Judge rules against Trump on his claims of ‘absolute immunity’ in lawsuits - GoFuckYourself.com

Another day and Trump supporters are reminded that nobody is above the law and Trump is reminded again that America is not a dictatorship

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/05/tru...payments-suit/

Trump’s legal team previously sought to have the case tossed out but U.S. District Judge Peter Messitte in Greenbelt, Maryland, last month let it proceed even as he narrowed the claims only to those related to Trump’s hotel in downtown Washington.

President Donald Trump has again asked a U.S. court to dismiss a suit accusing him of flouting constitutional safeguards against corruption by refusing to separate himself from his business empire while in office, claiming “absolute immunity.”

The lawsuit, filed by the state of Maryland and the District of Columbia, accused Trump of violating the U.S. Constitution’s “emoluments” clause that bars U.S. officials from accepting gifts or other payments from foreign governments without congressional approval. The same clause also bars the president from receiving gifts and payments from individual states.

It's great the legal system maintains that Trump is not above the law, even as POTUS

Yep. His may have been able to bully, bribe, "fix" and sue his way out of trouble in New York. He can't do that now!

I like how Rudy said Ivanka was "off limits" yesterday on Fox News.... Um, no, she is in fact not off limits. No one is above the law, and this includes the President and the President's daughter.

It's like he was sending dog whistles to the DOJ of the rules to the game they are willing to play with the least resistance.
