Republican expresses outrage that the White House doesn’t keep visitor logs for Biden’s home. Does the New York Times:
Check and discover that the White House has never kept visitor logs for the private home of any President or Vice President, so this pretend outrage doesn’t pass the laugh test? Or,
Carry the GOP’s water and amplify the fake outrage, declaring that it “highlights the political danger for the President.”
@JamesGleick I doubt Trump keeps Mar-a-Lago logs. I mean, he didn't keep logs when he lived in the White House
@olavf @JamesGleick He did double the initiation fee for Mar-a-Lago to 200K in January 2017; pretty cute breaking the Emoluments Clause the moment you take office, no?
More pertinently, private clubs do check that the people coming in belong there; I'd be amazed if logs weren't kept.
@pieist emoluments seem to contemporaneously require some proof of pay for play/pay for access. His DC hotel as a reference.
Likewise Mar-a-Lago access to the premises vs access to Trump & areas where the docs lived
:/
