Once again, Republicans are obstructing and protecting.

It remains to be seen what would be revealed in Trumps financial records. Trump isn't going to be indicted for money laundering, I can tell you that right now.

Proving Trump knowingly allowed people to use his real estate to launder money is almost impossible. However, if Mueller decides to start indicting Russian nationals that used Trumps hotels for money laundering, that would damn near ruin Trump financially.

I think that's what concerns Trump the most in this investigation. Well, that, and the fact that his finances being made public would reveal he's nowhere near being a billionaire.
 

Perlnutter is still in witch hunt mode. If there's any evidence of Trump' finances as they relate to Russia and the election, Mueller will uncover them. Perlnutter is pandering to his radical Left base by attacking the President from every direction he can.

This is already being looked at by Mueller's team. Why do we have to spend more money duplicating efforts??

Mueller has not confirmed such efforts are underway.
 

What will be exposed by Mueller is the deep and long ties of Trump to Russian money. And regardless if that results in a conviction for financial crimes, once it comes out it will provide the motive for his currying favor with the Russians and why he has been so timid to Putin reacting more like his house pet than a president of our nation.
 
I don't think there's anything between Putin and Trump that's explicit.

My belief is that Trump simply understands that Russians purchase a lot of his condos and model homes, and sees being friendly to Russia as a way to get them buying even more of his real estate. Trump just sees an easy scam, which is why he's putting his own financial interests against those of the US, and refuses to enforce the sanctions on Russia that the Congress passed.
 

Trump is personally concerned about what Mueller may discover.

from your linked article Does anyone else wonder why Trump sees Mueller's examining his finances as a "violation"? A violation of what, exactly?
 
It really looks like some who comment here, don't bother to read linked articles. The NPR piece provides a decent explanation as to just why Mueller might be interested in Trump dealings with Deutsche Bank.

from the article
Then there is the fact the executive leadership of Deutsche Bank seems to have a bit of a problem with obeying the law, to have little desire to act in an ethical manner, not only in the US but in other countries also.

The House and Senate intelligence committees have already shown how partisan they are (both sides), so I don't trust them one damn bit. Also the fact that Trump basically threatened to fire Mueller if Mueller tried to look into ties with Trump and the Deutsche bank with Trumps comments saying Mueller would have crossed a "red line".

I'd say the Dems would have standing for opening such an investigation if Trump fires Mueller and it is let known that Mueller was investigating ties to the Deutsche Bank. I think they should let this go for now, but if Trump fires Mueller damn straight they should investigate.
 


seems worthy of investigation, as do many other issues. Would you like to investigate how so many elected officials become rich. How many take donations from special interests, how many lobbyists they all meet with.

or are you just interested in promoting the Putin objective?
 

I haven't been following any of that stuff. I am sick of watching politics. It is all an illusion from both sides. I see these investigations as nothing more than fishing for dirt. They either have something or they don't already. I see them as a waste of tax dollars. I can understand if Trump threatened Muller, if he honestly thinks or knows its a waste. Trump knows if he's dirty or not, and maybe he is hiding something. We may never know, but it is likely to come out at some time if he is. The senate or house can investigate at their choosing, and plenty of republicans who do not like Trump in the Oval Office. There are plenty of rich people who hate Trump who if there was enough to go on, could spend their own dime on an investigator. As for a large bank, Trump probably has ties to at least one in every civilized country. Go figure... What billionaire wouldn't?
