James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence said he believes there could be "other shoes to drop" in the Russia probe, which took a dramatic turn on Friday after new charges against multiple Russian nationals and entities were announced.
"I think there are other shoes to drop here — notably finances," Clapper said during a CNN interview Friday night. "I think that's going to be another profound thing that's going to come out about this."
"What were the financial relationships between the Trump Organization before the election and the Trump campaign," Clapper said. He clarified that he isn't personally aware of any forthcoming developments, but highlighted what he called the "methodical, systematic, disciplined approach" Mueller's investigative team is taking with regard to the investigation.
Mueller is deep into a multifaceted probe of Russian interference, and whether the Trump campaign cooperated with the Kremlin, among other elements.
One of those elements is Trump's relationship with Deutsche Bank, which has been a subject of scrutiny, as have the financial dealings of Trump's associates, including Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law.
As part of an inquiry of Deutsche Bank, US investigators have also reportedly sought information about whether the German bank sold some Trump-connected debt to the Russian state-owned bank, VEB. Kushner met with the head of that bank, Sergey Gorkov, in New York during the transition period in December 2016.

Uranium One was small potatoes.
This was ORIGINALLY POSTED BY freeper Liz:
While serving as Obama's secretary of state, Hillary Clinton oversaw a program meant to “reset” relations with Moscow and improve ties. The program centered around the Russian city of Skolkovo near Moscow with the stated aim of “identifying areas of cooperation and pursuing joint projects and actions that strengthen strategic stability, international security, economic well-being, and the development of ties between the American and Russian people.”
Obama had Hillary's State Dept program transform Skolkovo into a technology hub akin to a Silicon Valley. Sensitive American technology was transferred to the Russians, substantially enhancing their military and cyber capabilities.
Hillary said they wanted to "help" Russia.
The US Army and the FBI concluded that Russia had exploited the program for military applications. The FBI warned American technology companies doing business in Skolkovo that the Skolkovo project was a means by which the Russians would acquire dual use technologies and apply them for military ends.
According to investigative author Peter Schweizer, Russian and American companies and individuals involved in the Skolkovo fiasco “had major financial ties to the Clintons.”
Moreover, during the Russian reset period, those entities provided the Clintons with “tens of millions of dollars” in the form of “contributions to the Clinton Foundation, paid for speeches by Bill Clinton, or investments in small start-up companies with deep Clinton ties.”
I think people are starting to look at some of Clinton's 'stuff'... she might be in a box.

That Clapper is able to make these threats shows how limited a control POTUS has on the Deep State. They really just do whatever they want. He really is riding a tiger here.
“multifaceted probe”
Hmmm. Maybe Mr. Clapper needs to meet a up with one of those. He has always struck me as the slimiest, and most dishonest of Washington characters.
This is the modus operandi of the Deep State - keep “speculating” about crimes you know to be non-existent. Offer no proof that they occurred, but pretend you know something that you can’t reveal in order to keep unfounded suspicions floating around in the minds of the public.
So what evidence did you plant on the way out, Mr. Clapper? There’s probably more than one “insurance policy” to defeat PJDT out there.
Hes just trying to become “relevent” in the Russia fairy tale, so the recused Sessions can’t mess with him...book it
That and I suspect the guy is extremely stupid, much like Comey. I think Obama wanted idiots running intel and FBI.

Testing the limits of tolerance afforded monthly donors is not wise, unless you actually do want to get yourself banned. Some don’t wish to have their donations known or publicized, you know.
He’s always seemed a little trollish to me.
Agree 100%.
True: Tell us you sad, sorry, scum for FBI and INTEL types all about the BI you did on Obama? Had you done a BI for even a TS for the imposter you would never have given the Kenyan Muslim any security clearance.
