The far-left lawfare group known as “Citizens for Responsible Ethics in Washington” (CREW); a ridiculous misnomer if there ever was one; had a big loss today as the Supreme Court dismissed their ridiculous lawsuit against President Trump and the Trump International Hotel. The C.R.E.W. leader and advocate for all things ridiculous, Richard Painter, has a sad.
[Washington DC] The Supreme Court dismissed lawsuits against former President Trump on Monday that claimed he violated the Constitution by accepting gifts from foreign officials.
The legal battles concerned the Emoluments Clause, which bans government officials from receiving gifts or profit while in office.
The lawsuits claimed Mr. Trump‘s commercial businesses received profits from foreign officials during his time as president in violation of the law.
The justices, though, remanded the cases back to the lower courts on Monday with instructions to dismiss the legal battles as moot. The move came just days after Mr. Trump formally left office and is no longer a government official. (read more)
…”Just sayin’!”
President Trump lost a ton of net worth by becoming president. Painter and Fat Rosie can go stuff it.
Trump haters are like drug addicts looking for their next fix. They tell lies over and over to themselves until they believe their own crap.
CREW will be disbanded now that the Biden administration is in.
Dick Painter “Hunter who? No ethical issues to see here folks”.
And they say WE need de-programming.. (insert curse words here)
You can see it on the posts everywhere. The left is as angry as they were when Trump was president. The left sings the Hate Song.
The Trump family and organization should sue every person and organization that filed lawsuits for frivolous lawsuits, or litigation, or whatever the legal term is. I’m not a lawyer, but this stuff is just nuts.
May the lawfare criminals (and their clan) continue to open pandora’s box.
~What goes around…..
Agreed
Actually, this is not the win itcould or should have been.
SCOTUS isn’t saying PDJT easn’t profiting from being in office, they are, in effect only saying that, because he is no longer in office, the issue is irrelevant, i.e. moot.
Kinda like “no standing” its a cop out by a cowardly SCOTUS, and not the vindication of PDJT we all would presumably have preferred.
Well THERE’s a twist of logic if ever I saw one. So.. the Supremes will thwart a *fake* charge so they can set precedent for *real* ones like Hellary’s private server, pay for play or B Hussein’s spy network?
They are no longer in office NOW, so move along folks.. Nothing to see here. /s
If that is the body of the decision then following the same reasoning the Supremes will throw out the impeachment hoax.
The Trump family would have to go bankrupt dealing with every frivolous lawsuit. Globalists have TRILLIONS to work with, and much of it (that isn’t outright bribes) is our own tax dollars working *against* us.
I’m sure macaroon is pleased to have us once again fund France’s social programs via the reinstated Paris “Climate” Accord. Those frogs were getting awfully hot when that well ran dry!
This is the crux of Lawfare, to use our wealth to wear us down, both financially and psychologically.
Any member of the GOP Senate could put an immediate stop to the Paris Climate Agreement by suing Biden on the grounds that according to the Constitution, Senate ratification is required before any treaty signed by us, can legally go into effect.
How come this hasn’t happened yet?
I keep saying this.”You can control THEM via the power of the purse”
Yeah, this is getting out of hand. To me, it may be a case for abuse of process.
You will not believe how much money our President Trump lost and sacrificed while working for us:

()vomit is the leader and he’s got our intelligence divisions and civil deep state working against us.
President TRUMP & Family lost a ton of net worth.
SHAME on the UNIParty. You are a stain on the USA.
Emolument is a fancy word meaning “Hunter Biden” and “the Clinton Foundation”.
Holy crap. He does look just like Sam the Eagle.
Poor Richard.
I will forever remember and link the terminally dense Richard Painter with that awful “dumpster fire” campaign commercial.
He is truly an idiot in search of a village.
Tucker Carlson had him on his show one night. The guy is cookoo for cocoa puffs. lol
Surely, CREW is going to keep an eye on Biden. There couldn’t be a more appropriate target!
Yeah, right. And stop calling me Shirley.
???
A win is a win and I’ll take it!??????
Sorry to say, but I imagine that there were those on the court that would have liked stabbing our President in Exile in the back yet again.
“President in exile”. That’s sobering.
Yes we now have a Government in Exile.
Yes, but our government deserves a time out, our POTUS? The abuse he has taken, still taking, it is heartbreaking
Sure beats Poseurdent Biden.
I saw a poster call him potatus.
Cracked me up.
Judges need to start charging plaintiffs who bring to court facetious lawsuits that smack of a political vendetta.

I read this as search.

Activist judges in the lower courts is the reason how Trump’s emolument case managed to reach all the way to the Supreme Court.
“We are proud that because of our case, a court ruled on the meaning of ‘emoluments’ for the first time in American history, finding that the Constitution prohibits federal officials from accepting almost anything of value from foreign or domestic governments.”
What about accepting 1.3 Billion dollars from the Chinese? Does that count as something of value?
Wow. How about a lawsuit on THAT one???
You’d have no standing!
Patience.
Our Very stable genius is very stable.
What was the vote?
Of course they did. Can’t take such a case against Trump bc that opens Pandora’s Box to try MOST US congressmen/women and senators too… along with others in the Exec and Judicial branch.
And what do they do with VP Biden and the emoluments he received from communist china, Ukraine and other foreign countries?
Sadly, SCOTUS may well have tossed this case to PROTECT biden.
“You have NO EVIDENCE that Joe took $1.3 billion from China!” (It was Hunter).
“Er, you have no evidence Joe was “the Big guy,…and even if he was, no evidence that effective his performance of his official duties!”
“Er, and Orange man BAD!”
“Joe was “the Big guy”
I guess the vanity plate on his 1967 Corvette Stingray does not count.
/sarc
D_I, He’s a legend in his own deluded mind.
What are the chances the lower court acts like Sullivan did when told to stop the Flynn case with dispatch.
This should have been done months ago before the election. The Supreme Court is completely corrupt.
I guess it had “standing”/s
Being reported by AP et al. as: “The justices threw out Trump’s challenge to lower court rulings…”
This was an easy ruling now that he is out of office.
That is brilliant! We could use that logic to force Biden to return his 10 percent cut from Chyna.
re the article statement: “former President Trump…”…
Don’t t Presidents keep the title of “President”….without ‘disqualifying’ adjectives, such as “former:???
Constitutional Legal Beagles, what say you?
You are correct. But virtually all media outlets use wordplay to denigrate what they want to suppress. And Trump is definitely in that category. If you ever want a dose of fury on that front, check the Daily Mail at any time; they use capital letters and wordplay in virtually every headline and article to let you know exactly where they stand.
These people are ugly inside and out. I wonder what Painter has in his closet!
A Hunter Biden poster.
Or a poster of daddy touching, smelling and stroking a little girls hair. Barf.
What’s in his closet good question, I’m guessing maggots?
The end game for the left is to bankrupt PDJT through the constant need for defense.
It will never stop.
Bankrupt him or put him in jail on some phony charge – ala NYS AG.
And we’re not too far behind him. They will surely find a way to bankrupt our economy and make themselves richer at the same time.
Rob Portman not standing for re election. We need to get Jim Jordan in that seat!
You need to stay on topic.Put this in the Presidential thread.That’s alright I will put it there for you.
Bingo!
Why?…..In case you’ve forgotten,the DemocRATS own the courts AND the voting machines.Until you fix that,it all seem to be of no value what so ever.
And if those cases are moot, so is the current impeachment. Message sent. Will it be received?
So THIS is the case they choose to take. Great
So all these cases go back to the lower courts, where all the lawyers will once again meet and create more billable hours to charge to their clients, with the possibility that some Leftist judge or judges will dream up a trivial reason to keep one or more of the cases going for a while longer, creating more billable hours and headache for defendants, etc. etc. Why can’t the Supreme Court just up and dismiss the cases at their level?
No the Supreme court also took this away from the lower courts as well
Okay, thanks. But the SC should have ruled on the emoluments issue. By simply saying it is moot because Trump has left office, it seems it remains as a weapon for the Leftist Lawfare people to use against him or any of his family members who may ever choose to run for federal office in the future.
Sundance, Thank you for that special photo of President Donald J Trump❣
~winning!!!!!!
The supreme court also struck down any lower court rulings as well
all of them

SCOTUS punts again hiding behind a procedural “moot” argument. Should have dismissed based on facts. This provides no precedent for similar circumstances in the future. But fine.
Hiders hiding. Again.
You can bet it’s snowing wherever he’s at.
Last week a reporter asked Joe if it was true that Hunter had worked out a plea deal and Joe refused to answer. If true then he didn’t waste anytime. jmo
I was thinking that their decision might have been more than just a punt.
If Trump were to run again, the cases would simply be re-filed.
Instead of resolving the matter, did they choose this route to provide anti-Trumpers another means of attacking him in the future???
You just answered your own question.
President Trump did nothing wrong American,
, the Racist porpaganda Democrat and bunch of wimp Rino Republican join with Dem’s trying to impeach
President Trump for what?

If that’s true, it certainly explains a few things.
I hear reports that Dominion has sued Sidney Powell for defamation claiming her statements about Dominion voting machines and the 2020 election were false.
Wow. This should be interesting. Dominion may have ensnared itself. Under the law of defamation, DOMINION had the burden of proving falsity which means Dominion has to prove by admissible evidence that it did nothing wrong regarding the election and its machines.
You can learn information. about Dominion voting machines by watching the 2020 HBO documentary “Kill Chain.”

Accurate List of 2020 Election Fraud Cases Shows 81 Cases Total, 30 Still Active – And NOT ONE SINGLE COURT Has Allowed Evidence to be Argued.

Dominion may not like the “discovery” part of this lawsuit…..
Doesnt matter if another Judge Sullivan is hearing the case.
They announced they are suing Rudy as well, and his responce was basically that he is looking forward to the Discovery.
And countersuits are always on the table, of coarse.
Dominion “had a good run”, but they were effectively over on Nov 4, 2020. Like McConnell their power derived from STEALTH, now that they are exposed for all to see, while it will take time, they are going down.
Discovery will not be an open book. Judges put perimeters around it.They’ve already been judge shopping.
Something to smile about on an otherwise bleak kinda day.
Corrupt Lawyers, corrupt Politician Lawyers(almost half of Congress are Lawyers), corrupt un-elected Bureaucrat Lawyers and a corrupt, complicit Judiciary has destroyed our Republic…..
Reports of the demise of our Republic are extemely premature.
Even more foundational and fundamental than the concept of “inalienable rights”, our Republic starts with recognising a fundamental truth;
No government can govern, without the consent of the governed.
EVERYTHING else flows from the recognition of this universal truth.
Once you recognise this, you recognise that all “power” is provisional, and conditional.
Some call the CCP form of Conmunism “mercantalist communism”, because instead of the State taking over businesses, they just work thru them.
Others say “thats Fascism”, but it doesn’t matter. Distinctions without a difference.
America fought amd won a Worldwide battle, and defeated Fascism (WW2).
America fought and won a Worldwide battle against Conmunism (WW3, also known as the Cold War).
And now,third time pays all, we fight this battle, this time within our own shores.
However, it IS, once again a “World War”; because THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING.
IF America falls, the World falls, and is plunged into a dark grey future.
PDJT interrupted their plans; not knowing then, what we know now, in 2016 had Hillary beat Jeb, and no doubt with a majority in both Houses, she would have embarked on just what Biden admin is doing; consolidating power before the American people could fully grasp what was happening; a kind of surprise blitzkrieg.
By the time the America people realised what had happened, it would have APPEARED as a “fait accompli”.
In his 4 year term, PDJT interupted their plans, and took away the element of surprise, and red pilled 80 million.
While he could have instituted many great policies in a second term, such as universal school choice, its frankly doubtful he could have greatly increased our ranks, or made significant inroads in those msm brainwashed, TDS infected Biden voters.
However, Biden admin will be able to accomplish what PDJT could not.
Already we are seeing buyers remorse, and new bogus admin has only been in place for 2 weeks.
Nothing promotes UNITY, like a common enemy; middle east peace is happening because Sunni arab countries are UNITING with Israel, because bothe see Iran as a common enemy.
Women whose husbands work on keystone, who voted for Biden, are now saying “WTF!” on twitter.
Parents whose daughters were on track to a sports scholarship, seeing their daughter is now going to have to compete with dysphoric men, are saying “WTF?!”
The commiefascists will be compelled to race headlong to conolidate their ILLUSION of absolute Power, hoping to overcome that fundamental, foundational truth thru illusion, and their very actions will consolidate the Unity that guarantees their ultimate failure.
No government can govern without the consent of the governed.
So, dark days ahead, as the commiefascists consolidate, and in doing so swell our ranks.
Eventually, without resort to 2A,WE, the People WILL rise up, in UNITY, and simply refuse to comply, and the Commiefascists WILL be defeated.
And, WITH THE WHOLE WORLD WATCHING, peoples throughout the World will have this fundamental truth affirmed by clear example, and realise THEIR government can, likewise only rule with the consent of the governed.
Hence, the existential nature of the battle, is ultimately over the suppression of, or proof of this basic concept.
The foundational concept of our Republic, and from which everything else derives, and it is a universal, unconditional timeless
truth.
UNITY is the answer, not division. And it WILL come.
IMHO
The Hill is reporting that Sen Leahy, not the Chief Justice will preside over the impeachment kangaroo court. Since the Constitution says the Chief Justice shall preside, what gives?
We have most assuredly reached the make it up as you go along stage of government.
Roberts said last week that this would probably come before the court so he could not cover it like the last time. Conflict.
He’s as bad as the liberal judges on just making things up. If the constitution calls for him to preside, he needs to preside. His not presiding guarantees it goes to the SC because it is unconstitutional on that ground by itself.
Mimbler, I think that would be a good result.
We want this shampeachment to crash and burn without any harm whatsoever to our real POTUS, don’t we?
Steve Bannon keeps saying the trial will be some great forum for presenting the election fraud – and I appreciate the way he has been keeping everyone informed through the war room of how that on-the-ground fight is going.
But I’m not sure his wish about this trial would come true – in fact I’d bet that McSchumerConnell would find a way to block that evidence from being revealed. They certainly found a way – using Antifa to stage a “color revolution” violence tactic – to stop the same evidence’s being heard on the 6th, didn’t they?
In my opinion, President Trump should not show up to the 2nd Impeachment Trial and remain in Florida.
President Trump should not legitimize this farce of an impeachment trial by attending it.
I do believe that it would NOT be in his best interests.
How many times do we have to crash and burn on Marxist theories until we finally learn the lesson?
Jealous little brats. Haha.
i do think that a lot of the DC anti-Trump sentiment is pure jealousy. He “didn’t pay his dues”, he jumped in and did a truly great job despite their constant malicious obstruction. He showed them for the incompetent greedy bastards they are. You’d think they’d clean up their act but instead their response is to destroy him – and we who supported him.
I can’t help but suspect our government is not fixable without a massive event.
The Supreme Court is a shameful group. Thia should have been dealt with long ago
I hope to God Chief Justice Roberts is exposed.
Their theory was completely absurd, and it is an indication of just how corrupt our courts are that it lasted this long. The emoluments clause is directed a bribes, but the sale of goods and services at their usual and customary price is not a bribe. They were arguing that if the Trump organization charged foreign visitors anything for hotel rooms, then they were accepting a bribe. But of course that is ridiculous. To charge the going rate is just doing business, not accepting a bribe. Their case should have been dismissed on the merits, not for mootness.
The SC will dismiss the election fraud lawsuits when they arrive as moot, too. The writing is on the wall.
“.. with instructions to dismiss the legal battles as moot”,… because Trump is no longer in office.
If this last phrase is what the court ruled, as I read in another article today, then this should be used by the Trump supporting GOP Senators to throw out Pelosi’s unconstitutional Impeachment.
Will we ever learn to fight back with those who have no Western principles?
like!
Another peach from the disappointing leftist state of Minnesota (“my” state)
“Richard William Painter is an American lawyer, professor, and political candidate. From 2005 to 2007 Painter was the chief White House ethics lawyer in the George W. Bush administration…”
Chief White House ethics lawyer in Dubya’s administration? That, right there, says it all.
The side mouth speaker who can only mutter “Dumpster fire” just like the party of nickel chasing shysters they all are.
So the emoluments clause only applies to sitting presidents but impeachment can be retroactive? The constitution has been reduced to a roulette wheel with a hidden brake based on the immediate convenience of the left.
And a RINO from Ohio announces retirement ahead of the 2022 elections (to any extent they reflect actual voting). Another example of a RINO sacrificing his career rather than voting the way his constituents want. The establishment has plenty more to take his place and will sabotage anyone else who tries.
Speaking of SCOTUS, John Roberts has apparently declined to preside over the Impeachment. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/just-chief-justice-roberts-will-not-preside-trump-senate-impeachment-trial/
Since the US Constitution specifically provides for the Chief Justice to preside in cases of impeachment of the President, his refusal to preside provides a further basis on which to attack the legitimacy of any possible conviction. Moreover, Congress shall pass no “Bill of Attainder.” If they just want to impeach him to disqualify him from future office, it seems like a prohibited Bill of Attainder, designed to punish him for a crime without a normal trial.
When does the term
“Malicious Prosecution” comes
to the surface? Hope President Trump sues both parties and each individual involved personally for these false charges and slander.
We need a “lawfare” so we can sue entities that go after Pres. Trump and sue others. Keep them on the defensive.
If only……
The left is well funded they have unlimited resources from big tech, lawyers and corrupt corporations. They also use the taxpayer paid resources of leftist DAs around the county. It is part of the censorship scheme to constantly cause their targets unsustainable financial drains to fight endless attacks. It is not going to end, they will continue going after President Trump and any of his supporters. Include economic blacklisting, character assassination etc. to the mix. Conservatives believed we solve issues at the ballot box but even fairly skeptical people didn’t realize that that avenue has been completely usurped by fraud. We’re being or have been painted into a corner until there is effective mechanisms for strong push back against this sad reality.
I must protest some of the content of this article! 😮 Such a comparison is a horrible libel against Sam the Eagle, who was a true patriot (before Disney got their claws on the Muppets.)
“The justices, though, remanded the cases back to the lower courts on Monday with instructions to dismiss the legal battles as moot.”
The same applies to Nancy and Chuckie’s impeachment farce.
I hear that Roberts found some balls recently and also said he won’t officiate over a SHAMPEACHMENT against an ordinary citizen.
Finally. Someone get them bronzed for him.
They’ll need a real professional to bronze something that small.
