Following Michael Cohen’s guilty plea for lying to Congress, Special Counsel Robert Mueller has reportedly pivoted to investigating President Trump’s children, Ivanka and Donald Jr., for their role in trying to secure a Trump Tower in Moscow.
Cohen testified that talks pertaining to a real estate deal in Moscow had “ended in January 2016,” but in reality continued into June of that year.
Yahoo News reports that multiple sources confirm both Trump Jr., and First Daughter Ivanka, a top White House adviser, “were also working to make Trump Tower Moscow a reality” years earlier in separate projects, in 2013.
Mueller’s court documents against Cohen seem to reference the Trump children’s involvement in the later Moscow project.
So far, Don Jr. said he was “peripherally aware” of the later Moscow project, but no other news is currently available. Is Ivanka a broader target for Mueller now?
Donald Trump Jr. has been rumored to be a target of the Special Counsel for some time, for a variety of reasons. But Ivanka getting the spotlight now reeks of desperation for Mueller who needs a scalp in this ridiculous Russia collusion investigation.
Yahoo notes that the Trump Organization, at which Ivanka was an executive at the time of the Moscow real estate talks, was legally able to conduct business in Russia right up until their father’s inauguration.
The President himself has laid stake to that claim.
“When I’m running for president that doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to do business,” Trump stated to reporters, correctly alluding to the fact that he was still a civilian at the time and very well could have been after Election Day in 2016.
It should be noted that former President Bill Clinton was conducting financially lucrative business transactions in Moscow while his wife, Hillary Clinton, was a public servant as Secretary of State.
The new report does add that Mueller’s inquiries “about Ivanka and Don Jr.’s work on Trump Tower Moscow does not mean they are targets of his investigation.”
But it surely indicates an attempt to find something on the two.
The son-of-a-bitch is no good.
Has Lavrentiy Beria been reincarnated?
Talk about desperate fishing expeditions.
“This POS needs to be fired and his dog and pony show shut down.”
Mueller is now flailing desperately in every direction as Whitaker takes the helm.
He has nothing. He also needs to test Whitaker too, you know, see how much latitude he has with the new guy.
Whitaker needs to crack Mueller’s knuckles, and quick!
If Mueller had anything, he would not be shaking all of these bushes to distract the fact that he has NOTHING.
Show me the man And I’ll show you the crime....................
