Can anyone source this WaPo art. quote "reportedly looking into unexplained broad financial crimes?

[mikelewis]

If any one of those gets traction in the courts (and Jacobovitz thinks one will), Trump could be investigated for his personal finances as well as his actions as president. Oh, and Mueller's investigation is also reportedly looking into unexplained “broad financial crimes.”

First I heard of Mr? Mueller... Director Mueller?... not sure of his title... anyway... this is from a Washington Post article...

Has anyone else reported on this... can't seem to locate another source.

The seeming multiplicity of investigations speaks for itself. But it is the repeated reference to “financial crimes” or “suspicious financial activity” that grabs my attention.

Experts will tell you that “financial crimes” can often mean technical infractions, ways of structuring or organizing movements of money, failures to disclose, certain actions that are prima facie evidence of efforts to conceal, etc.
This doesn’t mean these are just ‘technicalities’ in the colloquial sense.

They are rather infractions the nature of which may be hard for a layperson to understand but which often end up snaring defendants when other crimes are too difficult to prove.

It sounds like Mueller sees all of that within his purview, in all likelihood because the far-flung business deealings of Trump and his top associates are the membrane across which collusion and quid pro quos could have been conducted.

As I said, a basic perusal of business in the Trump world makes clear that serious legal scrutiny would turn up no end of problems.
Just consider what was from a financial perspective, a tiny island in the Trump archipelago of mischief, The Trump Foundation which David Fahrenthold did so much with.
Almost every rock Fahrenthold overturned exposed some self-dealing, at least legal violations and often real wrongdoing and as much as anything a wild level of sloppiness and indifference to doing business like even semi-honest people.

From one perspective it’s hard to say Trump knowingly broke the law with the Foundation since the whole conduct of the Foundation seemed to be carried on as though none of the relevant laws even existed.
Again, the Foundation was just a sideline for Trump. It’s not where he made his big money and ran off from his biggest obligations.
That’s how they do business.
