Perhaps hoping that Trump can fill a SCOTUS seat with his fat ass, Barr is doing ALL of Trump's bidding perhaps stalling judicial oversight of his pro-Trump decisions since Barr is begging for a subpoena to force his biased hands.
Here's another cure pro-Trump decision by the DOJ screwing over any attempts by saner Americans who still believed that the Emolument Clause had some validity.
The Department of Justice has adopted a narrow interpretation of a law meant to bar foreign interests from corrupting federal officials, giving Saudi Arabia, China and other countries leeway to curry favor with Donald Trump via deals with his hotels, condos, trademarks and golf courses, legal and national security experts say.
The justice department stance now closely parallels arguments made in a January 2017 position paper by Trump Organization lawyer Sheri Dillon and several of her law partners. On 11 January 2017, just days before he was sworn in, Dillon said Trump isn’t accepting any payments in his “official capacity” as president, as the income is only related to his private business. “Paying for a hotel room is not a gift or a present, and it has nothing to do with an office,” Dillon said.
