39. problem is Trump engaged in money laundering for Russian crime bosses so
Fri Jan 20, 2017, 01:05 PM
Jan 2017

the money trail is muddy and obscure.

Real estate prices fluctuate so a Russian LLC needing $ laundering buys a $3 million apt. for $6 million from Trump and what happens with the extra $3 million? Russian keeps it and probably gives a kickback to Trump so he can be bailed out of his 7th bankruptcy.

In 2008, Donald Trump Jr. attended a real estate conference, where he stated that

Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets. We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.

As it turns out, that may have been an understatement. Human rights lawyer Scott Horton, whose work in the region goes back to defending Andrei Sakharov and other Soviet dissidents, has gone through a series of studies by the Financial Times to show how funds from Russian crime lords bailed Trump out after yet anther bankruptcy. The conclusions are stark.

Among the powerful facts that DNI missed were a series of very deep studies published in the that examined the structure and history of several major Trump real estate projects from the last decade—the period after his seventh bankruptcy and the cancellation of all his bank lines of credit. ...

The money to build these projects flowed almost entirely from Russian sources. In other words, after his business crashed, Trump was floated and made to appear to operate a successful business enterprise through the infusion of hundreds in millions of cash from dark Russian sources.

He was their man.

Can you imagine if this were Hillary we were learning about?
