Jeff Sessions’ DOJ? Heh. Hope there are lots of copies.
”Manafort had an unusual pattern of using shell companies to make all-cash purchases of real estate properties, transferring the properties to his own name, and then taking out large mortgages against them.”
Lemme guess…they were purchases of Trump properties?
Who knew that “drain the swamp” actually meant bring them all on board and then expose them as the crooks they are?
Just thought of something. If Manafort was buying property in New York and borrowing from, and submitting documents to, a Rhode Island bank, that makes this interstate wire fraud as one charge should anything be found.
“Multiple people” = Trump himself, Ivanka, Malaria, John Barron, the law firm with ties to Russian, Trump’s “doctor”, …
…With Rubles …
And the hammer of judgment winds up…
Manafort had an unusual pattern of using shell companies to make all-cash purchases of real estate properties, transferring the properties to his own name, and then taking out large mortgages against them, according to a March investigation from WNYC.
It’s called money laundering.
I’ve read elsewhere that, in a concerted effort to clean up its image, even the Bank of Cyprus is now fully cooperating with the money-laundering investigations.
I’ll bet that makes Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross feel warm and fuzzy all over.
Actually that statement itself is not false. No one person is the subject of the investigation, the subject is potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia on the election. While that could lead to indictments of many, including Trump, that statement that anyone specifically in the campaign is the “subject” would be false.
Seems like a good time in Paul’s life. Someday he’ll refer to this as his “heyday”
The Justice Department has requested the banking records of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort as part of its investigation into possible collusion between Trump associates and Russian operatives working to influence the 2016 election, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
Oh that's just great, now Trump has to fire the Justice Department.… Donnie Jr. (Butthead/Uday), Eric (Beevis/Qusay), the wanker skank Ivanka, Jared “Full Metal Jackass” Kushner, the Kushner “We’ve Got Visas!™” Companies …
Honestly, I’m still waiting with bated breath for the FCPA charges to finally get rolling.
And technically how much of those properties with Trump’s name on them are owned by Trump. Guaranteed lots of Russian cash owns those properties, it’s just easier to market property with the name “Trump” on it, instead of “Vlad’s Towers”.
It’s not true or false. It’s not known.
Yet.
Not anymore. Now it’s about fraud, money laundering, ad infinitum. In other words, provable crimes with hard evidence.
One could say “They’re finally ‘following the trail of dead Russians.’”
