Mueller Wants Trump’s Business Records. What’s the Russia Connection?
New York Times ^ | 17 March 2018 | BEN PROTESS, MIKE McINTIRE, STEVE EDER and JESSE DRUCKERMARCH

The investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election has expanded to include President Trump’s family business, with the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, subpoenaing the Trump Organization for documents related to Russia.

For more than 30 years, Mr. Trump has repeatedly sought to conduct business in Russia. He traveled to Moscow in 1987 to explore building a hotel. He applied for his trademark in the country as early as 1996. And his children and associates have met with Russian developers and government officials on multiple occasions in search of joint ventures.

“What’s the connection?” is right.

Everything the Times lists in this article are either normal business activities of a global real estate developer, or they have nothing to do with Trump all all. And all of them occurred before Trump entered the race.

This is getting exhausting. The hoops the media (and Mueller) will jump through...

Doing business in Russia is not a crime.

No one involved in the “special counsel” has ever given a logical, factual reason why they think the Russians would have gone all out to get Trump elected, when they had already bought and paid for Hillary and knew she would act on her behalf. Is the special counsel a tool to try to replace the elected government with one more amenable to Russian interests?

The problem is the source, The NEW YORK SLIMES, even makes my parrot barf when we line his cage with that trash, fake news, bull dung.

> What’s the Russia Connection?

From my experience working with data models, what I learned is that given enough data you can “prove” just about anything. Mueller likely has not found a connection so he needs more data.

The Special Investigation into Russian Meddling was approved in early 2017 based on facts presented at that time.

Would a Special Investigation into Russian Meddling be approved today based on facts available at this time?

I think not.

Trump needs to take a page out of the “Democrats’” playbook and tell Bobby he can have them after they can be found and they’ve been properly sanitized and any and all “troublesome” pages found by his lawyers are either removed or redacted in the name of “national security” and “the children”. Screw Mueller.

Mueller is embarrassing himself. He has investigated so long, so intensely and has nothing. Common sense says if there had been any significant collusion it would have been uncovered by now. About the best be can hope to find is that someone who knew someone in the Trump campaign ended up at the same bus stop with someone who had visited Russia years ago, and one gave the other a tic-tac.

I cant think of a time a Trump family member or business associate was ever paid $500,000 for a single speech in Russia

But I can name a former serving Secretary of State whose husband was paid $500,000 by Russia for a single speech

Imagine the title “Trump Wants Mueller’s Business Records”

There would be howls of protest by the exact same communist media that is crapping this out.

Mueller is not God, although he may think he his. He is not untouchable. It’s about time, an investigator investigated Mueller.

You are right. It is a tool to replace the elected government.

Mueller needs to be fired for gross abuse of authority.

After 1 year, he has zero evidence of his original purpose.
