Coming soon to #Emoluments briefs near you...
On competitor standing:

Trump "considers himself to be in the hospitality business."
Trump tweeted, "I announced that I would be willing to do it at no cost." He is running Trump Org.

Take judicial notice.
"I announced that I would be willing to do it at NO PROFIT."

Trump stated he still runs Trump Org.
Even if there is no damage to competitors from the G7 debacle now that it was cancelled, it is evidence of the Emoluments machine Trump is running himself.
3/ Don't forget Zelinsky's emolument declaration from the explicit quid-pro-quo, arms-for-investigation transcript:

Zelinsky, p 4-5:
“The last time I traveled to the United States... I stayed at the Trump Tower.”

Don't hurt us. We gave you Emoluments.

Sunday night confessional:

@realDonaldTrump in effect admits:
I run the Trump Org for emoluments. The revocable “trust”?
I revoked it long ago.

In 2019, home teams in final playoff rounds are 3 wins and...
***17 lossess***
And trailing again.

No jinx but...
Go @Nationals.
For the record:
1) I thought the umps got the call on Turner right (he was running all the way on the infield grass).

2) Bring back Strasburg for the 9th. He has been filthy good. 102 pitches or so. If a runner gets on, then go to the pen.

Audio here for Trump v. Vance, 2d Circuit argument on @manhattanDA subpoena of Trump's tax returns from accountant Mazars.

I'll be following it here. Thread.
@ManhattanDA 2/ William Consovoy, representing Trump:
Suggests that there is a doctrine of "Temporary Presidential Immunity."

It's obviously worth noting that Clinton v. Jones rejected a president's "temporary" civil immunity for Jones's civil suit for pre-presidency actions.
@ManhattanDA 3/ Consovoy is struggling to distinguish this case from US v. Nixon's Oval Office tapes.
He says the Oval Office tapes subpoena were of a 3d party.

Puzzling: this Mazars subpoena is just as much a 3d party.

And the judges note that the Nixon tapes were... the Nixon tapes.

At the Convention, George Mason (who introduced the term “high crimes and misdemeanors”) explained that a president should be impeached if he “procured his appointment” by corrupting the “electors."

And of course, this corruption would happen in an election year.
See @FOBowman3 excellent new book, "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" p. 304.
His history (unlike Yoo's magic projections) shows a list of reasons Founders would've cited for election-year high crimes.
Their paradigmatic high crime would be abuse of the office to get re-elected.
@FOBowman3 Gouverneur Morris was one of the Framers who wanted a powerful president.
But he also wanted impeachment as a check on such power for “treachery, corrupting his electors, and incapacity.”

***Corrupting electors.***
An election year offense.
Yoo is so wrong.

The Mick Mulvaney interview on Fox is required viewing this morning.

The White House Chief of Staff is trying to say it's not a quid pro quo unless he specifically uses the words quid pro quo
mediaite.com/tv/chris-walla…
Mulvaney then tries to gaslight Fox's Chris Wallace by saying he only claimed two conditions for Ukraine aid. Wallace of course has the tapes

mediaite.com/tv/chris-walla…
WALLACE: "You say he considers himself to be in the hospitality business... he's the president of the United States!"

The White House Chief of Staff is having a complete meltdown on Fox News Sunday right now.

Mulvaney's core strategy is the denying he said things that HE SAID IN FRONT OF CAMERAS

So he denies it, and then Wallace plays the tape.

It's incredible.
Mulvaney follows a historically disastrous White House press conference with an equally disastrous TV interview.

On hosting the G7 at Doral: "He was honestly surprised at the level of pushback.. At the end of the day he still considers himself to be in the hospitality business"
There is going to be an awful lot to keep track of in the coming days and weeks.

1. #QAnon notes a Jet Blue Airbus surrounded by emergency vehicles at JFK. #Q says it was an A321 direct flight from SF to NYC.
2. #QAnon, last May 2, dropped a picture of a Jet Blue flight (2nd clear, stock photo provided for comparison).

"Coincidence?
Review image/location.
Nothing provided is random.
SFO>JFK
A321
Direct

3. #QAnon the same day, last May 2, posted pics of Apple HQ in SF & pallet cargo (i-phones?) loaded in truck. #Q

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

Breaking: SDNY Grants Government's Motion to Dismiss in CREW v. Trump - "Lack of standing." scribd.com/document/36769… #Emoluments @SethBTillman
2/ The court indirectly addressed the argument advanced by @SethBTillman and me. Rather than accepting Plaintiffs' position that Foreign Emoluments Clause applies to *all* federal officials, Judge Daniels said it applies to "certain" officials.
3/ Though I am perplexed by Footnote 2. Judge Daniels wrote "Defendant has conceded that he is subject to the Foreign Emoluments Clause." The government said the *exact* opposite "the government has not conceded that the President is subject to the FEC." DOJ should correct this.
