The Business Deals That Could Imperil Trump (NY Times finally gives up on Russia scam?)
NY Times ^ | 4/21/18 | Peter Fritsch, Glenn R. Simpson

Posted on 04/24/2018 8:51:59 AM PDT by Libloather

Put aside Russian collusion for a moment. Press pause on possible presidential obstruction of justice. Forget Stormy Daniels. The most significant recent development involving the president may be that the special counsel, Robert Mueller, has subpoenaed Trump Organization business records as part of his inquiry into Russian interference in the presidential election.

Those documents — and records recently seized by the F.B.I. from the president’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen — might answer a question raised by the president’s critics: Have certain real estate investors used Trump-branded properties to launder the proceeds of criminal activity around the world?

We pored over Donald Trump’s business records for well over a year, at least those records you can get without a badge or a subpoena. We also hired a former British intelligence official, Christopher Steele, to look into Mr. Trump’s possible ties to Russia. In that 2015-2016 investigation, sponsored first by a Republican client and then by Democrats, we found strong indications that companies affiliated with Mr. Trump, then a presidential candidate, might have been entangled in foreign corruption.

As the prison doors get closer to all the traitors, Deep State, MSM, DNC, etc., the more desperate they’re getting. This is what Draining The Swamp and lock them up looks like. Buckle up and get more popcorn.

That's what they're doing though: ending one failed charade but immediately replacing it with a new one. "Not My President!" was ignored for the tantrum that it was, "Russia!" is boomerang-ing, there was lots of "obstruction of justice!" talk but no action, Stormy Daniels has had her 15 minutes, etc.

There will be a new one every few weeks for as long as he is President, just as there has been until now.

So what about Walmart? Are ill-gotten wages being spent there and is Walmart responsible.

In other words, Fritsch, Simpson, and the Clinton campaign colluded with the U.S. and British intelligence communities to undermine the 2016 election--just as they are conspiring against the U.S. government now.
