DOJ: Trump can accept payments from foreign governments

22. The DOJ brief totally ignores those glaring facts.

They appear to just assume all transactions were for market value.

The DOJ attorneys even have the nerve to cite to Barack Obama's full 2009 tax return (without any sense of irony!) in noting that Obama made money from the sale of his book and that some of that had to be foreign money since his book was found in foreign libraries. (See footnote 65, page 46 of the DOJ brief at the above link.) But of course, they don't point out that Obama did not jack up the price of his book once he became president; nor did he charge foreign entities more than anyone else, if he charged them anything. Nor do they point out that most of the money he made from book sales, along with all of the cash he got for his Nobel Prize, went to charity, which Obama's 2009 tax return confirms and attaches a letter from the Nobel Prize committee stating the charities it sent his prize money to.
