When you have no business accumen whatsoever and must either inherit or steal from daddy to acquire all your wealth, then you’re forced to become a pro at quid quo.
The Ukrainian president received a ‘phone call from what passes for OUR president in which Trump “mentions” the Bidens EIGHT TIMES. Now, Trump SAYS there was no direct request for another investigation into Joe’s son, Hunter at all in the whole conversation – which I have no trouble believing!
Cohen, Trumps long-time personal lawyer, stated before Congress, that Trump seldom directly requests the listener to break the law, but that it’s usually very clearly inferred from the context of the discussion. Trump’s conversations run along the lines of, “Nice country you’ve got here – be a shame if anything happened to it.”
Metaphorically, we have Trump leaning against an alley wall, feet crossed, sucking on a toothpick and slowly flipping a coin as he’s speaking. There are very few national leaders who wouldn’t grasp Trump’s meaning when referencing “Biden” EIGHT times in a single conversation.
The language of the Emoluments Clause is both sweeping and unqualified. … It prohibits those holding offices of profit or trust under the United States from accepting “any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever” from “any . . . foreign State” unless Congress consents.
I have a feeling and I hope I’m wrong, but this feels like another set up with Trump being able to say “see it is a witch hunt.” and of course his base buying it all.

Cute idea for portraying a far from “cute” situation.

Get ready for a real ride, folks. Either this ends Trump or it ends the nation as it was originally designed in the Constitution.

Absolutely spot on. And all the more chilling because, like all good humor, this one is based on truth.
