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.
Ivanka and Don Jr. were most likely, I'd bet my hat on it, were part of the team that was trying to secure the real estate, or the rental of land on which to put the Trump Brand on.....I am just as sure all attempts were dropped when The Donald threw his hat into the ring.
“so just how long is PDJT going to permit/enable this stinking Mueller cancer on America to fester and grow, anyways?”
Judging by his tweets, forever. It sounds like his ‘advisors’ and ‘legal counsel’ have convinced him that Mueller cannot be fired. It’s insane.
Mueller is mentally ill.
When does the mentally ill Mueller open his investigation on Barron?
Plus, Ivanka is probably the greatest ‘moderating influence’ on President Trump, pulling him farther left than he would be otherwise.
These idiot subversive Democrat Operatives, in their zeal to get Donald would sabotage one of their best allies.
“He is trying to get himself fired.”
He’s conducting a COUP. He needed to be fired a year and a half ago and sent to gitmo.
I’ve been saying for months that Mueller and the Democrat media have been pushing these stories for the sole purpose of goading Trump into firing him — because there’s nothing for them to prosecute on merit.
“Is perpetual legal system pervert Robert Mueller just going to be a permanent fixture in Washington spending the rest of his life creating charges against anyone who doesn’t agree with the New World Order?”
It looks like it...What a complete sham. The rule of law is dead, our elections are a joke and the fed govt is irreparably corrupt & illegitimate. Prepare accordingly.
Mueller will be turned into Chicharrones if he messes with Trumps children.
The horror, the horror.
Clinton nothing wrong but oh Ivanka LOLOLOL
Agreed. It’s insane to let mueller keep screwing around —-and self- destructive
Mueller is scummy.
Mueller is a Special Prosecutor tasked with rooting out corruption in Federal officials.
Ivanka is a Federal official HOW, exactly?
Same as Cohen, Papadopoulos, et al....................
“’peach fo fi! “
I’m almost ashamed that I actually understood that reference. I feel dumbed down.
LOL. I feel like I drain ten points from my IQ every time I quote that stupid brain-dead, dumb as a stump witch.
He is among peers in great numbers.
He does nothing. Mueller runs wild. Either fight back or take the consequences. Are you the fucking president or not?
