I understand that Congress is not taking action and that the Justice Department is in the pocket of the President. Nevertheless, what is the ground work that we need to be doing now to ensure we can eventually prosecute those engaging in this apparent broad corruption enterprise that is the Trump Administration?

Donnie is the best grifter ever. 💩🎃🤡 it’s his superpower. Why does he hide his taxes, his college transcripts, his crypto crimes and his private conversations with dictators like Putin. Thank you Jamie Raskin and others who believe in the emoluments law and fight for it.

Trump had already looked into buying the plane. He had it flown to an airport near maralago to examine, but decided not to buy it at the time, probably because of the storage and upkeep costs. But if he can pretend it belongs to the government he doesn’t need to pay those costs.

Doesn't noting previous scandals sort of excuse what's going on? I am not ok with what clinton did either, can't we insist on a standard? you can't use whataboutism in a criminal case ..

Joyce's microphone needs to be fixed; when she speaks we're hearing morse code beeping behind her. Please fix.

Grant was unaware of the corruption in the bonds scandal and spent the rest of his life trying to pay people back. He wasn’t willingly scamming people
