97. What?

Dec 2017

The only thing I’m saying here is that they’re not looking for money laundering in the Trump Organization.

They might not have started the investigation in that direction but the indictments that have come down so far and the types of prosecutors that have been brought on board to date, who are experts in such, strongly suggests they are looking in that direction - again as a potential motive.

And I have absolutely no expectation of anything happening to Drumpf anytime soon. The Watergate break-in happened in 1972 and it took a year before the evidence began to mount regarding who was behind it, leading to another year's worth of hearings and court cases until such point that Nixon was finally cornered and resigned 2 years after the initial episode.

We are still at the beginning of this....
