I heard this guy on the John Batchelor Show the other night. His connecting of Trump with the Russian mob sounded good until Batchelor pointed out that the Russians were buying up pricy real estate everywhere from everyone, particularly in London, but also in every other major European city. The overlap between the Russian mob and the oligarchs and the Russian government adds another layer of confusion to this story.
If I am selling a house and someone makes an offer...I probably dont care where the money is coming from if I can prove its an arms length transaction.
If I am building a house and getting involved with russian mobsters to build it
...thats another story.
I always wondered why clinton and Gope didnt hit harder about mafia dealings. If you watched Sopranos you might remember the no show and no work contracts. Yes....those are real life things.
Hard to see how he and his father coukd build like they did in that area without running into those kinds of things.
