The U.S. special counsel investigating possible ties between the Donald Trump campaign and Russia in last years election is examining a broad range of transactions involving Trumps businesses as well as those of his associates and ancestors going back to the Roman Empire, according to a person familiar with the probe. FBI investigators and others are looking at Russian purchases of apartments in Trump buildings.
It appears that Russians never bought apartments in any other buildings in the United States, ever. That Russians bought into Trump's properties - having gotten past ICE - is clear evidence of large scale collusion and bribery. There is no question according to a Mueller spokesman that money has been exchanged for the first time for the purchase of real estate.
Mueller has also expanded his investigation into what went on in the bedrooms in Trump's buildings and will get a FISA warrant for the tapes, as well as the gold plated toilets. He is also looking at Trumps involvement in the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow where almost 300 women accused the president of looking at them. He will also examine Trumps sale of a Florida mansion to a Russian oligarch in 2008, where money was exchanged for no reason because, unlike Mexicans, Russians can get mansions for free.
2008 is not a cutoff year however, said the spokeswoman for Team Mueller, "we are investigating all of President Drumpf's ancestors, the Duke of Drumpf, the Earl of Drumpf, the Countess and Count of Drumpf, the Butcher and Butcheress of Drumpf, the Goatherders of Drumpf, and all the Drumpf's servants, abused female cattle, and descendants with orange hair.
John Dowd, one of Trumps lawyers, said on Thursday that he was unaware of the inquiry into Trumps ancient family ties. One that stands out is the Earl's developing the Scottish bog into mud huts in 1432, and Ivanka's great grandmother's kilt business called the Balls of Drumpf. Dowd considered it beyond the scope of what Special Counsel Robert Mueller should be examining.Those transactions are in my view well beyond the mandate of the Special counsel; are unrelated to the election of 2016 or any alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, or Donald Trump colluding with other Republicans to beat Hillary. Most importantly, they are well beyond any Statute of Limitation imposed by the United States Code, he wrote in an email.
The president told the New York Times on Wednesday that any digging into matters beyond Russia or beyond the Fall of the Roman Empire, whichever came first, would be out of bounds.
Allegedly Trumps businesses have involved Russians, Chinese, Canadians, Congolese, Sri Lankans and Kenyans for years, and so have those of a million other businessmen who don't limit their travels to Chappaqua, said the attorney.
The Justice Departments May 17 order to Mueller instructs him to investigate any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign as well as any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation, suggesting a relatively broad mandate that will re-examine the Drumpf Family's role in Napoleon's demise, the rise of the Tang Dynasty, and the Mad Cow Epidemic that struck the United States on November 8, 2008.
Agents are interested in dealings with the Bank of Cyprus, where Wilbur Ross served as vice chairman before he became commerce secretary.
That happened days after Wilbur Ross was allegedly recruited and then planted in the White House as a KGB agent. Ross had nothing to do with it, the Russians made him all his billions. In addition, Mueller's team are examining the efforts of Jared Kushner, the Presidents son-in-law and senior aide, to secure financing for some of his familys real-estate properties. Mueller alleged that real estate properties do not normally need financing since they are standing wherever they were built with or without financing. He added: "It makes sense."
Mueller is investigating Kushner's need to acquire real estate in the first place, with one of the investigators asking: "A man can only wear one pair of trousers at a time, so why does Kushner have a need for more than one apartment?"
The roots of Muellers follow-the-money investigation lie partly in a wide-ranging money-laundering probe launched by then-Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara last year that had no interest in the Clinton Family Foundation. Asked about this disinterest in focusing on money laundering elsewhere, Mr. Bharara replied with his famed logic: I have no interest in families.
Brahara also suggested that Mueller should follow up the Trump ancestors who had surely colluded with someone, somewhere, sometime, and for some reason we can invent, over the eight hundred years of their history. He added: "The evidence is inescapable!"
A fun read
Beyond stupid.
Trump was a private business man, and as such he could do business with whomever.
That looks like a prost7ate exam7.
My doctor uses his whole hand. Are you suggesting he is a Democrat?
Yeah, Mueller decided to probe when he got “wind” that
Trump associates were hiding something up there......LOL
Don't remind me...mine is scheduled for next month!😲
I haven’t been to the Cube in some time. It is still very humorous.
Kommissar Chernobylski needs a dictionary.
Or a thesaurus.
What’s another word for thesaurus?
