Discussion: Trump Still Won't Answer Key Question About His Business Ties With Russia

So if he makes 60 million dollars profit on a house he paid 40 million for doesn’t that sound like money laundering? You have a Russian Oligarch pouring Russian cash into Trump’s pocket. And you can’t be a Russian billionaire unless you are on Putin’s team. Unless you want to find out they served you radioactive tea that will kill you. This is the Putin that Trump is hoping will help him win the election.

Comrade Trump knows that Republicans either don’t care or don’t believe that he has any ties to Russia. Just look at how they have glossed over the Koch family’s ties to Stalin.

He said that he sold a house to a Russian.

Find out who that guy is.

Im willing to do a $1 bet that the buyer is likely more relevant to the ongoing than just Donnie’s house flipping tale.

Let’s recap today’s events… In a naked, pathetic attempt to steal attention from Clinton, Trump called a press conference in which he created more questions about his Russian ties, called on a foreign country to spy on us, and generally embarrassed himself. All he had to do this week is shut the hell up and let the Democratic convention play out. That’s all he needed to do.

Reading his Wiki page it seems he prospered through mostly conventional, legal means. Formerly a cardiologist, educated parents, made a few fortuitous decisions. Bright boy is what we used to call’em. Maybe he does have a nefarious side, skeletons in the closet.

As an aside, Zillow says the mansion sold for 95 million, Trump bought at bankruptcy for 41. But he invested 25 mil before sale, so as usual he portrays his profits and windfall inaccurately.

Trump also added the borscht on offer in the media room was just a coincidence. Tastes tremendous though.

Maybe MSM could say something like this:

“Candidate Trump, national security experts are concerned about you and your staff’s apparently close connections to Russian plutocrats and the apparent help you’re receiving from the Russian security apparatus to harm your opponent. Some people say that you should be denied national security briefings until you can deny clearly that no Russians are bankrolling any portion of your business dealings. Why won’t you release your current tax returns to alleviate those concerns as you stated Mitt Romney should do in 2012 for far less serious national concerns, especially since an audit does not prevent you in any way from doing so? Some people say failure to do so suggest those concerns are legitimate.”

(Edited for clarity of perspective)

N that’s why i want the house buyer’s id revealed.

If the money is ‘columbian scented’, then the story grows a new branch.

If the buyer did business with him and Putin,then let’s get a comment from Ryan or McConnell.

Personally id want one from Cornyn,but f— it,im not choosy

Honest to f%*ing God, Hillary goes through 8 House committees because terrorists attack an American Embassy, but Trump casually asks Russia to hack into our State Department and it’s “Oh Donald is just being Donald”.

At what point does the media FINALLY treat this fucking con man as an ADULT who should be held responsible for the lies that pours seemingly unnoticed from his mouth?

Well, that’s a little opinionated in the phrasing, but I agree with the premise. It would help if the reporter(s) would bring details of the transactions, which are plentiful, to the pressers so he can’t lie and deny his way out of them.

@blogamator: I like that “some people”. Reminds me of another news source.

Based on that article, we can assume that the most damaging of the emails were written in comic sans font.
