Where was all this concern back circa 2008?
Convenient, monumental, FAIL - as usual.

The Senate panel has requested information about President Donald Trump and his top aides from a financial intelligence unit in the Treasury Department that imposed a $10 million civil penalty on Trump Taj Mahal in 2015 for multiple violations of money-laundering laws.
The Senate Intelligence Committee wants to see any information relevant to its Russia investigation the Treasury agency has gathered, including evidence that might include possible money laundering, according to a committee aide who spoke on condition of anonymity. Also at issue: to what extent, if at all, people close to Vladimir Putin have invested in Trump's real estate empire.

Then they used taxpayer money to pay off the people who donated to clinton foundation.
THE LEVEL OF DEMOCRAT OUTRAGE IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO TRUMP'S THREAT TO THE DEEP STATE.
Meanwhile President Trump today met with Russian FM Lavrov, one of the toughest old ba$tards in the diplomatic business
That would have been an interesting discussion
Ooo ra
Where was all this concern back circa 2008?
Convenient, monumental, FAIL - as usual.

This'll give you nightmares, people.....counting up the long line of Huma's "cousins" w/ their greedy Muslim hands in the State Dept cookie jar.
UNDER HOUSE ARREST---This smirking creep is Huma's first cousin AKA a serial swindler
He subsidized businesses w/ our tax dollars looted from Hillary's State Dept. Six million dollars is missing.
EXCERPT--“Thanks for getting in touch. Would love to arrange a meeting,” Huma Abedin replied in a June 23, 2009, email to her cousin Omar Amanat and Shamil Idriss, who heads New York-based Soliya Inc.
In May 2010, then-Secy Clinton helped Soliya get access to U.N. funding by making the U.S. a participant in a U.N. high-tech media initiative called the Alliance of Civilizations. Then in October 2010, the State Department directly awarded Soliya $1.25 million for a media technology project. “Huma helped Omar make KIT appear more valuable because of its association with the Alliance of Civilizations, which was approved by Hillary and funded in part by U.S. grants (tax dollars),” said an attorney familiar with the case.
“This helped Omar raise money for KIT, which he and his brother misappropriated for other purposes. Approximately $6 million has vanished.”
Amanat took KIT Digital public in August 2009. At the time, Amanat, known as a “serial swindler,” was in personal bankruptcy and being sued by other investors. Despite his reputation, he still managed to gain special access to US government tax dollars thanks to his ties to his well-positioned cousin and the Clinton Foundation.
THE MONEY LAUNDRY Records show that Huam's cousin, Amanat, and several other Abedin family members, and related Muslim (gag) charities, have together donated as much as $1.2 million to the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative, as well as to the Clinton Health Access Initiative.
Cousin Amanat, the serial swindler, personally contributed as much as $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation; his reward was an appointment to the Council on Foreign Relations during the time that Hillary Clinton was serving as Secy of State.
While the FBI has apparently closed its espionage investigation into Clinton’s unsecured private email server (the House has reopened it), its public corruption investigation into the Clinton Foundation remains open.
It’s not clear if this still-active probe overlaps with the Amanat fraud investigation. However, investigators reportedly continue to look into alleged “pay-for-play” schemes involving the Clinton State Department and the Clinton Foundation and its wealthy donors, as well as entities that paid the Clintons millions of dollars in speaking fees.
Judicial Watch and other government watchdog groups have charged that the Clinton Foundation was a pay-for-play operation that rewarded its benefactors with State Department favors.....and cash.
Sure, just as soon as every member of congress and every appointed federal official discloses any and all business dealings with any Russian political or financial interest, going back to the beginning of time.
Won’t do that you say? Then they can shove their political witch hunt right up their collective asses!
Good work, as usual, dear Liz.
Actually, it was a settlement to make the "charges" go away... since the time this happened was right as Trump was announcing his run for president (and speculation was already out there since he didn't renew his contract for Celebrity Apprentice).
Trump Resorts International owned 50% of the hotel and the other 50% was owned by the bondholders after the earlier refinancing deal.
The "charges" stem from alleged improper reporting of transactions over $5K.... I guess when someone cashes in their gaming chips the casino has to report it to the Feds to try and catch people laundering money by buying chips then cashing them in as winnings.
The Obama admin had a long history of shaking down banks and anyone else they could get away with.
The Sands Casino in Las Vegas paid a $45 million fine for the same thing.
Resorts World Sentosa paid $190K.
Marina Bay Sands paid $337K.
Normandie Casino in Gardena CA paid $2.4 million for the same thing.

This hardly translates to "Trump was possibly money-laundering for the Russian Government" in my mind and certainly doesn't justify subpoenaing anything from him.
All the info the Senate Intel Committee needs is right here.
WikiLeaks: Tax Form Reveals Hillary's campaign chair, John Podesta,
Continued Ties to Russian Energy Company After Claiming He Divested

======================================
PODESTA/RUSSIA LINKS---A leaked Jan. 3, 2014 document shows that Podesta transferred more than 25,000 of 75,000 shares of Joule Technologies---a Russian-connected firm---to Leonidio Holdings LLC......listed w/ an address at his daughter's Megan Rouse’s Shannon Court home in Dublin, California.
Megan Rouse operates Megan Rouse Financial Planning from that same address. The inference is to money laundering, perhaps tax evasion. Suggests that Megan Rouse's father, John Podesta, hid stocks connected to Russia.

The New York Times reported the Clintons' connections thusly: "Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation
Amid Russian Uranium Deal." Plus Bill Clinton pocketed $500,000 from a Moscow investment bank for a brief speech.
Circa 2010--Ex-Pres Clinton in Moscow having a laugh w/ Putin
as strategic US uranium deposits were sold off to Russia for Big Bucks
facilitated by Secy Clinton, as Bill globe-trotted to set up the deal.
"Hahahaha. A Moscow bank paid 500,000 for my speech. And I get a commission on the deal."
"Hahahahaha. US National security? You gotta be kidding, Vlad. Hahahahaha."
=================================================================================
The NYT and Washington Post never reported about Pravda's headline: “Russian Nuclear Energy Conquers the World.” Imagine if a Republican State Department approved such a deal?
More egregiously, Hillary's campaign chairman, the ubiquitous John Podesta, acting as "The Podesta Group" (co-founded w/ his brother, Tony) lobbied on behalf of Uranium One, after most of it was owned by Russia.
Wow...do not know how I missed that he was humas cousin. Wow!
“Clinton’s State Department, You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.” .....................
BACKSTORY---Obama and Congressional Democrats----with a huge assist from then-AG Eric Holder----have given NeighborWorks America (formerly ACORN) and La Raza a huge funding source of tax dollars to achieve Obama's dream of a permanent Democrat majority.
Obama/Holder/Dems are forcing taxpayers via DOJ litigation WRT bank settlements----into paying off these nefarious organizations.
DOJ went after CitiCorp and ordered them to pay $50 million to La Raza and NeighborWorks America as part of the settlement.
Another clause in the agreement makes it possible for La Raza and NeighborWorks America to rake in even larger amounts of money.
Of the remaining money the banks needed to pay in settlements, the banks were able to contribute additional money to La Raza and NeighborWorks America. For every dollar they contribute, it reduces their debt to the government by 2 dollars. That’s some mighty powerful incentive to give generously.
==================================================
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and House Financial Services Chairman Jeb Hensarling have questioned why this money was sent to the ACORN clone and the blood-thirsty LaRaza----rather than to the alleged victims of the bank’s crime.
The administration of course declined to answer. Here's part of the Congressmen's letter to Holder: “It seems that the alleged victims are not the primary beneficiaries of these multi-billion dollar settlements. Instead, the terms in the Justice Department’s two latest settlements look less like consumer relief and more like a scheme to funnel money to politically favored special interest groups.” “This makes donations to activist groups far more attractive to banks than providing direct relief to injured consumers. As a result, the settlements appear to serve as a vehicle for funding activist groups rather than as a means of securing relief for consumers actually harmed.”
Bet Hillary runs deeper into the woods this time.
JW wants Hillary with every ounce of their being!
Let’s go fishing.
Remember, George HW Bush took an SR71 flight to Paris to convince the Persians not to release our hostages until President Reagan was sworn in.
The msm and democrats are an enemy of the state.

I just love a man w/ a plan (smirk).
Ooooo....hope she doesn’t get lost (/s).
I think the word INTENT had the same reaction as the words Niagra Falls had on the 3 Stooges......
