"What did Merrick Garland do for four years?"
Merrick Garland refused to prosecute Donald Trump for his #January6th coup attempt, and for crimes documented in the #MuellerReport, and for his violations of the #EmolumentsClause. Garland delayed prosecuting Trump for other crimes long enough for Trump to escape justice.

Let's take a deep, cleansing breath and call this #LuxuryJet from #Qatar exactly what it is:
"Baksheesh (from Persian: بخشش bakhshesh[1]) ... and certain forms of political corruption and bribery in the Middle East and South Asia. "
These are Arabians
They know exactly who #Trump is
They know exactly what they are doing
They know exactly what they're going to get -- for starters
Trump does not
Trump gets played for the fool he is -- once again
Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baksheesh

Sold new, a commercial Boeing 747-800 costs ~$400M.
#Trump’s own private plane is an older 757 jet that first flew in the early 1990s & was then used by the #Microsoft co-founder #PaulAllen. Trump bought it in 2011. The Qatari jet would give him a substantially newer plane for his own use.The plan is expected to be announced in the coming days, as Trump makes the first extended foreign trip of his presidency to 3 nations in the #MiddleEast, including #Qatar.

Donald Trump Jr’s next stop was #Serbia, where the #Trump family is planning a new hotel on land owned by the #government there. He met w/ President #AleksandarVucic, whose admin approved the hotel project, which also includes Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, as the developer. “No one has ever said that we are inhospitable: We prepared this pig for Donald Jr Trump,” Vucic boasted on his FB page, about his meal w/Trump.

This is 1 of 6 #RealEstate projects now planned in the #MiddleEast, sponsored by #DarGlobal, the international subsidiary of a #Saudi-based real estate firm with close ties to the #SaudiRoyalFamily. The other projects are in #SaudiArabia, #Oman & #Dubai.
“They always arrive at the word ‘yes,’ which is a beautiful thing,”Eric #Trump said while in Dubai this past wk, saying that it took only a month to get the required real estate permits from the govt there…

The founding members of the club, which has already sold many of its membership slots acc/to organizers, include Cameron & Tyler #Winklevoss, the #cryptocurrency execs whose company, #GeminiTrust, had been targeted by the #SEC until #Trump named new agency leaders, who in April put a hold on the federal lawsuit.

Just in the past 10 days, #DonaldTrumpJr made stops in #Hungary, #Romania, #Serbia & #Bulgaria on a paid-speech tour he has called “Trump Business Vision 2025,” which also included visits w/ #ForeignGovernment leaders & #political candidates. During roughly the same time, #EricTrump was shuttling among #Qatar, the #UAE & other #MiddleEast spots to push the family’s #RealEstate & #crypto plans.

“If the government of #Yemen buys up oodles of #memecoins, we won’t know,” says Lisa Bragança, attorney at Bragança Law & fmr branch chief at the #SEC. “If it’s a #UtilityCoin &, say, a representative of #Russia shows up for dinner with the president, we know it’s an #emoluments issue.”
-
…The act of transmuting his #cryptocurrency into a #UtilityCoin is unlikely to have immediate #regulatory implications for #Trump. [not coincidentally] In Feb, the #SEC …made clear that it does not consider #memecoins to fall within its jurisdiction. Likewise, during Trump’s first term, the agency reached a similar conclusion about utility coins.
-
…The dinner gambit puts the #TRUMP coin in a different class entirely. In establishing an explicit #QuidPrQuo — a large investment in exchange for an audience — the maneuver has effectively turned TRUMP into a #UtilityCoin, an asset that bestows on holders some perk or advantage.
…The expectation of further opportunities to spend time w/Trump may continue to prop up the price.
