What emoluments clause? Mike Pence staying at a Trump hotel in Ireland many miles from Dublin where he's doing business

Now we know for certain that this was done at the President’s request.

Pence said he’s footing the bill himself. /outcry.

No he didn’t.

Yes he did. He’s footing the bill for all of his family that came along.

Link please. I did a google search but was unable to find anything.

Though I did read a Pence spokesman say that the unique footprint of Pences trip was the reason why Trumps hotel was used. LOL gosh I am sure I have heard this before.

Ethics and compliance at its most basic level tells you to avoid even the perception of unethical behavior.

If this was a democrat President I would be saying the same thing and that is what bothers me, Trump jas lowered the bar for future presidents fo get away with this crap.

Would it be so hard for Trump to say he does not want anyone part of his administration to use his hotels when traveling on business.

It’s a news story I listened to a couple of days ago. The conference is near their ancestral home so the extended family all came along, he/they are paying their own bill.

There isn’t a sniff of scandal here.

Sorry mate but without a link what you are saying is unverifiable. If Pence is footing the bill for his family then there should be a link to a source that can confirm this.

I honestly don’t care. Like 99% of the daily outrages this one will be dead and gone in two weeks because there never was anything illegal or unethical going on here.

Then why even post in the thread? Seems bizarre to post in a thread on a topic you dont care about.

What I don’t care about is what you are or aren’t willing to accept.

You’re convinced there’s corruption and scandal behind every door and around every corner and nothing is going to convince you otherwise so it’s not worth my time to go digging for the story.

Here:

Short explained that the trip followed “normal protocol” and was approved by the State Department. The vice president plans to pay all family expenses for his mother and sister, Short later added.

Will that soothe the ache?

If Gays were “like everyone else” they wouldn’t be gay.

It’s not like this administration is full of liars or anything like that.

/d’arc

Cheers thats all I asked for in the first place.

I like it when Trump supporters are subservient. :grin:

I’m not subservient, the story came across again and I slightly tweaked the search criteria and that was the first thing to come up.

I’d like to personally thank you for all your hard work and research. You are an asset.

10 seconds of swapping windows, typing clicking, cutting and pasting doesn’t require much effort or produce a lot of sweat.

It’s still commendable. And I sir, commend you.

I asked for a link and you provided. As i said cheers mate.
