Is it legal for a foreign country to gift a $400 million plane to the President of the United States for his personal use? Not according to the Constitution, Article I, Section 9, Clause 8:

The prohibition against foreign gifts to the President or other office holder, absent Congressional approval, is "the only ethics and conflicts rule that was put directly in the Constitution by the founders and the framers."

 And yet, according to reports, Attorney General Pam Bondi (R) has concluded that the transfer of the plane from Qatar to the Defense Department and then to the Trump Presidential Library is legally permissible.

 How did Bondi come to this conclusion? Her rationale has not been publicly released. But we do know that, before joining Trump's political operation, Bondi represented the Qatari Government as a foreign agent in a $115,000 per month contract between Qatar and Bondi's former employer, the Trump-connected lobbying firm Ballard Partners.

If Qatar transfers the plane to Trump, the complex process of outfitting the plane with the security features to serve as Air Force One will reportedly go to L3Harris, a military contractor. L3Harris recently hired Ballard Partners to lobby the federal government on its behalf for "business development."

When Comer starts looking into THIS ****....

Title is a question, hence hiding. As always, no intelligent thoughts of his own

Let's save time-here is my response to your upcoming question: There is no **** rule. I am simply humiliating you. If you don't like being humiliated, then you have 2 options:
1. Do better
2. Come up with your own damn rule about it.
