As I Predicted, Emoluments Case Dismissed

[OKTexas]

When a judge allowed the suit to go forward I predicted it wouldn't withstand an appeal and it didn't.

Federal appeals court hands Trump victory in 'emoluments' case involving DC hotel

.

 

[Wyatt earp]

The ruling from the unanimous three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is a victory for the president, who was accused by the attorneys general of D.C. and Maryland of unconstitutionally profiting from foreign governments

 

[Harpy Eagle]

It was the obvious outcome. They had no standing to sue, it was all just a PR stunt.

Now they will say Trump only got off on a technicality

Yep, good ruling. He should be able to profit off his position as long as he is not breaking the law.

So, the Orange Virus is still profiting from taxpayers, yes? How is that not breaking the law? Sounds like a case of 2 separate justice systems: one for the rich, and that other one.

I am personally unqualified to make judgements about many laws. And it is no secret I believe Trump to be a world class crook who scraps settled tradition to his benefit instinctively...and gets away with it. But it seems to me the appeals court made the only decision they could. I have no idea who appointed these judges, which seems to be a factor since Trump gained office, however it appears the States failed to prove their case according to the translation I heard, just like Clark and Darden failed to make their case.

You mean that his hotel does not make a profit form people staying there?

Damn, maybe that is why his Casinos went under.

Most hotels make money when they have guest stay there.

The hotel was in the works years before he announced, how is he profiting from his position other than being the owner? As I said a thousand times before, selling goods and services at market rates does not an emolument make.

Secret Service, any cabinet member or employee works for the government, yes? If they stay at one of the Orange Virus' hotels, then it's taxpayer dollars being spent for their services, yes? Those dollars would seem to enrich the owner of the hotel, yes?

The GSA sets rates employees can pay in any given area, if someone stays at a hotel that charges more, they pay out of pocket. The government will only reimburse the GSA rate.

You do not think that they picked up guest after he became the POTUS? Really?

 

[MarathonMike]

Oh yeah I forgot about the "Emoluments Scandal". When the Democrats are throwing so much shit against the wall to see if something sticks it's easy to lose track.

Why would the Secret Service, any cabinet member or employee works for the government stay at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.? The cost would be far above what the government would cover and they would have to pay the difference out of pocket. The max the Govt will pay for DC hotels is 250 and then only during peak times.

The hotel has the best location in DC, easily accessible to everything, people would stay there for the convenience regardless of who owns it.

Seriously? In DC you'd think they'd have homes.
