James CLAPPER: Could Be 'Other Shoes To Drop' In The Russia Investigation Involving Trump's Finances
Business Insider ^ | 2-17-2018 | Bryan Logan

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.

What a pathetic turn of events ... where we learn that the national intelligence and law enforcement apparatus of this country was brought to the table to combat -- get ready, folks -- people setting up Facebook and Twitter accounts with fake names.

If I worked in any of these agencies, I would have jumped off a bridge on my way home from work last evening.

NOTE TO BRIAN LOGAN, AUTHOR

The investigation investigates collusion. None so far. It is not an investigation of Trump's finances as you titled your article.

Do you often make believe you are a journalist?

Okay, if it’s not his politics or sex life, it must be his finances. Or how he drinks water or eats icr cream or his hair. IT MUST BE SOMETHING!! Sounds like desperation.

That CNN have hired Klapper and muzzie Brennan are strong evidence that Zucker is a co-conspirator with the Deep State to overthrow Trump.

Mueller and his merry band of Stalinists are following Uncle Joe's maxim: "Show me the man and I will show you the crime."

Rosenstein's mandate to Mueller was simple: "Get Trump."

But if there was anything to be found, it would have been leaked long before now.

You are obviously a partisan, not a journalist. Shme on you and BUSINESS INSIDER for such a biased article.

They’re getting nervous now...the Gang of 13 is being laughed out of DC, and Trump may be just about ready to put a knife in this ‘investigation’.

Some dimwit holding up a “happy birthday” sign?

How can other shoes drop when there hasn’t been a single shoe drop yet? All we see are shoe boxes, shoe horns, and shoo-flies.

But no shoes.

Clapper is a dirty rotten traitor. He was leaking classified intel and unmasking against Trump.

He is all in for Clinton and the Dems. A real investigation should focus on him, Brennan at CIA, Susan Rice, Lynch- basically the whole Obama cabal.

>>And threads like this keep the nonsense alive.

You over-estimate the power of FR. All of FReepdom represent a tiny sliver of the population and the nonsense is being kept alive out there in the GenPop. We just like to stay informed of the over-emotional hype that the media is feeding the GenPop because we don’t waste our time watching the MSM.
