Following Michael Cohens guilty plea for lying to Congress, Special Counsel Robert Mueller has reportedly pivoted to investigating President Trumps 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.
Muellers court documents against Cohen seem to reference the Trump childrens 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 fathers inauguration.
The President himself has laid stake to that claim.
When Im running for president that doesnt mean Im 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 Muellers 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.
This is silly appoint a special counsel who is as partisan as these guys and tell him or her to model their investigation tactics after what Mueller is doing since everyone says that is so great go after Hillary and the Clinton foundation and Comey,Huma and the whole crew for God’s sake. We’re going to let every non existing business deal in Russia be used against our president meanwhile Hillary gave our uranium to a Russian company while getting millions for the Clinton foundation from Russian oligarchs and we are going to let her run for president again? This is absurd. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander
Agreed.
How could you go after ivanka and not go after Huma and Wiener?
I interpret this as Muley baiting Trump to fire him
///////////////////////
Exactly.
Trump will destroy Mueller but never fire him.
If he makes such a lovely lady cry just once some night because it hurts her, then he is a cad. i think Witchfinder Mueller has no authority because there was no crime stipulated in the mandate and so anything he does is the rotten ‘fruit of the poison tree’ and the Presidents’ daughter is the damsel in distress.
Mueller and his team need to be investigated.
Mueller think it’s illegal for an American to build investment property in Russia???
Time to face facts, Muller is in charge of the USA.....
Is this fake “news” ?
When Mueller finally meets his maker, he’s going to have an eternity to think about what he’s done.
This is not political; this is not trickery; this is not showmanship. This is pure evil.
Going a little far afield of his original mandate, isn’t he? Shouldn’t any allegations of wrong-doing be investigated by the New York authorities, state and federal?
Mueller has stretched his investigation far beyond that which he was hired for. It is time to trim him back to the original ‘Trump-Russia collusion’ to influence the election. He was never tasked with investigating Ivanka Trump. He was entrusted with investigating Trump working with Russia to get dirt on Hillary Clinton, that’s all. After a year and a half of nothing, time has come to cut him loose.
“He is trying to get himself fired.”
Good point, Its the only way he can get out of this without admitting it was a witch hunt. He could always say he wasn’t permitted to finish his job.
That may be his strategy. Make Trump angry enough to fire him and then impeach him for obstruction of justice.
Friggin’ Nazi bastard. Mueller needs to be in prison. SOB.
And it just so happens to be all negative against Trump, et al.
Who is going to want to run for office after this kind of stuff?
I wish Donald Trump would man up and go after the criminals.
But all he has done is tweet.
