Coincidences abound:

Lobbyists representing the Saudi government reserved blocks of rooms at President Trump’s Washington, D.C., hotel within a month of Trump’s election in 2016 — paying for an estimated 500 nights at the luxury hotel in just three months, according to organizers of the trips and documents obtained by The Washington Post.

At the time, these lobbyists were reserving large numbers of D.C.-area hotel rooms as part of an unorthodox campaign that offered U.S. military veterans a free trip to Washington — then sent them to Capitol Hill to lobby against a law the Saudis opposed, according to veterans and organizers.

Linky.

Doesn't that suggest more than one Attorney General of a single state rather then a number of them from a number of states?

It’s a somewhat archaic title. The best way to make out how it works is to reverse the components: general attorney; general attorneys.

In other words, one is referring to multiple attorneys not multiple generals.

The word "general" is an adjective in this case, not a noun.

We have the same situation here with the title "Governor General", plural being "Governors General". I have also seen it with "Auditor General".

Well, to be fair, that's been every President's attitude since at least LBJ. Most of them weren't honest enough to come right out and admit it, though. Even the Presidents that acknowledged what needs to be done realized that there's nothing that they could do about it.

Every Republican President. It was Reagan who made it a core of their strategy.

Democratic Presidents have spent their time trying to fix the loaded-on debt while the GOP bitched and moaned about it. Look at the trajectory of the deficit during the Clinton or Obama years.

Right. Pluralize the noun, not the adjective: After the senators elect asked all the notaries public to leave, the editors-in-chief said that the current and former UN Secretaries General love going to Burger King to order Whoppers Junior.

I was NOT limiting it to tax returns, but yes, there is a serious issue here:

just because you don't like the present occupant of the White House does not mean that one should cheer on overturning the present system of checks and balances and separation of powers to stick it to the "Orange Cheeto" or whatever 'clever" names the Leftists come up with..

Further, do we really need a federal Constitutional crisis, because some glory seeking AG's want to cater to their ignorant hicks back home?

Hell no!

Wow. It sounds so scarey when you describe it. A federal Constitutional crisis resulting from the overturning of checks and balances.

The problem is that you have it entirely backwards. If the president is suspected of violating a state law, then that state’s attorney general has the right to gather evidence. If these AGs were not permitted to investigate then the system of checks and balances would be in jeopardy because the president would have the ability to break state laws with impunity.

I noticed that at the service today, all the other Presidents and wives were holding their programs in their laps. The PDJT had just tossed his on the floor in front of him.

Even for Trump that is beneath SuckyMcSuckface's low. Do you have a link I could share?

If that were likely to happen, shouldn't it have already begun?

Sounds like something that some people I'm in contact with would call "not politically correct, which is what drives Democrats crazy" and try to end it at that.

1) He couldn't read it without his glasses
2) He doesn't carry his glasses with him
3) What did it say about him?
4) No cartoons.

1 & 2 by the way are facts as seen in video testimony on one of the many occasions he was involved in losing - yet again - a civil court case.

Doug Wead, a truly great presidential historian, had a wonderful take on a very beautiful moment in history, the funeral service today of President Bush. Doug was able to brilliantly cover some very important and interesting periods of time! @LouDobbs
 
Prediction: Wead wrote a nice book about Trump hence 'great presidential historian'

Checked: Yep, wrote a book about how great Trump was for beating Hillary Clinton.

Considering Wead's penchant for taping private conversations with politicians, I'm not sure Trump would want to get too chummy with the guy.

I only caught a glimpse of it on live TV. However, to be fair, at some point others in the front row including Michelle Obama had placed theirs on the kneeler in front of them also. But as far as I know, everyone except Trump picked theirs up again and followed along with the service.

Do you have any evidence that the state AGs asking for his tax returns is a fishing expedition?

The general objection seems to be that one is simply not allowed to investigate any wrongdoing by the president until such time as one has hard evidence of wrongdoing by the president.

If the same degree of evidence was required to initiate any other criminal activity as is, according to some, required to investigate the president, then all the people that work in criminal courts would have to find new jobs.

There really does seem to be this thing whereby the side that lies cheats and steals believes the lying, cheating and stealing to be standard practice across the board so, whenever there's evidence of wrongdoing, they firmly believe it's been cooked up because that's what they'd do.
