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.

The other shoes to drop better match the pantsuit of a cloven-hooved Democrat candidate in the 2016 election. Looking at finances? Really? And not look at the millions of Rubles piped to Billary - from Russia with love?
Spoken like a true Deep Stater.. Leak Leak Leak.. Dream dream Dream.. The Left and their operatives are lower than whale poop in the ocean.
In addition to government investigators there are tens of thousands of woodwork and bernstein wannabes out there looking to make a name for themselves. Crapper committed perjury but more important he was in charge of a program violating our rights. An high level anonymous source has reported that Clapper buggers baby baboons. This must be investigated because of the seriousness of the charge. Where is PETA?
Still looking for that “magic thread” that will lead back to Donald Trump, and therefore be cause for his removal from office.
Well, now, if it was not direct “collusion” (whatever sort of crime that may be), then obviously, something else very illegal was going on. And it must have something to do with the fact that the Trump organization has international ties involving money transfers, and if it leads back to Russia, well, that’s international, isn’t it?
Logic is not James Clapper’s strong suit.
and don’t forget the supreme Nigerian also known as the magic Negro.
“James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence”..
How the hell did HE get that position, he’s dumber than a fence post.........Oh, am I right, another odumbo appointee?
Clapper couldn’t run away fast enough when Trump got elected. Must have a lot to hide.
Makes perfect sense!
Wonder how many Oregonian know Wyden lives in New York!
The guy is a bum...and likely traitor.
He does? Interesting.
Clapper could be going to jail?
Clapper is going to be going to jail!
...and the hammer COULD FALL ON CLAPPER! Could, would, might, maybe, supposedly ... I hate these words. Almost always are fake news click bait.
James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence, was asked by Diane Sawyer, “London, how serious is it? Any implications that it was coming here?” She raised this question because of a terrorist strike in London earlier that day. Clapper was unable to respond. It was the first he had heard of it. In Clapper’s defense, Deputy National Security Advisor, John Brennen, stated, “I am glad that Jim Clapper is not sitting in front of the TV 24 hours a day.” Apparently, the Director of National Intelligence does not even consult the media on intelligence matters. Events like this prompted Volker Perthes, director of the German Institute for International Security Affairs in Berlin to state, “Everyone is extremely skeptical about U.S. intelligence revelations.”
Fake news.
These nimrods better be careful.
One of the most pervasive acts of criminality in the Obama Administration was government officials creating email, facebook and twitter account to illegally communicate in secret to further their hidden agendas out of the official government email network to avoid FOIA requests and internal scrutiny.
Hillary's illegal bathroom server was just the tip of the iceberg on the Obama Administration's clandestine communications network.
A lot off Top Secret info was transmitted on these unsecured google and yahoo accounts and a lot of conspiratorial issues were discussed in private
Which Nigerian would that be?
Congress needs to file perjury charges against Clapper and Brennan for lying, under oath, to Congress.
