Trump isn't taking any salary for as long as he's president.

Why don't you be patriotic, and do the same... for as long as he's president?


You silly boy. It would be a big raise for you to get Trumps salary wouldn't it?

Trump is the first president in modern times not to get out of all his other business, and focus on the peoples business.

How much do you think he just made this year by getting the top tax bracket lowered from 39% to 37%?

How much by changing the pass-through regulations?

Have you got the math skills?

It was a lot more than whatever federal salary he is pretending to forego..

In 500 pages, do you think there might be some good stuff for commercial real-estate in there? I bet there is.

Have you ever seen a magician? they always get you to watch the other hand. that's how it works.

Don't patronize me. I didn't with you. I asked you a question.

Trump shouldn't have to give up everything for a temporary job.

On the other hand, he came to be president as a rich man. The ones before him... Obama, Clinton, Bush, etc. sure LEFT the presidency pretty rich.

That, if nothing else is a welcome change.

The material includes emails, laptops and cell phones used by 13 PTT members.

Critically, a "significant volume of privileged material" was taken by Mueller, according to the Trump transition lawyer, and then used by the special counsel team in its investigation. Mueller's staff apparently admits this egregious violation, which the law strictly forbids.

Under the law, the only remedy is Mueller's dismissal from the case.

He won't be fired or dismissed, by anyone, & he will use the illegally obtained e-mails. He' s bound & determined to get Trump, legally or otherwise, & he's not going to step aside either.

Trump says there's nothing there to hide, it's just the process that's bothersome.

No worrie then. I still find it unclear if Mueller actually broke the law or not.

Well, reportedly there were classified materials included and I doubt Mueller's band of lawyers has high level or even any security clearance. That material should have been examined by qualified intel folks before turning it loose. Casual handling of classified materials doesn't seem to be a big deal any more...

We'll see how it plays out.

I asked you six questions and you dodged every one.

Especially the main one: How Much Money Does He Make From the New Tax Bill?

What would be patriotic about not taking a salary? It's more smoke and mirrors, from a flim-flam man who has come to town and taken some of the rubes in. Like I said, he's making plenty of money the other way, he doesn't need the salary. He's got the swamp right where he wants them, lining his pockets.

He's still got aliens working at Mar-A-Lago.

Remember when he was going to be too busy to play golf?

Remember when repeal and replace was going to be "so easy"?

People bought that schidt up.

Remember when Roy Moore was no good, then he was good, then he was no good again? Trump is always right, to Trump, and the Ever-Trumpers.

Trump probably doesn't make much money from salary like working people, so I doubt that tax bracket lowering helps him much.

Lowering the top bracket help people who earn salaries & wages, not people who make their money owning assets.

Perhaps a case could be made for executive privilege in the case of the president elect but it would have to be argued that there is but one president at a time. As we saw in the case of Nixon and Reagan executive privilege does indeed have limitations.

Mueller as a special counsel acting as prosecutor has different obligations legally than say an attorney not appointed for investigation of an individual or specific group.

It's not a criminal violation for Mueller to ask for private communications. It is not a criminal violation to receive private communications. It may be that information contained in some such communications may be excluded at trial, but that does not necessarily make it fruit of the poisoned tree, nor does it necessarily make any product derived from it poisoned. It may well, but that's a whole lot of arguing before it gets sorted.


As often is the case on 24CF, All that is way over some heads, they have already made up theirs minds
and have pitchforks and lit torches at the ready for Mueller.

Executive privilege does not apply until one is the executive; these documents are from the TT,
before Trump became the executive.

Trumps TT lawyer claims they were given assurance by the previous GSA-G/C( Beckler) who has since passed away,
that they would 'own and control' the information.

Current GSA -D/C Mr.Loewentritt ,has disputed such...he tells that TTT members were informed that any materials
they produced using government systems could be turned over to LE.

TTT legal reps should have arranged written signed proof of any such alleged assurance given by GSAs Mr.Beckler,
if they don't have such, then they weren't looking after the Transition team as their client.
Even then, a personally issued assurance does not necessarily override the legislated powers of a Fed. investigation
or GSA operating procedures.
People can issue assurances that actually have no legally binding effect. ..So It could be that the TTT legal team failed
in their due diligence.

Loewentritt mentioned a list of agreements that anyone had to agree to when using GSA materials during the transition,
including monitoring and auditing of devices and that, “Therefore, no expectation of privacy can be assumed.”

Loewentritt first suggested a warrant or subpoena for access to the materials, but then decided the Special Counsel’s Office
administrative letter of request for information , was sufficient.

If theres classified gov. data contained in the material that not even Fed investigators should be privi to,
then why did he TT allow a team of ordinary private lawyers be the appointed administrators of those accounts???

This thread is about a potentially illegal probe by the Mueller team. I can see why you would want to change the subject. There's no telling how much a 2% income tax relief will save him. Most of the money he makes he doesn't make as regular income though. Instead of maligning the man, you should be worshiping him. He and the other top 20% of wage earners pay 84% of all the income tax in this country. That means those of us who didn't do what it takes to become rich, the other 80%, only pay 16% It really seems silly to me when people resent high wage earners. Most of them will pay more income tax in a year than we will in a lifetime. Class warfare fail. You and your ilk will never admit it, but you are grateful the rich are funding the country. Next time you see a wealthy person shake his hand and thank him.

So Rehberg v. Paulk would tend to overturn the Presidential Transition Act since a 3rd party is always involved?

If I am doing my best to keep everything above board, why wouldn't I go ahead and get a warrant if I know that legally it's a close call?

Nah.

It's just more of the double standard BS we have been seeing since Obama took office.

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/201...hand-subpoenaed-documents-trump-dossier/

Quote
A third deadline has now passed for the FBI and Justice Department to hand over subpoenaed documents to the House Intelligence Committee relating to the debunked Russian dossier.

The big question is, did the FBI actually use this garbage dossier to obtain a FISA warrant like reports suggest?

CNN reported Monday that Obama’s FBI indeed wiretapped Trump’s campaign manager, Paul Manafort before, during and after the 2016 presidential election. CNN is even admitting that Trump himself may have been caught up in the surveillance.

The Obama FBI used a secret court order to wiretap Manafort. We the people deserve to know if the debunked dossier was used to obtain this FISA warrant in order to spy on Trump’s camp.

The Washington Examiner reports:

Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes originally set a Sept. 1 deadline for production of the dossier documents. The FBI did not comply. Nunes then extended the deadline to Sept. 14. The FBI did not comply. Then Nunes extended the deadline again, to Sept. 22. Now, again, the FBI has not complied.
There’s a lot at stake. Nunes is currently traveling in the Middle East, so it is not clear what the next step will be, or when it will happen. But so far, the FBI and the Justice Department do not appear to be in the mood to comply with the subpoena.

Not true. The infrastructure,(the cable, switches, etc), the servers, the Post Office servers that hold the emails are privately owned. How long they hold the emails is variable. Emails held on P.O. servers can be and has been recovered and used in criminal prosecutions..

More grey area of the Law being exploited by Special Council. Been there done that. It’s a cats out of the bag sort of thing that can’t be put back in even if ruled by a judge to have been inappropriate.

And no being a former Marine doesn’t give you any “Leeway” to do things that are not above board.

Appears to me no one Trumps Team screwed anything up but that GSA handed over the materials to the FBI without a warrant as instructed by their internal procedures which have probably never been tested as to the legality of such an action,
