A federal appeals court on Wednesday handed President Donald Trump a legal victory, dismissing a lawsuit accusing the president of illegally profiting from his Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., by accepting money from foreign governments. The attorneys general from Maryland and the District of Columbia had brought the case, arguing that the president violated a constitutional clause that prohibits elected officials from doing business with foreign governments without permission from Congress. But an appeals court panel ruled the attorneys general lacked standing to bring the lawsuit.
Word just out that I won a big part of the Deep State and Democrat induced Witch Hunt. Unanimous decision in my favor from The United States Court of Appeals For The Fourth Circuit on the ridiculous Emoluments Case.

Not sure that anyone "actually" believed that this lawsuit would stick. But then again, when you are literally throwing things at the wall, hoping "something" sticks, you generally end up with little more than a mess and some frustration.
The original judge (Clinton appointee) who ruled it could go further was pretty much mocked by the appeals court for his logic. When was the last time you saw an appeals court (or the Supreme Court) mock a conservative Judge for a Trump related ruling?
By the way, the case was tossed "with prejudice" which means that it cannot be brought back and means that it pretty much lacked any merit.

Apparently the Harvard trained AG's of Maryland and DC don't understand the legal term "dismissed with prejudice" means.
When Trump gets re-elected Alky will go down a rat hole he'll never get out of.

Only 1.7 million which breaks the DC budget....but fuck them since they can't cover such a paltry sum....
Mayor: Trump’s July 4 event and related protests have bankrupted D.C. security fund
The celebration cost the District $1.7 million, an amount that — combined with police expenses for related protests — has depleted a city fund used to protect the nation’s capital from terrorist threats and secure rallies and state funerals.

Mayor: Trump’s July 4 event and related protests
The Federal Government pays for the actual cost of the 4th of July celebration, not the District of Columbia. If the Mayor is claiming they went over budget because of security concerns it wasn't because of what the President spent, it's because Trump is President, he held a 4th of July event...
and a bunch of whiny liberals came to protest and caused problems.
Whether he spend the bare minimum to be there giving a speech, or 10 billion dollars on fireworks and flyovers... people still would have came to protest and D.C. Policy would have to be on alert and it still would have cost the same amount of money to keep protesters in line.
Angry Speaker in Name Only Polosi goes after AssholeC.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) issued a stern warning to Democrats in a closed-door caucus meeting Wednesday, rebuking members for airing the party’s dirty laundry on Twitter.
This was the first major caucus meeting following the bitter battle between Pelosi and freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) over the Republican’s migrant crisis funding bill, which Pelosi ultimately accepted.
“So, again, you got a complaint? You come and talk to me about it,” Pelosi told her Democrat colleagues, according to Politico. “But do not tweet about our members and expect us to think that that is just ok.”
Waaaa.

A top obama bundles, Terrance Bean was just arrested in Portland OR and charged with two counts of having sex with minors. Let's see how long the Obama loving media ignore it.
Roger, predicted that Obama would not have the taint of sexual misconduct around him.
WRONG Again Roger.
Roger, come on Man. You said the earth quake was a huge deal. I told you it was not.
"After major temblors on July 4 and 5, structural engineers descended on Ridgecrest expecting to study destruction from the largest earthquake to hit Southern California in nearly 20 years.
They found relatively little."
Aoc called Speaker in Name Only Polosi a Racist.
"The public spat between Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif, got a lot nastier on Wednesday, with the freshman congresswoman suggesting that the speaker is "singling out" her and her colleagues based on their race."
what an idiot. all she had to do was set up a private server in her shitter and she could've gotten away scot free...
Candace Marie Claiborne, a former employee of the U.S. Department of State, was sentenced today to 40 months in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of $40,000 for conspiracy to defraud the United States, by lying to law enforcement and background investigators, and hiding her extensive contacts with, and gifts from, agents of the People’s Republic of China, in exchange for providing them with internal documents from the U.S. State Department.
The announcement was made by Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers, U.S. Attorney Jessie K. Liu of the District of Columbia, Acting Assistant Director John P. Selleck of the FBI’s Washington Field Office and Deputy Assistant Secretary Ricardo Colón, Domestic Operations, U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service.
“Chinese intelligence agents convinced Candace Marie Claiborne to trade her integrity and confidential information of the United States government for cash and other gifts for herself and her family,” said Assistant Attorney General Demers. “Claiborne withheld information and lied repeatedly about these foreign intelligence contacts. Violations of the public’s trust are an affront to our citizens and to all those who honor their oaths. With this sentencing, justice has been imposed for these dishonorable criminal acts.”
