Can you say money laundering?

Read this story and tell me you can’t smell the stink of corruption.

1. One guess ..... Russian Mob Money.

Trump had to pay back Cohen w/$35,000 payments @ a time to pay back
the $130,000 Cohen paid stormy Daniels in hush money that he
laundered through Trump Hotels and then onto an LLC which cut Daniels
checks = to $130,000 and yet Trump had 100s of millions for cash deals and
Cohen had $750,000 in a slush fund.

4. Russian Mob money might be: oil and gas money, bank scams such as the Bank of Cypress or Deutsche

.... Bank, oligarchs, or money laundering operations such as Trump's Hotel in Azerbaijan

Trump is connected to the largest and most powerful criminal syndicate in history.
