A federal judge on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit from a liberal watchdog organization arguing President Trump is violating the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution by paying foreign governments.
Judge George Daniels dismissed the case on “lack of standing,” agreeing with Trump’s lawyers’ argument that the claims do not fall within the interests of the Emoluments Clause, and should be resolved through the “political process," according to the ruling.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a lawsuit earlier this year claiming that because Trump has not fully divested from his businesses, he is receiving “cash and favors from foreign governments, through guests and events at his hotels, leases in his buildings, and valuable real estate deals abroad.”

“Emoluments Clause of the Constitution”
Bwahahahahaha, another crackpot liberal strategy bites the dust.
:-) it is frivolous, just like most of the lawsuits against him, but good news.
See my tagline.
Merry Christmas Mr. President.
Winning
All this winning is beginning to exhaust me...not!
Now, if there was just some way to counter-sue these POSs into bankruptcy.
Liberals are throwing spaghetti at the wall, figuratively speaking, in the hopes that some sticks to Trump.
Liberals who a year ago had never heard of the emoluments clause, suddenly just knew that Trump was violating that part of the Constitution. Go figure.
He does not have to divest himself from his businesses....period.
This is just too much winning! Help! Can’t bear this much glee.
Good
This was a nonstarter from day one
HOORAY Judge George Daniels. SCREW C.R.E.W.
...and note this judge is a BLACK person appointed by CLINTON. Obviously one would expect him to defer to the Left if there were any merit at all...but this suit must have been so insane that he couldn’t even stomach it.
Need some Rule 11 on these lunatics. Why should Trump or the US foot the legal bill?
Tier reform would stop this crap. Loser pays!
Winning Bump
But now comes the important part of the case where the plaintives go judge shopping to find a judge that will agree with their appeal.
Isn’t that the way the liberal/progressive/socialists/dimocrats operate? Have thousands of appeals when they lose; and the, on their first success declare the issue settled?
Yep. Its always a sign of desperation when rats cite what they hate and are ignorant of . . . the Constitution
