Enough said right there, inversion. You just know, this fine, upstanding attorney will tell Trump what he wants to hear about conflicts of interest between the presidency and the Trump businesses, i.e., there is no conflict of interest.

And what, pray tell, makes you believe that Trump voters have measurable intellect?

After FEC, he went to work for Jones Day - the largest law firm in the U. S. Based in DC no less. Really going for outside the beltway swamp, isn’t he?

Good point. Anything beyond the autonomic functions of the brain stem is pure conjecture.

Priceless? If only. The corruption coming up in this administration would make Warren G. Harding stare, and we will all pay for it.

Considering the #'s of who voted for him against who voted for her, i think that he will still get the benefit of doubt from em.

Look at the ‘revolutionaries’, as it relates to what to do next.

It’s going to be interesting to watch their reaction during’17.

Silly coinmigrant
Those folks watch FOX, listen to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and read Breitbart and Daily Caller for their news.

They will believe that America is great because white dudes are back running it and that Donald Trump is making daily sacrifices for their well being. Any shit that befalls his Clown Show Administration will be blamed on the Liburul Rigged Media and the minorities, queers and feminists. And the Vegans, whatever the Hell THEY are

Seeing how his current client is ‘patient zero’, now would be a good time for a reporter to ask the new White House counsel what are his thoughts on the emouluments clause.

One by one, the soulless Nazgûl slither to the Dark Tower of their Vile Lord.

While the Orcs of the Red State howl in mindless blood lust.

My guess is that a large percentage of them will never know what hit 'em. The RWNJ media will bombard them nonstop with a litany of the proper scapegoats, and the MSM will scratch their chins sagely and comment blandly on how unprecedented it all is, oh my.

Many of the people getting screwed will never figure it out, and they will have lots of help.

Or to explain to Trump that the “Emolument Clause” isn’t another euphemism for cocktail hour, like " a Libations Consult."

After he resigned from the agency in 2013, McGahn returned to private law practice and later served as general counsel for the National Republican Congressional Committee for nearly 10 years.

Um, what year is it now? 2013 + 10 is 2023.

They can be taught that it shouldn’t be about ‘priests’ and ‘nobles’.

That folks should shoot for something other than ‘team color’ or reliance on another to do their civic duty.

2017 should be a constant reminder of that.

N.that’s a theory that shouldn’t have been ‘road tested’.
