So ... does 'Family Finances' include your 'Family BUSINESS Finances', Don the Con?

Some intrepid reporter needs to ask him whether he believes Mueller is out-of-bounds to even be looking into his BUSINESSES finances, as opposed to his PERSONALLY.

Everyone today seems to be assuming Mueller is 'crossing the line' with investigations potentially touching on Trumps businesses ... but I found myself wondering ... was that what the PINO was actually meaning ... when he said what he said?

I'm not saying he even deserves 'privacy' wrt his personal finances, but I think a somewhat reasonable case could be made at least for why HE THINKS they should be off-limits.

His businesses, or just those with which he has 'connections' even if they're not technically owned by himself ... I think it's ridiculous for him to believe those are somehow 'outside' Muellers jurisdiction. That's crazy talk.

By that I mean ... very much par for Don's course,
