Lower courts will eat this alive. Foreign governments paying off the president to influence policy is an existential crisis for American democracy. Moreso than almost anything else we've come across actually.

Also if they're pushing this he definitely took money from a foreign government and it will be leaking within at least the next month or two.

I have to wonder if Comey still identifies as a republican after having the entire republican leadership lock step in smearing his name and actions.

I also wonder if the next president would rehire Comey as the head of the FBI.

My guess is he probably thinks of himself as a Republican in exile, kind of like David Frum.

If I was a nefarious foreigner with a large budget and a desire to gently caress with Trump it would be really easy with the Emoluments clause. I'd just have some aide constantly booking rooms / conference halls throughout D.C. and then immediately canceling with a letter saying "Sorry, we are going to Trump Hotel instead because he's the president and we want to make a good impression." Then you just rebook at Trump hotel. You could methodically give every business in Washington standing to sue Trump.

Anyway I ain't a lawyer just a shitposter with dreams

No way Comey's getting a government appointed role again. Democrats don't trust him and Republicans hate him.

One of the shittiest things about the road that's taken us to Trumpmerica is that if we lived in a society that held rich people accountable, he wouldn't have remotely been in a position to run since he would have done time for perjury or obstruction of justice, at the very least, a long time ago. Of course he thinks he can do whatever he wants, because he's always gotten away with everything.

Also, trump is one economic recession away from disaster. One is currently predicted for 2019, but given how ready trump is to alienate trade partners, how much he hates the Obama appointed fed, and how much he THINKS he can guide the market (spoiler alert: he loving can't) it's likely to land ahead of schedule.

Yeah that doesn't make me feel much better for some reason. Hoping for a recession and everything I mean.
