WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh August 11th, 2017

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics and Washington's a liberal hat group.

0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:08.720
<v Speaker 1>They're known as Crew, and they claim that President Trump's

0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:13.280
<v Speaker 1>business ties conflict with the Constitutions and Monuments clause. That

0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:17.919
<v Speaker 1>clause prohibits federal officials from receiving benefits from foreign governments

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:22.120
<v Speaker 1>while they're in office. Now, if that clause literally applies,

0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:24.079
<v Speaker 1>Hillary Clinton ought to be in jail. Should to be

0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 1>locked up for it? Anyway? Oral arguments on this case

0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>are schedule for October eighteen. Before taking office, Trump divested

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>himself of his business operations, handing him over to his family.

0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:40.280
<v Speaker 1>The Trump Organization set a process to identify any profits

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 1>from foreign sources and donate that money to the Treasury.

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:46.840
<v Speaker 1>So the issue of Trumps on how profiting from foreign

0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:50.280
<v Speaker 1>government should be moot. But see, this lawsuit isn't driven

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>by concerns about Trump making money he shouldn't, and it

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>isn't motivated by a desire to follow the constitution. The

0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 1>fuel for this lawsuit is hated. This and every other

0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>court action the lives have filed is based on hate.

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:07.760
<v Speaker 1>They hate Trump, they hate that he won the election,

0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 1>they hate that they lost the election, and they're trying

0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:13.960
<v Speaker 1>to win in the courtroom what they can't win at

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>the ballot box. The problem is that there are a

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of other Democrats in court and they wear black robes,

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 1>and that means it could be tough for Trump. We

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>hope not. We'll keep a sharp eye. M
