Is there anything sleazy or dishonest that Trump hasn’t been involved in?

My take is that the race is on between multiple jurisdictions. Untangling the myriad conflicts of interest is sure to expose the money laundering realities underpinning the real estate schemes, and it’s game over.

Sounds like they will try anything or everything for distraction, but nothing works, does it?

@Yellowdog. Is there anything that you have heard or seen from Trump that is not a great thing? In other words, are you honest with yourself and can say “wow, I wish he hadn’t done that”?
I’m honest with myself, and as much as I dislike him, I do admit when he has done something I feel was right.

Well apparently the lawsuit is going to require the last seven years of Trump’s tax returns too.

I don’t see a broken dam but there might be a trickle to get loose before someone jams their complicit republican finger in the hole.

@rojo 7 years of tax returns would open up, where is the money coming from? and where did it go?
