The documents were filed to the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board in Washington to alert the board that oversees liquor licenses at Trump’s D.C. hotel of the change in the business.

The documents show that Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, and Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization’s chief financial officer, were placed in legal control of the trust on Jan. 19, one day before Trump took office.

But they outline that the trust’s purpose is “to hold assets for the exclusive benefit of Donald J. Trump,” who “has the power to revoke the Trust.”

The records provide documentary evidence of what ethics experts have been warning about since before Trump took office.

3. No documentation that he has adhered to the Emoluments Clause

How many times has the Logan Act been violated?

He's at strike 2 on the Hatch Act.

We need to stop paying attention to his tweets and stop his lawless activities no one is talking about.

4. tRump providing Congress plenty of ammo to take him down with...

When his approval ratings are in the teens - GOP will impeach - to work with the more manageable President Pence.

5. I figure if Trump's approval ratings

get down to less than 25%, they GOP might move to impeach him - at that point, they may calculate he poses an existential risk.

8. They will keep him until they get their wish list finished. Then, when they

are ready to be rid of him, they will expose even more things that will undermine his support with the base and will use that material and the many other reasons he has accumulated to either impeach him or remove him via Article 25.

7. So why can't we remove him from office?

He clearly thinks he is above the law.
