Money Laundering? Drumpfs? That’s so implausible…

But she seems nice…

Are you all thinking what I’m thinking? This beauty and Trump maybe shared some other things together? I bet she is sitting on a boatload of Donald sleeze…

ā€œThe suit against Prevezon never went to trial. On March 11, Donald Trump fired Bharara, and on March 21, Nikolai Gorokhov, the Magnitsky family’s attorney and a key witness for the prosecution, fell from the fourth floor of an apartment buildingā€¦ā€

Chief Wiggum: ā€œOK, folks, show’s over. Nothing to see here, show’s…Oh my G-d! A horrible plane crash! Hey everybody, get a load of this flaming wreckage! Come on, crowd around, crowd around, don’t be shy, crowd around.ā€

Why do the Russians involved always look exponentially smarter than the Trump affiliates?

To be fair, your average meatball sub looks smarter than the Trump affiliates.

Nah. I’m not thinking that, I’m never thinking that, and I’m surprised so many here think so ill of the man and yet assume he’s this tremendous horn dog. To me you have to be a little credulous to think that. I keep saying it: He’s 71, pushing 300 pounds, he never exercises, his diet is a cardiologist’s nightmare—need I go on? He wants people to think he’s the picture of mature virility almost as much as he wants them to think he’s rich. But I say even with chemical help—not a good idea for the hypertensively challenged—it ain’t happening in any impressive way if it’s happening at all.

CBS Evening News just fileted the Trump children. Especially Eric.

He also wants them to think he can navigate stairs unassisted.

Wow. Nice reporting Sam. This is the info that we know about…just sitting around out there…a little glimpse into the dark corner. Can’t wait to read what Mueller turns up…

Just pointed out all their statements that make a lie of Trump’s claims he would keep business separate from Presidenting.

Even included Eric’s statement that his father’s opponents weren’t ā€œeven human.ā€ Also how Eric told Forbes he was in constant contact with his father about ā€œprofitability reports and stuff (such a good education, eh?)ā€ On to Iwanka’s interviews about not knowing what complicit was.

Ending line: "This White House is being run like a ā€˜family business.’ "

Bharara’s later firing must be taken as strictly a coincidence.

We’re gradually being ensnared as minor players in the Russian kleptocracy. I’m not sure Trump even rises to the level of a capo.

PS: Hopefully TPM is running a large (1 acre?) whiteboard with appropriate arrows and connectors between all of these little details. It’s a dizzying array but surely enough facts are emerging from the murk to begin construction of a complete synthesis?

Possibly off topic, possibly not:

The Fright-Wing trolls on FB are trying to make her out to be a DNC connected lobbyist, due to some shitty ā€œreportingā€ by Circa, the Sinclair media shitshow that uses a ā€œthey also lobbied against the same Russia sanctions lawā€ version of a ā€œconnectionā€.

The genius doesn’t fall far from the fattening trough. Donny Jr’s cover story essentially admits the trio’s intent to collude with a foreign power for political influence. I doubt there was any talk about the adoption program. That woman is a big-league, heavy hitter. She would not be wasting HER time with that nonsense. I’m sure it was all business. I never watched a minute of The Apprentice but if this ordeal was a fictional series like The West Wing, I’d be hooked.
Unfortunately it is real.

From the article: ā€œMagnitsky became a cause celebā€¦ā€

Semi-Literate Trumpanzees don’t even know that the phrase is ā€œcause celebre.ā€
