from the fact that in 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.

Transfer it all before Mueller siezes it.
That's what's really going on ya know.

Jr knows Mueller & Schneiderman are comin to take his stuff.

Question:
If another Country indicts the Trumps for money laundering & mobster crimes against their own nation, separate from the US, can they also sieze any property that is in their own country?

Can Mueller reach into another country where Trumps have property & take ownership of it or sell it ?
That may be a stretch.
Just wondering how the world will divvy up the Trump world properties in the end.

Thanks

85. Asset Hiding?
Wed Mar 14, 2018, 07:28 PM
Mar 2018

I certainly wouldn't put it past the Trumps to try to use on-paper divorce to judgement-proof some assets before Mueller and co. dig up the crime family's business shenanigans.

Or if they really do want to split, I guess it's "get while the getting's good"

A downside of divorce being that she'd forfeit the spousal privilege of protection from being compelled to testify against Jr. But if they've truly "led separate lives" or just if she's been too busy with the 5 kids ('cause I have a hard time picturing Jr as a hands-on dad) to have any real dirt on Jr. that Mueller'd be interested in maybe that's not a major downside.
