Trump Wins Delay in Emoluments Lawsuit by D.C. and Maryland This case is likely to make its way all the way up to the Supreme Court as the opposing sides make their appeals. On Dec 20, it was stayed and moved up to a federal appeals court, where it will be argued in mid-March.

You are correct. I should have chosen my words more carefully.

Trump did not say Mexico would reimburse us for the wall. He said Mexico would pay for the wall. No public official in his or her right mind would appropriate billions to build a wall with the expectation that Mexico would pay for it by us simply presenting the bill. And, thankfully, no public...

Trump is not without his accomplishments as president. Just like I prefer to talk about the investigations and allegations against Trump in terms of hard facts, I believe it is best to talk about his accomplishments in hard-fact terms. Debating whether the U.S. became a laughingstock under Trump...

Two more hard facts emerged today out of two arenas. One relates to the Trump Foundation which is being investigated by the New York state Attorney General. Today, the foundation and the AG agreed to dissolve the foundation under judicial supervision. The investigation and related lawsuit...

As I said above, I have nothing more to add to campaign finance discussion. I just want to enter this link into the discussion record for future reference. Statement of Admitted Facts Item 3 mentions "at least one other member of the campaign." NBC News recently confirmed that includes Donald...

The prosecution of the campaign finance violations in question has reached a pause point for the moment. Despite his earlier denials, there is no question that Trump had the extramarital affairs in question, that he sought to keep them quiet, that he was directly involved in the now...

"For the purposes of influencing any federal election." Those words are significant in the current EO forum discussion. Looking deeper into it, I came across this piece. The title states the author's view on this matter. Michael Cohen Plead Guilty to Something That's Not a Crime I find the...

1. Regarding the two campaign finance crimes, the court finding that these were actual crimes (felonies) committed for the purpose of influencing the election rest on more than than Cohen's statements alone. There is the tape recording between Trump and Cohen of the two discussing specific...

Both are bad acts as far as I'm concerned.

I saw the CNN report but it does not pertain to the original question I asked of you. You put up a photo of a tweet regarding Schiff that is (so far at least) unsubstianted. The CNN report does not pertain because it makes no mention of Schiff and in no way substantiates the photo in question. I...

My Google search produced the link you shared here. The Tweet you shared is about a sexual harassment settlement in 2013. The Rumors and Facts piece you shared is about an invitation said to be made by Shiff to a woman in Romania in 1992 and was declined by the woman. The CNN article you shared...

Wanting to learn more, I Googled "adam schiff sexual harassment settlement" but found little. The Twitter post you shared here seems to have disappeared. Can you share more details about the settlement? When and where was the settlement made? Have you been duped by fake news? Are you trying to...

Before my posts of the last few days, it has been months since I participated here. That's because I have a business to run and nothing substantial developed regarding my impeachment prediction. Mueller investigated, Trump tweeted, the talking heads filled the air waves; but no real news broke...

Fox News contributor and former federal prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy: "Why Trump is Likely to be Indicted by Manhattan US Attorney" Excerpt: "The major takeaway from the 40-page sentencing memorandum filed by federal prosecutors Friday for Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former personal...

You may be right. Time will tell.

You are correct. Cohen was not convicted. He admitted he was guilty of the crimes. They are crimes just the same. Courts do not let people plead guilty to things that are not crimes. The prosecutors, defendant and the Court all agreed that the items in question were actual crimes. If someone...

As I stated above, Turtle makes a good point with these words. That said, it is worth noting that the election law violations ARE findings of fact determined in a court of law, after both sides had the opportunity to present their best cases. Cohen has admitted to these CRIMES (not...

And evidence, which will be combined with the items you mention for the court's or Senate's consideration at trial, where both sides will have their best lawyers making their case. You make a good point in distinguishing between a prosecutor's findings and a court's findings. So far, the...

The rule you cite refers to campaign funds used in an improper way. That is not what happened in the Trump/Daniels and Trump/McDougal cases. Those are cases where funds from outside the campaign were used for the benefit of a campaign and not reported. An example of someone violating the...
