Except the conflicts of interest law only extends to formal equity - so that’s what would actually be at issue. ANY person can profit from any company off the books - it’s largely not preventable. I have a small company and I also use the profits from it to send money to my parents for expenses - by that standard, my…

Because YOU are the one who came all up on this thread claiming something that I pointed out is easily refutable. That puts it on YOU to prove it - not on anybody else to refute it. That’s called the burden of proof (but since you’re pretty open about never having cracked a law book in your life, I suppose that…

You have to PAY for the documents. The website will generally only disclose basics, like date of formation and show a list of filings - not the filings themselves. So you might have to pony up for the details (which is true in most states, because they have to make money somehow). But nice try, slick ;)

Frankly, I find you funny - so why stop? You are the one who is preaching some kind of conspiracy despite the fact that I pointed out how easy it would be to disprove what you’ve alleged. So, please, by all means, continue ;)

Then it’s a good thing I always bought into the narrative of a self-important know-it-all who refuses to accept a reasonable explanation instead of their own self-determined delusions, so that’s a good thing.

My personal relationships are fine, but that’s probably because I have relationships with generally intelligent folk who don’t shoot off about things they don’t actually know about. But maybe that’s just me!

I said generally because the rules often do not apply to corporations that are extremely old - they were often grandfathered in under updated rules. Ivana’s corporation can certainly be no older than about 10-15 years, so that would not be the case for her.

Not for me - Harris failed massively to take one of the few chances to actually go after Steve Munchin in California and still has never explained why she opted to do so.

Before anybody puts her in the 2020 pool, you should read up on her adamant refusal to prosecute the bank headed by Steve Munchin (the current nominee for Treasury Secretary) back in 2013 for exploiting loopholes in California’s foreclosure laws. And before you cry “prosecutorial discretion,” it should be noted that…

Did he not notice that almost every single other man who has the job seems to age before the nation’s eyes? Obama looked like he put on a good 15 years in 8 - and W. didn’t fair much better. How did he miss that?

Man, you really are new at this, aren’t you?

Except I’m not the one who made the contentions to begin with. See, that’s how that works - it’s YOUR job to PROVE your contentions. I stated that it’s pretty easy to see who has a financial stake in a company - just go to Sec. of State where they incorporated (not FOIA, as you suggest - that’s another tell you don’t…

“Of course, I can’t prove it”

So it’s basically just a feeling you have? That may well be true, but like I said, we would need evidence of his having some kind of enrichment from her business. Right now, we have none.

See my other reply; her organizational docs (available for public review) would spell out the stakeholders and how the revenue stream is divvied up. Anybody can see this, and I presume at least one intelligent journalist has.

Anybody can obtain the organizational documents for the company from the secretary of state of the state it incorporated in (and I would presume that somebody already did this). If Donald owned a portion of the company, or had an entitlement to some of the revenue, the org docs would spell that out. And seeing as how…

Counseled? BS. My husband, back in his student days (okay, 2010) worked for the Census Bureau. Like, a very low-level, basic job. Absolutely nothing impressive. They put them (the entry-level people) through a basic class on the Hatch Act, government ethic standards, etc. - all about how you couldn’t go on Facebook…

Technically, Ivanka is allowed to maintain her equity in her own company because she is not a government employee, so she doesn’t violate any established laws by maintaining it. The Trump Organization is another animal due to its connections to her father and her husband, both of whom hold actual offices in the…

The problem with the name is that almost all names increase in value when they become associated with a presidency administration. Monica Lewinsky founded a line of handbags soon after Clinton left office - I think it was pretty clear to everyone involved that she was trying to capitalize off the increase in value and…

But that happens with all administrations. The Obama name technically has greater value now as well - the difference is that the Obamas are not immediately chomping at the bit to capitalize on it.
