So far as I know, no prep work is underway for that.

Ought to start considering logistics.

Muller has opened the door to the exact same tactics being used immediately against the Obama and Clinton foundations, and other DNC’ers.

Nothing to contradict you at all. I have had a HELOC and moved small amounts ($15,000) without any explanation but $130,000 may get you an audit.

As Joe DiGenova said last night, (and Dershowitz agreed), it is SESSIONS responsibility and duty to fire Rosenstein.

He said “He (Sessions) needs to fire him first thing tomorrow morning!”

Has he fired him? NO!

Sessions is COMPLICIT. Sessions is dirty. He WAS the “insurance policy”.

Door #1

Fire mueller and let congress try and impeach Trump for his constitutional authority to fire an underling. No crimes.

Door #2

Wait until mueller presents his laundry list of crimes, misdemeanors, and obstruction of justice to congress in which they will be compelled to impeach Trump. A fig leaf from mueller to the congress. It will be their ‘duty’ to uphold the rule of law dontcha know. This is not IF Mueller will present this report, but when. Why give congress a fig leaf to impeach President Trump?

The horns of a dilemma. This is not that hard people. Obviously, any rational person would go with door #1. If the rat bastards in congress try to impeach trump over nothing but exercising his constitutional authority, it’s GO TIME ANYWAYS.

>> you do not have to list any reason for the loan <<

You may be correct.

But on the other hand, when you arrange a wire transfer for a large sum — even when the funds are completely your own, not borrowed — your bank is supposed to ask you the purpose of your remittance.

(Been there, done that — several times.)

So maybe when you don’t provide truthful info to your bank about the purpose of your W/T, you might be committing some kinda crime.

(Really dunno, but sorta seems plausible. Or do you have contratry info?)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

the other option is to use the barak hussein bin soetoro favorite method of larceny. bribes. & kickbacks: CASH.

just like the $140 billion in unmarked bills he palletized and flew to Iran in the dark of night.

Yes he was/is. This is a massive conspiracy including so called ‘republicans’ like grassley, mcscrotum, and other rinos like Preibus who pushed Sessions for the AG spot. It was orchestrated long ago to protect the swamp/hillary/obama and crooked repubikans.

Jeff ‘the rat bastard’ Sessions is the insurance policy.

> "...a team of FBI agents bearing a search warrant from a federal judge broke in to the offices of the Trump Organization and removed computers, files, tax returns and telephones from Cohen's office."

I know from experience that a person's tax returns, especially those of sophisticated businesses, are a target-rich environment to probe for violations.

I say with confidence that any tax-return from any sophisticated entity, WILL CONTAIN ERRORS AND OMMISSIONS that can be used to drag the taxpayer into endless audits and tax court.

Mueller was trying to get Trump's tax returns last year via IRS Commuissioer Koskinen but Koskinen retired (forced out).

It is possible that Michael Cohen did not keep the President's tax returns. It's also possible that Michael destroyed any tax returns when Mueller was known to have been trying to get them via Koskinen.

The IRS has the tax returns but by law must keep them secret unless the taxpayer agrees to release them or there is a court order to release them.

To get a court order, Mueller would have to convince a judge there is probable cause that the tax returns reveal evidence pertinent to the ongoing criminal investigation.

Mueller's problem is he does not have a crime to go after the President's personal effects. He's a prosecutor in search of a crime unless he is allowed to interview (interrogate) the President, then it's possible he gets the President caught in a perjury trap.

The Global Elites and their Deep State lackeys are formidable foes, for sure. They are so arrogant, they laugh at any attempts to challenge them in any way.

I don’t know if you have noticed it, but that is the smirk that so many of them exhibit so often.

That is how confident they are that they will never be held to account. That may be true in this life, but I would not want to be them in the afterlife. We shall see who laughs last. God will NOT be mocked!!!

>> Lawyers have other means to send funds such as write huge checks <<

Of course. But that truth has nothing to do with the uncontested fact that Mike Cohen made a wire transfer of $130K to the Los Angeles lawyer for Stephanie Clifford.

Also, I know from direct personal experience that when you make a large W/T, the bank may ask you the purpose. If you mislead or lie to the bank, it may or may not be a felony. I just don't know.

>> moved small amounts ($15,000) without any explanation <<

Good point. “Small” amounts may be exempt from reporting.

And maybe W/T’s to foreign banks may fall under different requirements from W/T’s to domestic banks.

Or, your bank may have discretion as to whether it asks you the purpose of a W/T. But if they DO ask you and then you lie to them, you may have committed some kind of crime — even if the sum involved was fairly small.

(Inquiring minds want to know?)

>> How can anyone prosecute a fraud case if nobody can demonstrate any financial harm? <<

Very simple. It's the legal category called malum prohibitum, as opposed to the category called malum in se.

(You can look it up.)

Believe me the attorneys bank/bankers are used to his wiring funds to clients and other law firms. If he took out a loan elsewhere, placed it in his account, he could wire the 130K to another attorney with NO questions asked. I have wired funds exceeding $40K from my primary checking on two occasions in the past five years with zero questions asked.

Yes, when I write a check for cash exceeding $9,999 they do report it.

Just dug further. It appears Cohen set up EC LLC to make the payment from. Limited Liability Corp.’s have much different status then a Corporation. Was that illegal? Shady? I think it was smart. How do you sue an LLC? I do not know.

Not my experience. But even if the bank is not REQUIRED to ask the purpose of your W/T, they may still have the option.

And if you give them a false or misleading answer after they ask you, you may have committed a crime.

I’m not saying it’s so. Just a “maybe.”

Nonetheless, I can assure you that when my bank has asked the question, I’ve given them a truthful answer.
