And secondly, the emoluments clause does not make exceptions for the income of corrupt businessmen (and the emoluments clause did not apply to Biden when he was out of government). Indeed, a great deal of Trump's emoluments derived from properties (e.g., the DC Trump hotel) acquired through fraudulent business practices.

And now that we find out that Trump enriched himself by ~$8 million in foreign money while president (prohibited by the Constitution without specific Congressional consent) and that this only represents the first 2 years of his presidency, 4 of his 500 business entities and 20 of 191 nations. IOW, this $8 million is the tip of the iceberg, yet your boy, Comer Pyle, deliberately halted any investigation into it (or Kushner's $2 billion).

In contrast, Hunter Biden (and by extension Joe Biden) has been thoroughly investigated by DOJ for 5 years (with nary a whimper of "witch hunt" or accusations of weaponization by Trump's DOJ (who initiated the investigation and had a record of weaponization (the Durham investigation)) with no criminal behavior from Joe Biden alleged (for that matter, Comer hasn't even alleged any specific criminal behavior by Joe Biden).

You are such a credulous MAGAMoron that you're simply incapable of realizing that Comer's folly is nothing other than a dishonest, ham-handed attempt to create some Biden equivalency to Trump's rampant criminality. Abe Lincoln (and P.T. Barnum) were right about people like you - you can indeed fool some of the people all of the time.

The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who does not care about truth or reality but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. There are people who no matter how much evidence we present to them, are not in the capacity to understand. And others are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment and all they want to be is right even though they are not.
