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

Posted on 02/17/2018 9:53:40 AM PST by blam

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.

When Clapper served in Korea they called him “Crapper”. He was a laughing stock behind the scenes.

Clapper-Trap lumbering into a trap is sooo expected.

He is on his best day an incoherent head scratcher, and always a squirming liar from the get-go. A paid shill inside the Obama cabinet. Amazing.

BLAM:
Thanks for posting this CNN review. It is better you than I who insists in watching these ‘folks’. Your contributions are always welcome: whether you believe the tripe or not. We are better prepared for the next battle in knowing what weapons might be used against us. Again, a sincere thanks.

Clap - the name says it all, STD.

There must be a glitch somewhere in some system... when hitting reply in your first post, there was no reply page, only a loop to take me back to the original post. Call me confused - but something is not right in Denmark.

James Clapper, you are a liar. You should be in jail for your blatant perjury when testifying before Congress. You lied about the government’s involvement in violating the basic civil liberties of it’s citizens.

I don’t trust a single thing you say.

"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."

Thanks. I don't respond to whiners.

Don’t fall for the gorilla dust. This is Clapper’s pathetic attempt to distract from Mueller’s absurd Russian troll indictments.

The next shoe to drop will be Clapper’s illegal unmasking of American
citizens. There is a spot in Hell waiting for Clapoer.

Clapper should already be in an orange suit, and wearing cuffs

Partner, I agree with ya. This guy Clapper looks like he should have never been trusted period.

It goes to show u that the American Hating Obama had a bunch of communists in key positions like Clapper who was the NSA director. You just can not get more crooked and dirty than Clapper.

I can top that. I’m being charged thousands of dollars for sending a form to the wrong IRS address, when their instructions at the top indicate that I didn’t really need to file the form at all

DB and almost every other large bank imcluding Bank of America was laundering Russian money years ago - long before Trump was a politician
So anyone who did business loans with any of those banks could be accused of “collusion”

Say
So was HSBC
While James Comey was getting rich as a member of the Board
James Comey wasnt a corporate bank client making business loans
He was a bank officer in 2013 right in the middle of the Russian scheme getting paid as a rainmaker by one of the dirtiest Russian money laundering banks

Clapper is most impressed with himself. He’s an arrogant toad, about to get run over by a car.
