Don Jr personally approved loan suspected as Russian money laundering

Contemplating crime is serious hard.



Donald Trump Jr. personally approved sketchy loan now being probed as Russian money laundering

by Travis Gettys, Raw StoryMarch 15, 2023

A pair of sketchy loans to Trump Media now under investigation for possible Russian money laundering were personally approved by Donald Trump Jr.

Federal prosecutors in New York are scrutinizing two loans totaling $8 million from two Kremlin-linked entities, and company officials set aside their own concerns about the origins of the money because Donald Trump's eldest son had confirmed to Trump Media's lawyers that the transaction should proceed, reported The Guardian.

“Just want to keep you in the loop — no guaranty that these will get signed and funded, but we remain hopeful,” wrote John Haley, outside counsel for Trump Media, in a Dec. 24, 2021, email reviewed by the newspaper.

“Thanks john much appreciated. d,” Trump Jr. replied.

Trump Jr. had joined the board of the company along with the former president's ally Kash Patel and former Rep. Devin Nunes, who served as the tech company's chief executive.

What if Mitch McConnell came out of the hospital "Woke"?

Can you imagine? A woke Mitch, a good person who cares about other people and good causes — and uses their abilities to do something about it?



Say Mitch came out of an induced coma…If he was woke, he would actually lead, from universal health care and free tuition for all to stopping the Fourth Reich and opposing Putin and taxing the world’s billionaires, there’d be a whole new nation and better planet.

The GOP wouldn’t know what to do. They certainly wouldn’t run against it.

Epstein broke friendship with Trump because Trump's "a crook."

Jeffrey Epstein said he stopped hanging out with Trump 'when he realized Trump was a crook,' according to his brother

Jacob Shamsian
Business Insider, Sat, March 11, 2023,

* Jeffrey Epstein hinted at his fallout with Donald Trump in an unaired interview, according to his brother.

* "He stopped hanging out with Trump when he realized Trump was a crook," Mark Epstein told Insider.

* Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were friends for years, and the nature of their fallout remains hazy.

Jeffrey Epstein said in an unaired interview that he distanced himself from former President Donald Trump after realizing Trump was "a crook," according to his brother, Mark Epstein.

Mark Epstein told Insider he viewed a clip of the interview, conducted by Trump's former White House advisor Steve Bannon, after his brother forwarded it to him in the spring of 2019.

At the time, Bannon was conducting filmed interviews with the now-dead pedophile financier. Bannon sent Jeffrey Epstein a Dropbox link to a clip, which he forwarded to his brother. The link is no longer active, according to Mark.

"Jeffrey showed me the link to one of these interviews," Mark Epstein said. "And in that interview, Jeffrey said he stopped hanging out with Trump when he realized Trump was a crook."

Ignoramus et ignorabimus.

Always believed peer-to-peer connections, certainly for teenagers, form the best networks for transferring information. The adult thing is to learn from another’s example. However, like our politics, the system does not function without good information.

When kids are having kids, no one’s doing the parenting. They never had the chance to learn how.

Leonard Leo, the billionaire's toady.

How a Secretive Billionaire Handed His Fortune to the Architect of the Right-Wing Takeover of the Courts

In the largest known political advocacy donation in U.S. history, industrialist Barre Seid funded a new group run by Federalist Society co-chair Leonard Leo, who guided Trump’s Supreme Court picks and helped end federal abortion rights.

Excerpt…

As President Donald Trump’s adviser on judicial nominations, Leo helped build the Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority, which recently eliminated Constitutional protections for abortion rights and has made a series of sweeping pro-business decisions. Leo, a conservative Catholic, has both helped select judges to nominate to the Supreme Court and directed multimillion dollar media campaigns to confirm them.

Leo derives immense political power through his ability to raise huge sums of money and distribute those funds throughout the conservative movement to influence elections, judicial appointments and policy battles. Yet the biggest funders of Leo’s operation have long been a mystery.

Seid, who led the surge protector and data-center equipment maker Tripp Lite for more than half a century, has been almost unknown outside a small circle of political and cultural recipients. The gift immediately vaults him into the ranks of major funders like the Koch brothers and George Soros.

In practical terms, there are few limitations on how Leo’s new group, the Marble Freedom Trust, can spend the enormous donation. The structure of the donation allowed Seid to avoid as much as $400 million in taxes. Thus, he maximized the amount of money at Leo’s disposal.

Now, Leo, 56, is positioned to finance his already sprawling network with one of the largest pools of political capital in American history. Seid has left his legacy to Leo.
