    Emoluments clause? What’s that?

    Apparently just empty words, since laws don’t apply to the President as long as you have five SCOTUS judges in your pocket.

      That’s like perjury or bribery. It’s a crime only Democrats can commit. When Republicans do it prosecutors are very concerned about the implications of charging them. When there’s a whiff of a Dem doing either the FBI announces an investigation a month before the election.
