"Want to see bipartisanship in Washington? Fire Mueller
The many rumblings about the special counsel's future — which have intensified since President Donald Trump publicly criticized Attorney General Jeff Sessions — could unite lawmakers from both parties in a way few issues have."

Your Rich Turd is swirling the drain.

Indeed, wise real estate investors buy low. The American public is HORRIBLE at timing things like buying and selling real estate and stocks.

"Why did a Russian pay $95M to buy Trump’s Palm Beach mansion?

http://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/why-did-a-russian-pay-95m-to-buy-trumps-palm-beach-mansion/

"PALM BEACH, Fla. — Why did a Russian oligarch pay now-President Donald Trump $95 million for his Palm Beach mansion?

"Almost a decade later, the answer is less clear than it was at the time of the sale, the highest price paid for a Palm Beach home.

"In 2008, Dmitry Rybolovlev bought the Palm Beach mansion owned by Trump for $13 million more than the most expensive Palm Beach mansion sale up to that moment..."

"Nonetheless, he went ahead and paid an exceptionally high, $50 million premium to Trump, then a real estate tycoon and reality TV host, for a property he never sought to live in, not even on a part-time basis."

Now all you need is some actual proof rather than producing lessons in creative writing.

I hear you. Because your hands are full with so many Trump scandals you have you have to prioritize. Why make up excuses for Trump's deplorable activities until the information leaves you no other choice ?

Newsflash! Trump was in the business of selling condos, and the evidence of his criminality is that he sold some condos? Oh, right, it's the fact that the buyers were "Russians." Were they "mobsters?" Who knows, but even if they were, is it Trump's job to determine the source of their money? This is just another of the left's guilt by association character assassinations...

I think you are in for a big surprise.

"The September issue of the 'New Republic' is set to be titled 'Married to the Mob: What Trump Owes the Russian Mafia.'

"It examines how the Russian mafia has used the president’s rental properties to launder money and hide assets for decades. 'Democray Now!' speaks with the author, investigative journalist Craig Unger."

When it comes to the job of enforcing the laws of this nation who is above Trump in power and responsibility ?

Bernie Sanders?

Oops!

Oops!

What does Bernie Sander's wife have to do with Trump and a Russian money laundering operation ? Again, you said that the job of the person who is at the top of the food chain in America law enforcement is not to determine whether a crime is being committed nor whether or not he is possible a perpetrator in that crime.

From Toleration, to Normalization, to Accommodation, and finally to Capitulation, where you stopped lowering the bar and decided to throw it away altogether.

I don't even know what to say anymore.

Then please for the love of God, just stop talking...

You Trump defenders would love that. I wouldn't want anyone holding a mirror up to me while if I were dutifully doing Trump's "deploring" for him either.

Trump's finances can't be determined without the power of subpoena.

Mueller is the first investigator to have such a resource.

He probably won't be the last.

"The very nature of Trump’s businesses—all of which are privately held, with few reporting requirements—makes it difficult to root out the truth about his financial deals.

"And the world of Russian oligarchs and organized crime, by design, is shadowy and labyrinthine.

"For the past three decades, state and federal investigators, as well as some of America’s best investigative journalists, have sifted through mountains of real estate records, tax filings, civil lawsuits, criminal cases, and FBI and Interpol reports, unearthing ties between Trump and Russian mobsters like Mogilevich.

"To date, no one has documented that Trump was even aware of any suspicious entanglements in his far-flung businesses, let alone that he was directly compromised by the Russian mafia or the corrupt oligarchs who are closely allied with the Kremlin. So far, when it comes to Trump’s ties to Russia, there is no smoking gun."

Robert Mueller will get his man....and several more Trump associates.

Special Counsels never fail.

Remember Ken Starr.
1. Whitewater - nothing there
2. Paula Jones - settled
Starr kept at it till he found
3. lying about adult consensual sex.

Don't think for a second that Mueller will stop before he gets his man.
That's why Trump is going nuts.

Mueller's probe may force Trump to make a choice between releasing his taxes or resigning:

http://nypost.com/2017/07/29/donald-trump-is-becoming-trapped/

"Trump’s predicament recalls a scene in Ernest Hemingway’s novel, “The Sun Also Rises.”

"'How did you go bankrupt,' one character asks another, who responds: 'Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.'

"So it is with Trump. Problems, some of them self-inflicted, that looked temporary and manageable have been compounded over time and are reaching a crisis point.

"Most important, he is losing flexibility to act just as Mueller expands his probe into Trump’s business empire as well as his 2016 campaign.

"Various reports say the special counsel, who is amassing a small army of prosecutors, is going through Trump’s career, including his taxes and property sales, to find any connections with Russians that might indicate collusion in the election."

The country wouldn't be in this mess if the GOP had only required that their presidential primary candidates cough up 10 years of tax returns. Trump would have bailed right then and there.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/18/politics/trump-taxes-tax-returns/index.html

"3. Trump made a calculation a long time ago that what's in the returns is worse for him politically than not releasing them.

"During the campaign, Trump used to say that no lawyer would advise any client to release their returns while under audit. OK. But those clients aren't running for or serving as the President of the United States.

"The audit, therefore, has always felt like a veil hiding the real reason Trump didn't want to release the returns: Because they showed a) he wasn't as rich as he said, b) he didn't pay much in taxes, c) the the documents revealed some sort of blatant conflict of interest, or d) some other reason I haven't thought of.

"And here's one other thing I know: In refusing to release his tax returns, Donald Trump is the least transparent presidential candidate -- and President -- in at least four decades.

"And I also know this: He doesn't care at all."

Trump was raised to believe the rich are above the law.
So far, no one has been able to convince him otherwise.
