NY Times Trump, "I'm not under investigation. For what? I didn't do anything wrong."

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/19/us/politics/trump-interview-sessions-russia.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news

In a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times, the president also accused James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director he fired in May, of trying to leverage a dossier of compromising material to keep his job. Mr. Trump criticized both the acting F.B.I. director who has been filling in since Mr. Comey’s dismissal and the deputy attorney general who recommended it. And he took on Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel now leading the investigation into Russian meddling in last year’s election.

Mr. Trump said Mr. Mueller was running an office rife with conflicts of interest and warned investigators against delving into matters too far afield from Russia. Mr. Trump never said he would order the Justice Department to fire Mr. Mueller, nor would he outline circumstances under which he might do so. But he left open the possibility as he expressed deep grievance over an investigation that has taken a political toll in the six months since he took office.

Asked if Mr. Mueller’s investigation would cross a red line if it expanded to look at his family’s finances beyond any relationship to Russia, Mr. Trump said, “I would say yes.” He would not say what he would do about it. “I think that’s a violation. Look, this is about Russia.”

While the interview touched on an array of issues, including health care, foreign affairs and politics, the investigation dominated the conversation. He said that as far as he knew, he was not under investigation himself, despite reports that Mr. Mueller is looking at whether the president obstructed justice by firing Mr. Comey.

“I don’t think we’re under investigation,” he said. “I’m not under investigation. For what? I didn’t do anything wrong.”

Security analysts Malcolm Nance stated, “This is what happens when a target starts getting buggy.”

One question about the June 2016 Trump Jr. / Veselnitskaya /and so on meet up

Now, the Russians said they had dirt on HRC and her illegal activities but
in the end they did not have such information but they passed a file onto Kushner
who according to some left the room w/it ..... now that file was not dirt on HRC
but documents and data that was hacked from HRC and or the DNC and or John
Podesta so tell me why team Trump is not guilty of receiving stolen property?


LOCK 'EM UP!

The Russia mob now controls the White House and A.G. Jeff Sessions.

Prevezon Holdings used upscale NYC real estate to launder Russia mob money.

Seventeen Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee sent a letter on Wednesday to the Justice Department demanding answers as to why the agency abruptly dismissed a money laundering case earlier this year involving the Kremlin-linked attorney who met with Donald Trump Jr. during last year's campaign.

In May, the Department of Justice (DOJ) settled United States v. Prevezon Holdings Ltd., a $230 million fraud and money laundering case that accused Prevezon Holdings executives of fraudulently obtaining a tax refund from the Russian treasury.

In the case, Prevezon was represented by Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian attorney who met with Trump Jr. during the campaign after promising incriminating information on Hillary Clinton.

Daily Kos: Donald Trump Jr. got documents from Russian government at his 'waste of time' meeting

if these documents were from the hacking of the DNC or HRC wouldn't that be
receiving stolen property?


https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/7/14/1680688/-Donald-Trump-Jr-got-documents-from-Russian-government-at-his-waste-of-time-meeting?detail=emaildkre

Donald Trump Jr. has lied about every aspect of the meeting over, and over, and over. Even as more information
has come to light, even with the release of the emails, he has still attempted to characterize the meeting as
unimportant and a waste of time that “went nowhere.” Those statements also appear to be blatant, indefensible
lies. And the information Veselnitskaya handed over, appears to be emails hacked from the DNC.

snip

It was after Veselnitskaya put the documents from the Russian government in their hands, that
Kushner hustled out of the room. Trump Jr. was only disappointed that it didn’t come with footnotes.
