(60,010 posts)The same types as Sater, and Stone. They are from crooked families, too. It is as if he wanted to find guys whose fathers had done time in prison for shady money dealing....like Trump's father,. and Jared's father.
That still not completed hotel in Baku, the one Ivanka goes to like clockwork every month to "inspect" but which is being built in a place where no tourist or business people would go to, the roads are half completed, etc. Trump's business partner there is a known gangster who launders money for the state mob.
Meanwhile the Toronto Hotel just went bankrupt...another shady partner,.
The one being planned in Dallas is now called off, actually as a result of Trump backlash.
But the partner that the Dallas paper interviewed is another crooked Trump man, shady dealings, shady income.
amazing how Trump finds these guys, ya know?

(2,198 posts)We just are not doing a good enough job of getting and explaining this stuff to the red staters. Sure, most would shrug it off but enough of them would be aghast at the corruption and dishonesty of Trump and his surrogates. They have no way of understanding this because thy keep watching FOX and all those outlets with fake news.

Along the way, DJT paid Trump $39 million in salary, bonuses, options and other compensation. -- http://money.cnn.com/2016/10/02/investing/donald-trump-tax-returns-public-investors/

(14,302 posts)There are a couple of other candidates for that, but he is by far the most likely.
RICO could be any of the major players. Nance says this will eventually lead to Trump and take him down. It seems likely to me they would focus on smaller fish first and work their way up. That would place a lot of pressure on Trump to resign, which I expect him to fight. His ego won't let him go. That means we get to watch him stand helplessly by while his party crumbles around him.

(1,353 posts)Taylor and others are saying possible weeks before this blows open, and Taylor thinks the FBI wants a giant net so no one gets away. No drip, but a tsunami of indictments...oh I can not wait and I don't care if the government blows up, this administration and family needs to go and go to prison... Forget the protest marches...there will be dancing in the streets!!

However, one thing is for sure. Its well known that a grand jury usually offers up an indictment. There is a saying that claims a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich. If a grand jury is convened, there is a great chance that indictments could be brought against Trump and that the president of the United States would face criminal charges.

(48,999 posts)The Republicon Party stole the Electoral College.
There are only two reasonable solutions: 1) Declare the majority vote winner President Hillary Clinton; 2) Hold Presidential elections in 2018.
In any case, whatever happens, tRump must not be allowed to appoint any judges because he is in the last year of his Minority Presidency.
