FBI counterintel investigating Ivanka Trump business dea

[RandySF]

(CNN)US counterintelligence officials are scrutinizing one of Ivanka Trump's international business deals, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

The FBI has been looking into the negotiations and financing surrounding Trump International Hotel and Tower in Vancouver, according to a US official and a former US official. The scrutiny could be a hurdle for the first daughter as she tries to obtain a full security clearance in her role as adviser to President Donald Trump.

It's standard procedure to probe foreign contacts and international business deals as part of a background check investigation. But the complexity of the Trump Organization's business deals, which often rely on international financing and buyers, presents a challenge.

1. Yes. About time. No sooner was dad in the WH, Ivanka was off to

China to sign on to over 100 patents in their name.

The profiteering began immediately & has never stopped.

2. CNN Wolf Blitzer is speaking with Den. Blumenthal

who thinks both Jared and Ivanka should both leave the W House. He and others will write a letter
asking for an investigation regarding the conflict of interest with the Kushner's and this will go to the Ethics Committee. This was tried before the inauguration and nothing was done. Walter Shaub, the former head of Ethics tried and tried before he resigned and got no where due to the GOP. I even wrote a letter to him in Jan 2017, poor man was up against a brick wall and his hands were tied.

3. What about the Trump Tower Baku in Azerbaijan?

Ivanka was the most senior Trump Organization official on that very shady project, and if you have ever read anything about it, it's hard to believe that it was a completely above-board venture.

4. It'll become a lot more than one.

5. The FBI is a meanie -- it tilts left towards the DEMs.
