The full text messages showing U.S. diplomatic pressure on Ukraine (837 hits)


Late Thursday, House Democrats conducting an impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump released text messages provided to Congress by Kurt Volker, the former special envoy to Ukraine who spent more than eight hours testifying behind closed doors on Capitol Hill Thursday.

The messages show U.S. ambassadors working to persuade Ukraine to publicly commit to investigating Trump’s political opponents and explicitly linking the inquiry to whether Ukraine’s president would be granted an official White House visit.

As President I have an obligation to end CORRUPTION, even if that means requesting the help of a foreign country or countries. It is done all the time. This has NOTHING to do with politics or a political campaign against the Bidens. This does have to do with their corruption!

Trump is in clear Violation of The Emoluments Clause Constitution Steve, with that statement.

Emoluments Clause. Also known as the Title of Nobility Clause, Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution prohibits any person holding a government office from accepting any present, emolument, office, or title from any "King, Prince, or foreign State ," without congressional consent.

What is the Emoluments Clause and what does it mean for the President?

The clause is an anti-bribery provision that forbids any U.S. president from receiving gifts from foreign leaders and is derived from the Latin word “emolumentum,” meaning “profit” or “gain.”. The Emoluments Clause is Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution.

Why do the Emoluments Clause matters?

The Founders included the Foreign Emoluments Clause in the Constitution because they recognized that payments and gifts to U.S. officials by foreign governments could compromise the judgment of those officials and undermine their loyalty to the United States, thereby harming the American people.

Is Trump violating the Emoluments Clause?

Trump is already facing two lawsuits, both as the president and as an individual, for allegedly violating the emoluments clause of the Constitution, which bans elected officials from financially benefitting from foreign governments.

YOUR QUESTION STEVE: What does the emoluments clause say Ron?

MY REPLY: You must have forgot that I posted this definition of Emoluments Clause. Also known as the Title of Nobility Clause, Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution prohibits any person holding a government office from accepting any present, emolument, office, or title from any "King, Prince, or foreign State ," without congressional consent.

YOUR OTHER QUESTION: How have you determined that Trump has violated it?

MY REPLY: Trump is already facing two lawsuits, both as the president and as an individual, for allegedly violating the emoluments clause of the Constitution, which bans elected officials from financially benefitting from foreign governments.

MY QUESTION TO YOU STEVE: Is it a fact that Trump is facing two lawsuits, both as the president and as an individual, for allegedly violating the emoluments clause of the Constitution, you do see that, don't you?

It's a fact that Trump is facing two lawsuits and WILL WIN BOTH. The fact is Ron, there is no violation, no present, no emolument, no office, no title received.

Experts say President Trump is violating the Constitution. What happens now?

Why is the clause a problem for Trump?

Trump is the wealthiest president in U.S. history thanks to his ownership of the Trump Organization, his family’s massive, international real-estate conglomerate. As NPR has detailed at length here, Trump’s umbrella company contains hundreds of international hotels, golf courses, commercial real estate, and other miscellaneous companies.

Though Trump recently said he will hand over management of his company to his sons, he has presented no plans to divest himself from his business, which actively operates and brings in revenue in foreign countries.

This has ethics experts roiling over potential conflicts of interest. And Tribe, as well as many other experts, says Trump is now violating the Constitution via the Emoluments Clause.

“He will violate it from the moment after he takes the oath—every time a foreign government, agent, or entity controlled by such government pays one of Trump’s companies to use its facilities,” Tribe told Boston.com earlier this month, particularly noting the president’s sprawling hotel empire.

Operating a business has nothing to do with emoluments Ron. Trump doesn't care who he does business with.

Bring your as- back here, we are talking about Trump is violating the Constitution.

Steve, Though Trump recently said he will hand over management of his company to his sons, he has presented no plans to divest himself from his business, which actively operates and brings in revenue in foreign countries.

The President isn't receiving any emoluments Ron.

The Constitution doesn't prohibit the President from being a businessperson, thank God

Tuesday, October 8th 2019 at 8:45PM

YOU SAY: The President isn't receiving any emoluments Ron.

I SAY: Can you Proof it? Show us Trump's Tax's, can you do that? If not, then what do you base your claim on, Steve?

YOU SAY: The Constitution doesn't prohibit the President from being a businessperson, thank God

I SAY: The Constitution prohibit and forbids the President, as an anti-bribery provision that forbids any U.S. president from receiving gifts from foreign leaders and is derived from the Latin word “emolumentum,” meaning “profit” or “gain.”. The Emoluments Clause is Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution.

Now if Ukraine comes up with dirt on Biden then, Trump would personally benefit from that news from a foreign leader or leaders.

Where is your proof Steve?


Wednesday, October 9th 2019 at 8:22AM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
You can't prove the President received a bribe just because he's a businessperson.

Wednesday, October 9th 2019 at 11:12AM
Steve Williams
You cannot produce any proof that he receive any emoluments because he hasn’t voluntarily turned over his taxes.
Steve, don’t you think that if Trump wanted you Or the American people Do you know if he’s in violation of the emoluments clause or not, he would show you his taxes to prove himself right?


Wednesday, October 9th 2019 at 2:46PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
No Ron, you have no right to see the President's taxes to prove anything. But common sense tells you that people open hotels for paid guests to stay at, to make money, and that such enterprises don't require bribes to make money.

Like I said Steve, you cannot prove a thing you are saying.

The way our justice system works Ron is the burden of proof is on the prosecution, not the defense.
