re: Red Line Alert! Mueller expands probe into Trump business transactions

From the article:

quote:

---

. The information was provided by someone familiar with the developing inquiry but not authorized to speak publicly.

---

So - criminal charges on this leaker?

quote:

---

FBI agents had already been gathering information about Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, according to two people with knowledge of that probe. Prosecutors hadn’t yet begun presenting evidence to a grand jury. Trump fired Bharara in March.

---

I seem to remember tons of threads on here about grand jury indictments coming down. Fake news.

quote:

---

As part of their investigation, Mueller’s team has issued subpoenas to banks and filed requests for bank records to foreign lenders under mutual legal assistance treaties, according to two of the people familiar with the matter.

---

Seems reasonable.

I don't understand the issue with any of this honestly.

quote:

---

Comey was investigating Trump?

---

Probably at least indirectly through associates. I can promise you there was some spying going on for sure.

quote:

---

Trump told us he had no business dealings in Russia or with Russians

---

Not while sanctions, I mean the adoption ban is in place.

quote:

How is this expanding the probe. They are looking for any business relationship and money exchanges in the financials...How is this not a normal probe?

---

I agree with what your saying .
My analysis is that this is similar to the Comey-Hillary "re-opening ".
They knew false information was going to come out that wouldve destroyed public trust, narrative etc.
So they came out in front of it

quote:

---

Comey was investigating Trump?

---

I mean, Trump said on national television that Comey's Russia investigation was part of his consideration in firing Comey

quote:

---

Are you seriously asserting that Russians buying property from trump is a crisis causing event?

---

It is a crisis for him and his ilk -

to them, the only people capable of properly leading a nation of 300 million people are those who have never done anything in their lives except make rhetorical flourishes which promise that someone else will pay for every desire you have. They only want people in control who have never owned anything except dirt on their opponents - those whose only accomplishments are tearing down opponents' character and destroying their lives - those who can lie without consequence.

To this group of people, a person who has led a normal life is the worst possible candidate for public office. And in fact, the 'rules' of 'how to succeed' are completely biased against normalcy and in favor of 'promise them anything' and take care to preserve 'plausible deniability.'

NORMAL people don't think that way - so when a progressive-advocate gets on the trail of a NORMAL person, they can find any 'violation' of their arcane 'rules' they want.

This is the swamp that needs draining - and salted so it cannot sprout again.

Dang could Wilbur Ross be caught up in some of this?

Nothing will come of this.

I feel quite confident that we will get at least 10 arrests out of this probe. It is doubtful that trump will be arrested though. Nor will he be impeached.

And while he likely has engaged in money laundering, just b.c what real estate developer doesn't do it? It is very difficult to nail somone on money laundering. trump is no different.
