Remember the emoluments clause of the Constitution? Well, the democrats sure don’t.
This from westernjournal.com.
During the first few years of President Donald Trump’s administration, viewers who flipped to MSNBC on any random weeknight were liable to see Article I, Section 9, Paragraph 8 of the Constitution being flashed on the screen:
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
Don’t use your office to grift from foreign countries, jerks.
[T]he man who had poured rivers of his personal fortune into his presidential campaign and turned his last name from the stamp of ostentatious luxury into a divisive political tripwire had really just mounted this whole exercise so he could bequeath Trump hotels in Moscow, Jeddah and Pyongyang to Jared and Ivanka. (Or whatever.)
Four years of extensive financial archaeological work on the part of the journalistic establishment failed to dig up any evidence of the mythical city of Trump Emoluments.
Some conservatives haven’t forgotten what it means, however—including Texas Rep. Troy Nehls, an outspoken Republican who has called the move “impeachable.”
To note another Obiden regime destructive measure the following is a brief history lesson:
This was already a controversial move, given the Strategic Petroleum Reserve—which is intended for use in the event of wars and natural disasters—had dropped in May to its lowest level since 1987, according to Reuters.
As Fox News host Tucker Carlson pointed out in a monologue last week, Obiden was releasing more oil from the reserve now than President George H.W. Bush did during Operation Desert Storm in 1991 or President George W. Bush in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
[A]ll to protect the Democratic Party from getting what it deserves in the midterm elections in November.
But wait, it gets worse—that oil isn’t just going to the United States. Much of it is going to China—including to one suspicious company in particular.
On Thursday, the Washington Free Beacon noted that 950,000 barrels from the SPR would be going to Unipec, according to a contract signed in April. That’s the trading arm of China Petrochemical Corporation, or Sinopec, a wholly nationalized Chinese petroleum concern.
Bloomberg reported:
But as the war rages on, Unipec has continued to purchase Russian oil.
In May, for example, the company ‘significantly increased the number of hired tankers to ship a key crude from eastern Russia.’
That decision came roughly one month after Unipec said it would purchase ‘no more Russian oil going forward’ once ‘shipments that have arrived in March and due to arrive in April’ were fulfilled.
The Free Beacon reported in March that Hunter Biden “may still hold an indirect investment in Sinopec.”
Remember all those calls for impeachment of Trump under the emoluments clause? Yeah, about that, Rep. Nehls wrote in a Friday tweet:
While you are paying FIVE DOLLARS a gallon at the pump and struggling to pay your electricity bill, Biden just sold one million barrels of our reserved oil to China so his family can make a buck.
This is impeachable.https://t.co/tkxnr6jkD2

Carlson also thinks this is impeachable, noting that:
China also happens to be longtime business partner of the Biden family and that the bar for impeachment has been lowered substantially by Democratic tantrums during the Trump years.
He said:
Now, a functioning Congress would investigate this immediately. The last president was impeached for what? Having a phone call with some corrupt Ukrainian politician.
But no, they can’t be bothered. They’re still yelping about ‘Jan. 6th was an insurrection.’ They’re trying to ban your hunting rifle.
This investigation won’t come, however—at least not with this Congress.
Since the democrats control the House, they’re not the least worried about this petroleum deal, or the voicemail that proved Joe Biden lied about talking with his son regarding his Chinese business dealings.
They won’t look into that email on Hunter’s laptop involving a business deal with China that talked about Hunter holding 10 percent of the equity “for the big guy,” or the fact that a business partner of Hunter’s says “the big guy” was Joe Biden.
And naturally, the mainstream media that howled at every hint of alleged misbehavior in the Trump family has no interest in looking twice at anything that could make the Bidens look bad.
Come November, however, much of this may very well change. The importance of the emoluments clause may be resurrected.
Keep in mind, however, the Red Wave is the Republican Party’s to lose.
And there are many suspicious minds out there who anticipate a ‘Flag’ whether false or true to give The Regime rationale for Martial Law and the cancelling of the November elections.
Don’t hold your breath as a result of expectation. The only things constant are change and democrat corruption.
