Trump right not to go after Clinton
“The President can’t have a conflict of interest”, he said. Today he picked South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley as his United Nations Ambassador, shocking pundits because she had very nasty things to say about Candidate Trump during the campaign.
The New York Magazine claimed the group, which includes lawyer John Bonifaz and Alex Halderman, a computer scientist at the University of MI, are not speaking on record but is privately lobbying Clinton’s team to challenge the election results. They believe that there are simple solutions to the problems that America faces, and they resent the country’s engagement with the world, which they see as harming the average American.
Conflict of interest is a growing concern which he is doing very little to calm. They say just the appearance of conflicts is likely to tie up the new administration in investigations, lawsuits and squabbles, stoked perhaps by angry Oval Office tweets. “It also depends on how much it’s going to cost our companies”. If it’s so important to the American people, I would go for it.
With the presidential campaign ended, Mr. Trump seems to have concluded that the legal pursuit of Ms. Clinton or former president Bill Clinton would be a legal and political loser. As in, someone who is the head of a major worldwide real estate development company should be aware that being elected president puts him deeply at cross-purposes unless and until he fully walls himself off from the goings-on of his former life.
Over at CNBC, John Harwood was offering the campaign advice and bragging about going after Trump in a debate that he was moderating. On November 12, a source on his transition team said Trump’s advisers were considering ways to bypass a theoretical four-year procedure for leaving the climate accord. Since 1963, for instance, most presidents have instituted blind trusts to oversee their investment portfolios.
Of Breitbart, Trump said it is “just a publication” with a conservative outlook “that has become quite successful”.
Numerous examples of potential Trump conflicts have already surfaced, according to Micah Morrison, chief investigative reporter for Judicial Watch. Trump will begin his first term with a Republican-controlled Congress and U.S. Supreme Court. Three Indian developers flew to NY last week and met with the president-elect. Who ever would have thought that Trump would appoint South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley to anything, let alone name her USA ambassador to the United Nations?
In Germany, troubled Deutsche Bank has been involved in $3.5 billion in loans to Trump entities since 1998. Trump, however, has approximately $360 million in loans from this bank tied to properties in Florida, Chicago, and Washington.
“Trump could choose to fight”. In total, the Trump non profit took in $780,000 in contributions a year ago. It is theoretically possible that when the College meets on December 19th to supposedly vote Mr.Trump in as President-Elect enough of the electors could defect so no one gets the required 270 votes.
Jones even called Trump’s stunning victory a “whitelash”, a made-up term meant to inject a bogus racial element into support of Trump. He could declare a transparency revolution, liquidate the Trump Organization, and release his tax returns.
