Day 30. In a way I feel like we’re back where we started.

This morning I read that Trump does not  plan to divest himself of his real estate holdings. Some of the reasons this is a problem:

• Possible violation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution.
• Possible violation of the contract with the General Services Administration to lease the Old Post Office for his Washington, DC hotel. (Specifically clause 37.19 on page 103 in part 2, forbidding any “elected official” from “any benefit” arising from the lease.)
• The appearance of a conflict, which undermines public confidence in his decisions.

So today I’ll email the GSA at media@gsa.gov, and ask them to end the lease.

I’m feeling very frustrated to be back at the beginning again. It’s been a month. But I’m going to stay in this fight. It’s worth it to me because I can’t live with the thought of giving up.

I hope you’ll stay in too.
