Shocker: Trump received millions from foreign governments as POTUS

Funny. . . . . . . . . . we always see the (baseless) accusations quickly trumpeted (heh)  by the usual suspects here,

 

but they never seem to follow up.

 

 

Trump’s interior chief goes 4-0 in political show trials

by Paul Bedard

 

For a fourth time, former Trump-era Interior Secretary David Bernhardt has been cleared by the department's inspector general of ethics charges made by his political foes.

 

Bernhardt, the Interior chief from 2019-2021, was exonerated of breaking his ethics pledge in handling a project known as the California Central Valley Project.

 

In a report from the department’s ethics office just released, investigators said, “We did not substantiate any of the allegations regarding improper conduct by Mr. Bernhardt. We also concluded that the evidence did not support the complainants’ allegations regarding the [department’s ethics office] review of Mr. Bernhardt’s potential conflicts of interest.”

 

The report is titled "Allegations of Ethics Violations by Former U.S. Department of the Interior Secretary Were Not Substantiated."

 

In February 2019, an ethics watchdog group and liberal Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Elizabeth Warren filed complaints claiming Bernhardt violated federal ethics rules by trying to weaken protections for fish to give California farmers access to water. They said he had earlier lobbied for the water district that stood to profit from the project.

 

As with three other earlier ethics complaints filed by his liberal critics and hyped by the media, Bernhardt was cleared. In the most notable case, he was cleared of playing a role in the U.S. Park Police emptying of Lafayette Park across the street from the White House of protesters so that former President Donald Trump could hold a photo-op at St. John's Church in 2020.

Strategy is clear.  He's a victim.  And the MAGA's will lap it up.  Just wondering why he was attracted to "horseface".  That's a tough one.

So you’re saying he just should’ve said it this way: “I never had sexual relations with that woman; Miss Daniels.” 
 

Yes, that’d have made it all better.

The cool thing is this.  The obsession with Trump where prosecutors identify the person and find the crime is costing a lot of taxpayer money while boosting the image of the DA with the liberal base and making a few lawyers some decent fees.  Nothing much else though.  NYS residents are just chumps bankrolling this crusade and electing these folks.  Will they ever wise up?  Doubtful.

Clinton didn't break any laws that I'm aware of.  The truth came out.  Trump likely broke the law by the manner Daniels was paid off.  And trump still insists it never happened.  Both actions were wrong.  One was not a crime.  no one should be above the law.

It depends on what the meaning of is, is.

So it’s your opinion that having sex in the office with an INTERN doesn’t break any laws as long as he doesn’t give her any money to be quiet. The proper thing to do is trash the intern on national television and give her nothing. Unbelievable!

Didn't Clinton commit perjury by saying under oath that he didn't engage in sexual relations with Lewinsky?
