he is, he s going to calculate the profits at the end of the year and donate them to the treasury department. this was nonsensical and ridiculous and it made zero sense whatsoever. ali, you mean you were not impressed by the stacks of blank paper and folders? i ve spoken to a number of reporters. no one was invited to review, authenticate, borrow, or take copies of those papers. he said these are my businesses. what does that mean? are those the incorporation documents? i have no ideas what they were. i think kink cos is missing stacks and reams of paper. listen, the emoluments clause as we ve said is in the constitution. there s no exception. it not only covers gifts, it covers anything of value, a bank loan. what loans do we know that donald trump might have? not only does it include governments booking hotel rooms, it includes trademarks that are issued in other countries for
is that the narrative it tells, it tells the exact same narrative you ve been telling us since last summer which is that donald trump some years ago was compromised against the russians, that there s compromising information they have on him that they use to keep him loyal. is that a conclusionary document or a research document? it s a research document. this is why the journalists and the media are having such a hard time with it. it s not journalism. that s intelligence collection. what you re seeing there is relatively medium to low grade intelligence collection where you re working your sources and your sources are giving you first or second-hand information or rumors that they have. they may be checkable, but a lot of these aren t. that s the sort of thing that would get past that post diplomatic party in a cable or cia cable back to one of the op centers. once it comes back into the

its who was ding, ding, ding. you mean renfrow? exactly. i asked him directly, don t you care that a week from friday the president is going to raise his hand and swear allegiance to the constitution and be in violation of the constitution on day one and his answer was no. he s the guy in charge of these investigations on the outside and what is he doing? he wants to have an investigation of the chief ethics officer of the united states for criticizing donald trump s sham plan. so instead of looking at what donald trump is doing or not doing, he s calling in the guy who s criticized it. so it s become quite orwellian, the guy in charge of ensuring ethics in the government is now demonizing and bullying and intimidati g intimidating. i ll read a little of what walter schaub, he gave a speech in which he said the president is entering the world of public service and asking his own
