Is the money laundering of Trump and others, including the Russians, being handled by SDNY or

Mueller. You rarely hear it mentioned, other than investigations of Cohen, which I'm thinking was turned over to SDNY.

I should think that crime would be easier to prove, so if they can't get him on the 2016 election fiasco, he can surely spend time for money laundering.

I guess what I'm asking is, "Is money laundering and business practices of Trump and family, along with the Russians and others involved in the Trump administration still in the works?" I guess I would be so disappointed if Trump and others were able to slither away from prosecution like they apparently have been able to do in the past. He truly needs to understand no one is above the law and, POTUS or not, he needs to pay for his crimes.

1. Mueller, Schneiderman, tax officials etc

are all working together. My money is on RICO charges by AG Schneiderman.

2. Good! I was hoping they wouldn't leave anything out, thinking they would concentrate on

the federal violations.

Schneiderman seemed to be dedicated to taking the whole group down. I'm glad he's on it.

3. Louise Mensch says there's already a sealed indictment on RICO.

5. I read that as well

Lots of folks here and other places have given mensch a lot of crap over the past year or so, seems more than not she’s been proven right

6. I commented about this on that Mensch thread

It's not outlandish to suggest this, bearing in mind two things
Firstly, Mueller would have had Trump's tax returns from early on in his investigation, Deutsche Bank records and other fact based evidence.

Secondly, he similarly had Manafort filleted based on money laundering charges.

Mueller would have access to all the evidence he would have needed to have a Grand Jury indictment on Trump.

It clearly suits Mueller's job to hold back on this until his investigation into the other strands like Russian interference etc are completed, because it will all blow up if he indicts Trump now.
