If POTUS Donnie surrogates had come clean about their dealings with foreign entities when originally asked only about 20% of this crap would be relevant, but nope, they had (Manafort, Flynn, Sessions and Kushner to name a few) to be sly and shrug it off.
POTUS Donnie has been dealing with foreign banks (Yes Russian as well) for years in many capacities. So what will we learn from the investigations; that he wasn’t forthright on his taxes (which would explain all audits), dealt with foreign entities without US approval, campaign accepted foreign donations (yes his campaign did accept donations at one point). But how much of all this will affect his current padded chair- PB/TK
Mueller Said to Expand Probe to Trump Business Transactions – By Greg Farrell and Christian Berthelsen / July 20 2017
(Bloomberg) — The U.S. special counsel investigating possible ties between the Donald Trump campaign and Russia in last year’s election is examining a broad range of transactions involving Trump’s businesses as well as those of his associates, according to a person familiar with the probe.
The president told the New York Times on Wednesday that any digging into matters beyond Russia would be out of bounds. Trump’s businesses have involved Russians for years, making the boundaries fuzzy so Special Counsel Robert Mueller appears to be taking a wide-angle approach to his two-month-old probe.
FBI investigators and others are looking at Russian purchases of apartments in Trump buildings, Trump’s involvement in a controversial SoHo development with Russian associates, the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow and Trump’s sale of a Florida mansion to a Russian oligarch in 2008, the person said.
John Dowd, one of Trump’s lawyers, said on Thursday he was unaware of this element of the investigation. “Those transactions are in my view well beyond the mandate of the Special counsel; are unrelated to the election of 2016 or any alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia and most importantly, are well beyond any Statute of Limitation imposed by the United States Code,” he wrote in an email.
