Plus the $2,000,000,000 that his bagboy son-in-law got from the Saudis
Republicans are justifying that by investigating Hunter’s laptop
To be fair, that happened after leaving office
To be fair, if one of Obama's relatives got a 2 billion dollar check from a foreign country after he left office, it would still be a big story.
A tan suit was considered a "big story"
If that had happened, there would have been a republican countrywide manhunt to execute him.
Forget the tan suit, those fuckers freaked out about using a different type of mustard.
A much better type of mustard too. What kind of adult chooses to eat yellow mustard?
The same ones who voted twice for Donald Trump and who will vote for him again this November. Won't catch them using no fancy mustard.
Don't forget "saluting with a cup in his left hand"... which is something everyone in the military does daily.
No worries about trump saluting Kim
Forget the tan suit, those fuckers freaked out about using a different type of mustard.
No need to defend Jared. He got several huge loans while was Trump in office.
Here's a link to one of them: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sec-drops-probe-after-company-gives-loan-to-jared-kushners-family-firm/
To be even fairer, so did most of the things they're accusing Hunter Biden of even though he never even worked for his father.
Completely unrelated to Trump stealing classified nuclear data the Saudis were willing to pay billions to get their hands on.
So did any selling off of stolen classified material
I could swear that I was hearing about this deal while Trump was president... Its paywalled so I didn't look at the article, but maybe the deal was made prior to him leaving and the payment came later?
yeah, he got paid for all the work he did while they were in office
Plus I don’t think it’s his money, it’s just money he manages for a fee. The fee would be good on that sort of money I’m sure
When was hog king hunter in office?
Shock! Utter shock that a man that is under investigation for fraud and inciting an insurrection would take money from a foreign entity! How could this happen?!
/s I feel is necessary
He should try asking Russia for help again
How many people/organizations/governments booked lengthy stays at his hotels and then never actually stayed a night?
The Australian billionaire who leaked the nuclear sub info he got from Trump bragged about doing that. Called it a cost of doing business.
I guess we’ll just put this over there with the rest of the treason…
So much for the Emoluments clause
Obligatory mention of Carter having to sell his peanut farm....
Lock him up !!!
He is a savvy businessman, is breaking the law is illegal now? smh
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Using documents produced through a court fight, the report describes how foreign governments and their controlled entities, including a top U.S. adversary, interacted with Trump businesses while he was president.
”By elevating his personal financial interests and the policy priorities of corrupt foreign powers over the American public interest, former President Trump violated both the clear commands of the Constitution and the careful precedent set and observed by every previous commander in chief,” Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, wrote in a foreword to the report.
Among the countries patronizing Mr. Trump’s properties, China made the largest total payment — $5.5 million — to his business interests, the report found.
After they won court rulings, Mazars USA, the longtime accounting firm for Mr. Trump that cut ties with him and his family business, began in 2022 turning over documents related to his financial dealings.
Representative James R. Comer, Republican of Kentucky and the chairman of the Oversight Committee, made clear he had abandoned any investigation into the former president’s financial dealings and was instead focusing on whether Mr. Biden and members of his family were involved in an influence-peddling scheme.
“Critically, even this subset of documents reveals a stunning web of millions of dollars in payments made by foreign governments and their agents directly to Trump-owned businesses while President Trump was in the White House,” the report states.
The original article contains 873 words, the summary contains 234 words. Saved 73%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Deafing silence from those who claim outrage.
Surprising literally fucking no one
Before or after he CONSTANTLY blamed them for covid in the most racist ways possible?
The endgame of Citizens United.
Media reports are not enough, ther should be conviction and jail
oh who would have guess the government is corrupted
Trump sure as hell is
That's crazy. If only Biden was receiving massive bribes from AIPAC to support Genocide too. Wouldn't that be ironic?
You can definitely provide proof of this claim, right?
https://www.democracynow.org/2024/1/2/ryan_grim_the_squad_congress_2024
AIPAC is spending 100 million dollars on morally bankrups Democrats to replace AOC, Ilhan Omar and other Democrats that spoke out against israel's Genocide.
Anyone in bed with AIPAC receives massive bribes that's common knowledge. Not in direct cash but in campaigning money so they get into power. And yes this is obviously bribing, I don't care if you refuse to admit that lobbying is bribing.
And Biden is in bed with AIPAC. Surely you're not denying that.
I asked for proof and you could not provide that.
Surely you're not telling me that the article you provided explains all the claims you made.
Here you go

Are you claiming that campaign donations are bribes?
Are you suggesting giving money to politicians to encourage them to do political favors isn't bribing?
Alert the FBI.
Of course they are. That's obvious to anyone who isn't a completely brainwashed American.
Campaign donations from people who lobby for israel are indeed bribes.
What about campaign donations from people who don't lobby for Israel?
Are those not bribes?
