In 2008, Donald Trump Jr. attended a real estate conference, where he stated that

Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets. We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.

As it turns out, that may have been an understatement. Human rights lawyer Scott Horton, whose work in the region goes back to defending Andrei Sakharov and other Soviet dissidents, has gone through a series of studies by the Financial Times to show how funds from Russian crime lords bailed Trump out after yet anther bankruptcy. The conclusions are stark.

Among the powerful facts that DNI missed were a series of very deep studies published in the [Financial Times] that examined the structure and history of several major Trump real estate projects from the last decade—the period after his seventh bankruptcy and the cancellation of all his bank lines of credit. ...

The money to build these projects flowed almost entirely from Russian sources. In other words, after his business crashed, Trump was floated and made to appear to operate a successful business enterprise through the infusion of hundreds in millions of cash from dark Russian sources.

He was their man.

Can you imagine if this were Hillary we were learning about?

[underpants]

2. I saw basically the same story last week via alternet

With links to the 3 Financial Times articles.

This is why no tax returns.

4. Comey/FBI tore down Hillary but IRS

can't say a word about Trump's tax returns. Go figure

[wordpix]

3. and with all this info, Crime Boss Trump is still getting inaugurated

WTF? The laws only apply to Dems but repukes can do what they want?

[hurple]

5. Yep

That's pretty much how it works.

And, even when the Dems don't break any laws, they'll make ones up just for the occasion. (See: Hillary email)

Their press and surrogates will repeat the lies (either pro-repub or anti-dem) ad naseum, and all their followers eyes will glass over and they'll drool agreement. And, when the *real* press stands up to correct the fallacy they'll be laughed off as the lamestream, liberal media.

Rinse. Repeat.

It's turned into an alt-reality cult.

The cycle HAS to stop, or Dems will NEVER hold power again. Ever.

The question is, though, how do you stop it?

[Soxfan58]

9. How do we do it?

Elect dems with backbones. We cant be nice anymore!

[triron]

14. where is the media on this???

They have been complicit and even giving Trump free advertising since day 1 of the primary.
What's with that? Is it just ratings???

[tenorly]

15. It's the media bosses themselves.

Like most corporate bosses, they've been itching for an extreme kind of GOP regime that would basically cut their taxes down to zero (or better yet, a negative effective tax rate) and let them offshore everything with no regulations.

6. How much more clear does this have to get?

(1) Trump was in financial trouble up to his eyeballs circa 1990's
(2) Person or Persons unknown, most likely from Russia, agreed to bail him out.
(3) The 'insurance marker' created to make sure Trump made good on his note (via blackmail) is most likely a sexually compromising recording.
(4) The Russian hierarchy saw an opportunity during the 2016 election to get their hooks deeper into the US by aiding and abetting Trump's victory, knowing full well that Trump would do as Russia told him to because of #3 above.
(5) Trump and our election were compromised by a foreign government and are thus null and void.

If this isn't obvious to the most casual observer by now, then they are willfully blind.

[get the red out]

8. I am baffled!

A Democrat would have been hounded by the media long before this point.

We really can't get any media action on this organized crime figure that is about to become President. We are supposed to just be Democrats "crying" who need to "get over it". SHIT!

[cbdo2007]

10. Nobody who can do anything has the guts to stand up to him and lose their status.

They all are too much about being career politicians themselves so nobody is willing to put themselves on the line. This makes me wonder If we could ever impeach him for anything. He probably really could shoot somebody and they wouldn't do anything. This is insane.

33. In 1990, a banker bailed him out.after Trump crashed Atlantic City holdings.

Meet Wilbur Ross, who once bailed out Trump in Atlantic City and is now his pick for Commerce secretary

The future president-elect at one time owned a quarter of Atlantic City’s casino market. But Trump was heavily in debt, and he started missing bond payments on his — and Atlantic City’s — largest casino, the Taj Mahal, in 1990.

Ross, then an investment banker working for Rothschild Inc., helped bondholders negotiate with Trump, whose finances were unraveling. The final deal reduced Trump’s ownership stake in the Taj but left him in charge, and bondholders were unhappy when Ross presented the plan.

This is Trump's business pattern....he borrows lots of money ( originally on his father's reputation), spends the income from his projects, fails to pay off the loans, then gets bailed out.
He then gives up the properties in exchange for living expenses and the use of his name on the properties, tho why that charade has lasted so long is bewildering.
however, Trump long ago stated that the trick to wealth is O.P.M.---Other People's Money.

[spanone]

7. so he lied to america on his first press conference as pres-elect...charming

[tinrobot]

11. I suspect the birth certificate thing was also for Russia

Seems like the timing is right. He gets Russian money, and then starts trying to delegitimize the US President.

[elmac]

18. very good observation

and very correct also. Putins hatred for President Obama and sec Clinton is only surpassed by his hatred for America.

[MadLinguist]

24. Makes total sense. It was always a mystery

why the trumpster was weighing in on Obama's birthplace back then. He really had no dog in the fight back in 2008. But your speculation sure fits the timeline.

[Mr. Evil]

12. So, would these "dark Russian sources"

be the same ones that are involved in 'mail order bride' scams, drug trafficking, human trafficking, kiddie porn, internet scams and a host of other human brutality and depravity?

Nice company Trump keeps.

[elmac]

19. Yes, that be them nt

[TygrBright]

13. "Learning" about? Did anybody NOT know this? (Other than deliberately, of course.) n/t

[elmac]

20. yes, tRump himself

plus his boys Uday and Qusay and some advisers no doubt. Probably putins man Comey, some agents, ect...

[TygrBright]

25. LOL... point to you. n/t

[NewJeffCT]

16. Didn't a Saudi Prince bail him out of another bankruptcy?

I think by bigly overpaying for the Trump yacht.

So, Russian mobsters and the Saudis, who have connections to terrorism.

[IronLionZion]

17. Teflon Don

What will it take before America has had enough of him?

[VOX]

21. DJT, Jan. 2017: "I have no dealings with Russia"

“Trump, September, 2016: Discussed his 2013 trip to Moscow in an interview on Hugh Hewitt's show. “I was with the top-level people, both oligarchs and generals, and top of the government people. I can’t go further than that, but I will tell you that I met the top people, and the relationship was extraordinary."
FACT: Trump has repeatedly sought business in Russia as far back as 1987. I have no dealings with Russia...I have no deals that could happen in Russia because we’ve stayed away.”

INCURIOUS, FAT, GREASY LIAR.

[erpowers]

22. Mark Burnett

Timothy O' Brien, the author of Trump Nation wrote that Mark Burnett also helped to bail out Donald Trump. O'Brien claimed, in Trump Nation, that before the launch of The Apprentice Trump was almost broke. O' Brien went on to claim that once The Apprentice started Trump signed a number of licensing deal that brought him new money.

23. Seventh Bankruptcy?

I knew about four bankruptcies, but I did not know about seven. Is that a typo?

[Squinch]

26. kick

[bucolic_frolic]

27. If Obama was born in Kenya ....

Trump really was financed in Moscow

and House Democrats, though in the minority, should find a way to
caucus their flock and vote 55 times to impeach Trump!

[JudyM]

28. Wondering whether it was all paid back or if he still owes the. Of course he "owes" them, but

has the money repayment been recorded publicly in any way?

[Hekate]

34. If you take a loan from a mobster, the vig ensures you NEVER finish paying them in full

[Skittles]

29. he called Hillary CROOKED

this bastard is as crooked as they come

[iluvtennis]

32. Yep. Calling Hillary crooked and chanting lock her up were projections onto her...

...of what is actually attributable to him. The #TraitorTrump is a master at projecting onto someone else. GAH

[Hekate]

35. Always, always, always a projection of himself

[Angry Dragon]

30. Trump has been dirty before he was born

[ashredux]

31. The Donald gone first year

The Donald will not make it past the first year...even the GOP will have to cut bait

[Grammy23]

36. Yep....the snowball of truth is aimed at tRump.

It is just a matter of time before he gets smacked up side his pumpkin head with the evidence. Even his most loyal followers will see and know how he played them and tried to do the same with those of us not so gullible. Whether they will abandon their "hero/savior" remains to be seen, but enough of the rest of us will turn the tide against the liar in chief. May that be sooner rather than later.

[SHRED]

37. So why isn't the M$M on to this?
