Lockup Trump

The Case for him to be Imprisoned

Trump violated the Constitution on Day one

• "The Emoluments Clause is a provision in the Constitution that prohibits federal officials from receiving money or gifts from foreign governments without congressional approval. As Harvard Law School professor Laurence Tribe recently wrote in a legal brief, Trump “appears to be on a direct collision course with the Emoluments Clause.” (source)
• "An all-star team of lawyers, including two leading experts on presidential ethics and two of the most prominent constitutional scholars in the nation, will file a lawsuit on Monday challenging President Trump’s ongoing violation of an anti-corruption provision in the Constitution." (source)
• "...recently unearthed documents show that Trump is nonetheless the sole beneficiary of the so-called "Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust," raising serious conflict of interest concerns over a solution that had already been blasted as precarious by ethics experts. Furthermore, Trump is able to revoke the authority held by his sons and Weisselberg at any point." (source)

He Betrayed his Country to Russia

• The FBI cautioned four years ago that a foundation controlled by Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg might be a conduit for Russian espionage, NPR reports.
  ...Vekselberg’s name has resurfaced in the news due to a $500,000 payment a subsidiary company he owns made to Michael Cohen, President Trump's personal lawyer. (source)
• "Two British political operatives were in regular contact with the Russian ambassador in London while they campaigned for, and met with, Donald Trump in the United States in 2016, a review of emails and social media posts shows." (source)

• A senior National Security Council official proposed withdrawing some U.S. military forces from Eastern Europe as an overture to Vladimir Putin during the early days of the Trump presidency, according to two former administration officials. While the proposal was ultimately not adopted, it is the first known case of senior aides to Donald Trump seeking to reposition U.S. military forces to please Putin—something that smelled, to a colleague, like a return on Russia’s election-time investment in President Trump.

• "Senator John McCain passed documents to the FBI director, James Comey, last month alleging secret contacts between the Trump campaign and Moscow and that Russian intelligence had personally compromising material on the president-elect himself. " (source)
• Barry R McCaffrey, Retired Four Star US Army General: 
  "Reluctantly I have concluded that President Trump is a serious threat to US national security. He is refusing to protect vital US interests from active Russian attacks. It is apparent that he is for some unknown reason under the sway of Mr Putin." (source)
• Former Tea-Party, Republican Congressman denounced Donald Trump, his deputies for "lying" "over and over" again about their involvement  Russia. He also criticized his former colleagues for attacking the FBI and Justice Dept in defense of Trump. They will "regret" that decision. (source)
• "Human rights lawyer Scott Horton, whose work in the region goes back to defending Andrei Sakharov and other Soviet dissidents, has gone through a series of studies by the Financial Times to show how funds from Russian crime lords bailed Trump out after yet another bankruptcy." (source)
• "Donald Trump has betrayed his nation so often that now, the act of reporting such travails seem almost trivial....The real traitor was always in the White House. And it’s time we called his foreign policy what it is." (source)
