Is Trump an Asset of Russia (Or Some Other Foreign Power)?

[Lance_Turbo]

Here’s a post of mine from the thread mentioned earlier that touched on Trump money laundering.

More on money laundering…

Maybe Trump is innocent, but there sure does appear to be an awful lot of money laundering going on in buildings with Trump’s name on them.

Trump’s Russian Laundromat

It’s a long article and worth a read. Here’s a sample paragraph…

But even without an investigation by Congress or a special prosecutor, there is much we already know about the president’s debt to Russia. A review of the public record reveals a clear and disturbing pattern: Trump owes much of his business success, and by extension his presidency, to a flow of highly suspicious money from Russia. Over the past three decades, at least 13 people with known or alleged links to Russian mobsters or oligarchs have owned, lived in, and even run criminal activities out of Trump Tower and other Trump properties. Many used his apartments and casinos to launder untold millions in dirty money. Some ran a worldwide high-stakes gambling ring out of Trump Tower—in a unit directly below one owned by Trump. Others provided Trump with lucrative branding deals that required no investment on his part. Taken together, the flow of money from Russia provided Trump with a crucial infusion of financing that helped rescue his empire from ruin, burnish his image, and launch his career in television and politics. “They saved his bacon,” says Kenneth McCallion, a former assistant U.S. attorney in the Reagan administration who investigated ties between organized crime and Trump’s developments in the 1980s.

Besides that article there’s also this guy who may know what he’s talking about. “You realize where this is going. This is all about money laundering. Mueller chose [senior prosecutor Andrew] Weissmann first and he is a money-laundering guy. Their path to f***ing Trump goes right through Paul Manafort, Don Jr., and Jared Kushner. . . . It’s as plain as a hair on your face,” Wolff quotes Bannon saying.
