OOPS: Karoline Leavitt said on record that Trump's meeting with top buyers of his crypto coin isn't buying influence because it's on his "personal time". But SCOTUS says he's only immune for his crimes during "official acts" â not personal ones. She F**KED him.

(12,903 posts)People/companies "buy influence" all the time. Unless you can connect it to a specific quid pro quo, it's hard to prove criminal bribery.

(458 posts)Are there any foreign investors in his crypto scam? Did he place his businesses someone else's control when he took office this time? I guess the new "thinking" goes "well he didn't do it in his first term, so we'll let him get away with it again." This is just another in your face, blatant act of corruption. Impeach him, already!!

(12,903 posts)It's unconstitutional (and could be grounds for impeachment, e.g. he swore an oath to uphold the constitution), but there is no corresponding law, e.g .nothing specifying it as a misdemeanor or felony, nothing indicating what the penalty would be, etc. Congress could pass such a law, but as of now, none exists.

(12,561 posts)That should be mandated to wear one.
Hers would be a danger to press people that freak out or stroke from flashing lights. Welding glasses would be needed.
It is pathetic how easy she does it, knowing she lies and raging when called out.
Her first day she spewed the biggest lie.
I will never lie to you.
