For the Record: Bribery

Me, yesterday:

Donald's making something out of this. Maybe just increased business at the DC hotel with guests looking for administration favors, but something for sure https://t.co/lsHwu0qWxg

Steve, this morning:

The Constitution doesn't limit the reasons for impeachment to "high Crimes and Misdemeanors" - the full phrase is "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

This is bribery.https://t.co/uWa3OI8G0C

I knew there'd be something sleazy. And then, via Crooks & Liars (my bold):

As HuffPost noted, the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, found that Trump’s nearby Washington, D.C. hotel, which he still owns and profits from, is sold out for the 3rd and 4th despite charging double what the other luxury hotels are charging around the holiday.

How neatly that works with the fact that, as even Fox correspondent Ellison Barber reported, “The White House is reportedly giving some VIP tickets to Republican donors.”

Gee, where might those donors dine or stay if they’re from out of town?
