Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team has questioned several witnesses about millions of dollars in donations to President Donald Trump’s inauguration committee last year, including questions about donors with connections to Russia, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, sources with direct knowledge told ABC News.

Those interviewed included longtime Trump friend and confidant Thomas Barrack, who oversaw the fundraising effort, as well as individuals familiar with the massive inaugural fund, according to sources with direct knowledge.

Funny, I don't remember them conducting an investigation of this nature for either of the Obama inaugurations...

[Wolfie]

Zzzzzzzz....

[VTenigma]

Please stop, just make it stop. I’m beginning to feel like Reagan in The Exorcist.

[Conserv]

YAWN

[Williams]

Simple question: Why?

[Genoa]

[2big2fail]

Is it illegal for foreign donors to donate to an inagural? Doesn’t seem like it would be. Is it?

[1Old Pro]

Did he take a look at the foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation?

[Genoa]

Never mind, links to ABC this time. Same subject is all.

[seanmerc]

I doubt it. He doesn’t want to end up in Fort Marcy Park.

[seanmerc]

Obviously the media have their talking points for the day.

[Meet the New Boss]

This line of investigation must have been authorized in double-secret oral interactions between Rosenstein and Mueller, the existence of which cannot be revealed because of national security, of course.

All of this will be complied in a Mueller dossier which he will present to the DNC before the “blue wave” initiates impeachment proceedings.

Yeah, even after it became public that Obama's campaign had removed all controls on receiving credit-card donations that originated from off-shore accounts.

The other one was HotAir linking to ABC. Yours is direct. But don’t worry, we’ll be treated to a big helping of fake outrage all weekend.

Th is makes no sense.

These donations are in the regular FEC reports.
There’s nothing hidden about them.

And they are after the election.

[Brilliant]

He’s probably looking for a quid pro quo.

[seanmerc]

Is that anything like double-secret probation?

[heights]

Yeah ABC, the story is about donations, not about the FBI sending a Spy into the Trump campaign.

[LIConFem]

Not illegal, nor relevant to Mueller's investigation into Russian/Trump campaign collusion during the election.
