Looks like Mick Mulvaney got taken to the woodshed

No Biden...
Correct, stupid Mulvaney admitted to it being the DNC server issue he was holding money up for ...

That's illegal

Mick Mulvaney: (21:09)
And the president did not like that. I know [inaudible 00:21:11] long answer your question, but I’m still going. So those were the driving factors. Did he also mention to me in the past, the corruption related to the DNC server? Absolutely. No question about that. But that’s it. And that’s why we held up the money.

He retracted nothing. You are lying, again.........
As always, you display deplorable dishonesty....


Washington (CNN) — White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney made a stunning admission Thursday by confirming that President Donald Trump froze nearly $400 million in US security aid to Ukraine in part to pressure that country into investigating Democrats.

Hours later, Mulvaney then denied ever saying those words....

After weeks during which Trump denied the existence of any political quid pro quo in his withholding of security aid to Ukraine, Mulvaney confirmed the existence of a quid pro quo and offered this retort: "Get over it."
"We do that all the time with foreign policy," Mulvaney said of the influence of politics in the Trump administration.

Then on Thursday evening, Mulvaney attempted to claim that he did not admit to the quid pro quo despite clearly being asked if the Trump administration withheld funding for Ukraine for an investigation into the DNC server and answering affirmatively.

There is nothing wrong with what Mulvaney said, and you don't seem capable of highlighting what the problem is. :)
We agree, there was nothing wrong with Mick said ... Mick was telling the truth about Trumps

Emoluments violations
Holding up foreign funds for his own benefit
Admitting that they were holding up funds to look into the DNC server

There's nothing wrong with Mulvaney telling the truth about Trumps crimes

But to be clear, what you just described is a quid pro quo. It is funding will not flow unless the investigation into into the Democratic server happened as well.

Mick Mulvaney: (22:35)
We do that all the time with foreign policy
. We were holding up money at the same time for what was it? The Northern triangle countries. We were holding up aid at the Northern triangle countries so that they would change their policies on immigration.

Funny. He didn't mention Ukraine there.

We agree ...

Mulvaney intimated Ukraine here along with DNC server being the reason the funds were held up...

Looks like you need this explained to you.

Think of a gift as a substitute word for emolument.
No. He’s not being given a present. he already owns Doral.
He’s not getting any kind of a gift by hosting the G7 at his golf club.
Nobody’s trying to bribe him by coming to Doral or any of his other properties.

He’s announced that everything is going to be at cost.
The government will pay only what it costs to put the event on.
There will not be any profit.


SO. Now, Unless you are being intentionally ignorant- NOW you see why you are wrong to parrot the emoluments clause.
 
Uh, first off, you’re not making any profit.
So
It isn't.
Profit is not relevant, Red Don benefits even if they pay cost without profit and anyone who's being looking at anything other than MAGA Cult propaganda outlets knows this.

There are a number of Trump properties that aren't even covering cost because they're infested with bugs and other nasty shit, Doral is one of them.

The Doral is usually 40% full in June. It will be 100% full for the G7, with Trump stuffing his pockets with mountains of cash from the rooms, the restaurants, etc.

All as his rabble applaud his unethical, unconstitutional self-dealing.
