Michael Isikoff: House 'will open up money-laundering inquiry' into Trump-Russia ties, says key Dem


House 'will open up money-laundering inquiry' into Trump-Russia ties, says key Democrat

WASHINGTON — A key Democrat on the House intelligence committee said the panel plans to start the new session of Congress by aggressively investigating President Trump’s finances, contending that there is already “probable cause” to believe his business was complicit in money laundering from Russia dating back to the early 2000s.

“We will open up a money-laundering inquiry as to whether the Russians were laundering money through the Trump organization,” said Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., a member of both the House intelligence and judiciary committees, on the Yahoo News podcast Skullduggery. “To use a prosecutor’s phrase, I think we have probable cause to do that, based on the Trump family’s own admissions that they had money coming in from Russia.”

“You’re talking about years of records, years of relationships that the Trump family has had,” Swalwell said, adding, “I think we want to have a comprehensive picture of whether or not the president is financially compromised by the Russians.”

When the public sees what he and his family has done the tide will turn. Right now Mueller has a secret cloud over everything. Once the real facts of the zillions of crimes the fake prez has been committing his entire life are out in the open people will start to turn on him in large numbers. There are currently 17 investigations going on right now...that number will continue to grow now that the Dems are in control of the House.

no one ever moves in, sell it to a Russian for 92 million dollars, no one ever moves in, then you bulldoze it over.

You don't build a tower in the bad side of town in Baku Azerbaijan, never build an access road to it, never sell any rooms or apartments in it. Ivanka's name was on that project.

No one goes bankrupt owning casinos multiple times.

The motherfucker is toast.
