Federal prosecutors spent years investigating whether money flowed through an Egyptian state bank into the coffers of Trump’s 2016 campaign for president, CNN reports.
It’s really sad that my first thought on seeing that a US Attorneys had closed the investigation is speculation about whether they were acting on the up-and-up.
Right. Cause the guy whose tax records show has been taking staggering losses for over a decade, is a well known tightwad, and believed he was going to lose…would totally dump $10 million of his own cash into a campaign.
I have little doubt that it was a cut out, but its pure speculation as to who the money actually came from. Could be Russia. Could be UAE. Could be SA. Could be Erik Prince. Could be a bunch of Bibbi backers in Israel. Or could be somebody else.
Corruption is the new norm. No, The Dotard would never dump $10 million of his own cash into what he believed was a long shot. Damn this dark money. Damn you, SCOTUS and Citizens United. There are so many snakes and so much to undo, just keeping a list of all the shit that needs fixing and then keeping track of the progress towards those fixes will require a lot of work. Blatant corruption.
Still I take offense when a bot is looking over my shoulder and passing judgement on what I post even though I used no foul language and did not commit an ad hominem attack on anyone. This is why I choose to call this thing a “nannybot” (no gender pejorative intended). I innocently post something and it jumps down my throat. I do not take kindly to that. Living being or not.
So one hand told the investigators that Mueller would be taking it over, and the other hand not only didn’t tell Mueller, they specifically enjoined him from looking into financial questions.
Profoundly OT Please don’t ask me why your comment reminded me of this. Regardless, these guys and the Austin Lounge Lizards would make for a hell of a double bill.
