Mueller’s probe focusing on potential money laundering ties to Russian oligarchs
The Washington Times ^ | September 10, 2017 | Dan Boylan and Guy Taylor

Special counsel Robert Mueller is obsessed with President Trump’s network of business interests for suspected money laundering as a critical focus of his investigation into Russian meddling in the presidential election last year, according to sources from the intelligence community close to the former FBI director.

One of the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the special counsel, who this year hired a staff of 16 lawyers with significant experience prosecuting such financial crimes, is focused on unraveling the Trump family’s tangled financial and real estate empire in a bid to find any connections to “dark money” investments from Russian oligarchs and organized crime figures.

Another source, close to the White House legal defense team, told The Times that subpoenas issued by Mr. Mueller’s office during recent weeks have been focused on financial records of key Trump associates. The subpoenas have come since the special prosecutor began using a District of Columbia grand jury this summer, according to the source, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Trump better be clean, otherwise he is toast. This should never have gotten this far. Kiss off Sessions, you POS!

RosenKrantz, Weasel Jr. Comey and Weasel Sr. Mueller have been colluding to commit treason against the US.

As expected. Why oh why didn’t Trump fire Rosenstein and have the replacement get Mueller under control?

In other words, they’ve found nothing yet and so are going further and further afield trying to find some sort of dirt.

Going to the Rose Garden----Obama formally nominated James Comey as the seventh FBI
director and thanked his predecessor, Robert Mueller, for being "an exemplary public servant."

Hmmm. Where, one wonders, in DC could an interested party find laundered money?

What does this have to do with Russia Collusion?
Nothing.

It is a fishing expedition. Nothing more.

I dont think he did any such thing but that’s a silly statement.

Goldman Sachs laundered money for cartel.

They were in pretty good shape before they started doing that.

Greed is greed.

It was obvious at the time the alleged Russian hacking of the DNC emails was a inside job. The FBI’s handling of the case made a politicized mess of it. Mueller has nothing and he knows it.

They will find anything to justify allowing Hillary off the hook by allowing Trump too off the hook....

So, a person who built a business empire and gets rich needs to be investigated, while ‘public servants’ who get rich while receiving a taxpayer-funded salary are not investigated. Make sense to you?

When Democrats are in power, conservatives are targeted for criminal investigations, IRS audits, and all manner of spurious allegations.

When Republicans are in power, conservatives are targeted for criminal investigations, IRS audits, and all manner of spurious allegations.

When Democrats openly and flagrantly break the law, it is ignored like the emperor’s new clothes.

When conservatives obey the laws, no matter how convoluted or difficult they may be to follow, they are targeted for criminal investigations, IRS audits, and all manner of spurious allegations.

When Democrats break the law and do all manner of evil, it is swept under the rug.

When conservatives make the slightest error in judgment, or demonstrate poor decorum, or misspeak in some small way, they are pounced on with demands that they resign. They receive death threats. Their families are threatened. Their allies are threatened.

Conservatives are under constant attack today. And we are sick and tired of it. If our enemies are going to torture and kills us, then so be it. Bring it. Let’s get the fight on and be done with it.

If the left does not want Civil War 2, they better find a peaceful exit strategy, because conservatives are not going to continue to sit back and take it.

It is obvious to everyone that the Obamas and Clintons are modern-day crime families. It is obvious to everyone that the current investigations of Trump are witch hunts. The people pushing these things are pretty stupid if they think we are going to go along with their game or will fail to remember their crimes.
