Investigative reporter Craig Unger: "Trump has had contacts with the Russian mafia for 35 years" [View all]


Salon mag. interview with Craig Unger about his book on Trump and Russia, posted in 2018.
I somehow had missed this.
But now, 2 years later, we can see and understand it more clearly.
Trump and all the Republican politicals , esp. Yertle, and Graham, and those Tea Party members who have left Gov't, who took Russia $$$ are actual real life treasonous traitors.


the Russians didn't just go after Donald Trump: They went after the entire Republican Party. There is Russian money going into the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, the NRA, and then to Republican officials and candidates directly.


Donald Trump has had contacts with the Russian mafia for 35 years. His properties have laundered money for them. The Russian mafia are connected to Russian intelligence. They’re living and have been working in Trump's building. Trump has even partnered with them. There are so many ways in which he’s compromised.


These were ways of laundering money that Trump had. The financing of building projects that involved $400 million or $500 million to build a skyscraper. Once the building was built, they could sell the condos through the shell companies, limited liability corporations and so forth. This was done anonymously in all cash transactions with the Russian oligarchs and other people affiliated with the Russian mafia. They owned Trump before he ever met Putin
