Discussion: 5 Points On The Moscow Deal Trump And Co. Pursued During The Campaign

6 Likes

Video (via Scott Dworkin) of Trump, in Russia, discussing Trump Tower Moscow, from 2013:

It’s short (29 seconds), and not particularly enlightening, but it goes to show how long Trump has lusted after Putin’s approval and getting a foothold in Moscow real estate.

Hillary Clinton used a private server for her emails when she worked at the state department.

So did Clinton’s predecessors Powell and Rice. The State Dept did not yet have adequately secure servers. And Clinton’s private server was very secure, never hacked. But this article has nothing to do with that piece of politized history.

This strikes me as odd:
> “Michael I arranged for Ivanka to sit in Putins private chair at his desk and office in the Kremlin…”

OK – was Putin IN the chair when she was siting in it? Giving Vlad. a lap dance?

So…if she had given speeches for free would that have made you feel better, Skippy?

Does anyone else grow a bit weary at media folks trying to find an innocentish explanation for all these Russia shenanigans?

Trump clearly has financial ties to Russia and views the Russian oligarchy (and Putin) with great favor. His buddies helped him get elected. This isn’t complicated.

The thing is that there is nothing illegal about this , unless, of course, there is more to it than trying to facilitate building a tower in Moscow.

There’s nothing necessarily illegal in it for a private citizen except the fact that russia is a notoriously corrupt country where pay-to-play includes the head of state. For a candidate for public office, the legality is a little dicier.

And that was completely unforgivable. Not wrong, not illegal but just unforgivable. Good thing we have this fine, honest, upstanding citizen in the WH instead.

Now hand me that stomach distress bag.

Mob deals don’t need to materialize to be profitable. In the final analysis Trump’s machinations amount to little more than laundering money while golfing.

And Trump’s been so busy trying to hide it because…

  1. He’s shy.
  2. He doesn’t like being associated with legit biz deals.
  3. He wants to be the first U.S. president to ever pardon himself.
  4. He doesn’t want people to guess that he has lots of money.
  5. All of the above.

How long does it take to complete the levels until we can save the princess, I mean country?

I wonder whether this information was leaked by Russian traitor and de factor Secretary of State Cuck Kushner.

Well, definitely not 1) or 4), so that means 5) is out as well. He’s always boasting about how rich he is and he always doth protest most vociferously should anyone attempt to question the existence of that wealth. Too much methinks.

Follow the money. Lots of Russian banks and oligarchs in the mix. And I’m going to bet right now that there will be campaign finance violations involving Trump, Kushner or Trump Org. using campaign money to pay some bank loans.
