"After this congress ought to pass laws prohibiting sitting presidents from hiring their immediate or any family member to government positions within washington DC."


There is a law. Trump ignored it, and his Justice department wouldn't enforce it.

The lease on the Trump Hotel said no member of the government could be on the lease. Trump ignored it, and his Justice department wouldn't enforce it.

Congress refused to fund the "wall". Trump declared a national emergency and took the money from an infrastructure budget for military families.

Congress refused to sell weapons to Saudia Arabia for their murderous and criminal campaign in Yemen. Trump declared a national emergency and delivered the weapons anyway.

Five of his cabinet secretaries (Ryan Zinke, Wilbur Ross, Elaine Chao, Alex Acosta and Robert Wilkie) were referred to DOJ by their own IGs for malfeasance and outright criminality, and his Justice department wouldn't act on any of them. (And of course neither would Merrick Garland... our own milquetoast AG)

See? It was like a pattern or something.

This would be sweet - "I'll go out on a limb here and say two or more counts are on his stealing money under
false pretense for a charity that didn't exist. Maybe another count for his using tax money to enrich his family.
"

On hiring family members to a DC government job at least there should be a much higher bar on qualifications for the job. JFK's brother was qualified.
