BREAKING: Donald Trump gets slammed with terrible news as Congressman Ritchie Torres officially calls for a probe into his "flying grift" — his corrupt plan to accept a luxury jet from the government of Qatar.
This is exactly how you deal with blatant corruption...
"With an estimated value of $400 million, the aerial palace would constitute the most valuable gift ever conferred on a President by a foreign government. The American people are witnessing, in real time, what can only be described as a 'flying gift,'" Torres wrote in a letter to the Government Accountability Office comptroller general, Defense Department acting inspector general, and the Office of Government Ethics acting director.
The Democratic Congressman pointed out that the plane is "so opulent" that it has been described as a "palace in the sky."
Trump reportedly intends on using the plane as his Air Force Once and then taking it with him for private use once he leaves office. It is, in every sense, a bribe. Qatar is "gifting" this plane to curry favor with this administration and tilt American foreign policy to benefit their interests.
"Rather than enforcing ethics, the Attorney General has affixed the Department of Justice’s seal of approval to a transaction that flagrantly violates both the letter and the spirit of the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause" wrote Torres.
"That clause explicitly prohibits any person holding public office from accepting 'any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.' No one — not even President Trump — is above the law, let alone the Constitution," he added.
"This 'flying gift' is merely the latest chapter in a tawdry tale of presidential profiteering unprecedented in American history," Torres continued. "Donald Trump has been caught selling access to the White House to the highest 220 bidders for his personal meme coin."
"Meanwhile, a foreign government has reportedly agreed to use his family’s stablecoins in a $2 billion transaction," he went on. "According to CNBC, Trump and his associates have enriched themselves from the sale of STRUMP — at the expense of 764,000 retail investors who lost money. The $2 billion in foreign deposits — if invested in U.S. Treasuries — would generate tens of millions in interest for the Trump family."
The Congressman is demanding "an immediate ethics review" into the jet deal and for the officials he addressed to "issue a formal advisory opinion on whether the gift violates federal ethics regulations;
and the Emoluments Clause."

Initial thoughts after the interview:
-Putin knows way too much history
-Putin is operating on an intellectual plane far above all US politicians
-Putin appears to want cooperation but the West have isolated Russia
-Putin does not want to invade Poland or take over the world
-Putin is not the deranged warmonger the MSM describes him as
-Putin is well-aware of the “Deep State” and recognizes the CIA as nefarious
I really wanted to see Putin go into detail on the degeneration of Western society, gender insanity, etc., because I think it would have resonated with the American People. The history about Ukrainian Nazism will be effective and his talk of “denazification” will certainly draw some attention.
Obviously I wanted Tucker to ask Putin about the biolabs in Ukraine, but as I stated yesterday, this topic might be too far of a jump down the rabbit hole for those new to this realm. This interview seemed to be an introductory first impression to appeal to Western citizens and disprove the MSM-created perception of Putin.
Anyone who watched the interview objectively would have to agree that Putin is not the monster we were told he was, and negotiations can be made if there is competency from US leadership. Hopefully this will change the perception of the US being innocent darlings in the conflict, and can eventually lead to mass realization that the US/NATO are the ones who brought war and weapons to Russia’s doorstep via espionage and CIA color revolutions.
