“Federal postal inspectors arrested former Trump campaign chairman Steve Bannon aboard Guo’s yacht last month.” Gotta love it that one Trump grifter was hanging with Guo even as other Trump grifters tried to knife him in the back.

The Trump administration makes a pack of jackals look like a church choir. So many loose criminal threads hanging around–maybe Broidy will flip on someone, who’ll flip on someone…etc. Still hoping that pulling on this one may bring down the whole stinking rotten edifice.

I’m disapponted that this connection wasn’t pursued further by the TPM reporters. What are the chances that Broidy and Bannon are both connected to this billionaire (though in much different ways)? Remember, Broidy was also represented by Michael Cohen in a Playmate-silencing payoff. There are deep Trump connections all around.

This does not smell like a coincidence. It’s the stuff of novels.

Another Republican National Committee finance chair, just like Michael Cohen and Steve Wynn. They know how to pick 'em.

1MDB is a big deal in Malaysia.

Billions stolen in the name of a joint
government-private partnership.

One tentacle of the scandal was financing
the film Wolf of Wall Street.

A fugitive nicknamed Jho Lo has been
on the run for a while. Is this him?

The former prime minister was just sentenced
to twelve years for corruption but not on this deal,
athough he was eyeballs deep.

At this rate, some federal prison is going to need an entire cell block dedicated to the Trump administration.

Indeed. Or journalism proving yet again that truth is stranger than fiction.

You got to give it to Trump, always creating jobs. More prison guards, food service, uniform companies, etc.etc. all will benefit.

Nope. Sorry. They get general population. It’s only fair.

No, it is the smell of gross corruption on a Trumpian scale.

Totally agree, and certainly NOT at a “Club Fed.”

So, let me get this straight. The guy that hired Cohen to make a mistress’s inconvenient pregnancy “go away” and was one of three, including Cohen at the time, in charge of the RNC finances, has pissed a guy off by representing the Chinese government, who also happened (Guo) to be in bed financially with Steve Bannon.

It’s so completely ridiculous, if you saw this in a movie, you’d think, “God, what a shitty writer.”
