"Selling Stolen Oil & Putting Billions Of Dollars In A Bank In Qatar."

So says Magat Thomas Massey about Krasnov.

Massey calls it a 2nd treasury created in Qatar that Krasnov can use as he sees fit and Congress will allow it.

Not all of the stolen tankers are headed for the US, 2 of them docked at a Phillips 66 refinery, who knows who else Krasnov is selling the stolen oil to?

Seems to me there is a money laundering case against him, and Money Laundering is not an official duty of the president.

I wonder if this money could end up "invested" in some kind of crypto that directly benefits Trump?

He is stealing oil and selling it and keeping the money.

It's flat out robbery.
