Mueller invest'g "suitcases & duffels" of CASH from Russia to TRUMP CAMPAIGN

[iceberg]

I think it is safe to say that PUTIN WANTED TRUMP TO WIN!! Follow the money? Note the very last sentence. There has never been an accounting of TRUMP'S MASSIVE inauguration fund. They've refused. Hey, RACHEL (Maddow), WHERE ARE YOU?? She's been mentioning this for months.

Either way, their story suggests that one way Russia might have injected
money into the American political system for the 2016 election and beyond
was not via traceable and accountable electronic transfers, but the
old-fashioned delivery of cold, hard cash.

Flying around stacks of cash is a time-honored way to get money into
circulation in a distant place with no one in between learning
about it — most of the time.

If Russian officials were shipping cash to the United States in 2016 for
deposit in American bank accounts, which were then the apparently legitimate
points of origination for payments to political campaigns or political action
committees, it could have been a powerful and deniable source of influence.

Investigations: Mueller sends the feds to meet some international arrivees; new sanctions on some powerful, wealthy Russians

A gleaming new Gulfstream 650 — or maybe it's a Sukhoi business jet — sweeps in for a landing at Teterboro Airport, the suburban New Jersey entrepôt for elite fliers on their way to nearby Manhattan. The sleek aircraft turns smartly off the runway and heads for the "executive passenger terminal," where a row of black vehicles is parked and waiting as usual. But when the hatch folds down to permit passengers to deplane and make their short drive into New York, someone is standing in the way:

That, at least, was the scene painted in an exclusive report by CNN's Kara Scannell and Shimon Prokupecz. Mueller himself might not be standing on the tarmac, but FBI investigators from his office have interdicted at least two wealthy Russians recently on their way into the United States, they report.

The special counsel's office is apparently trying to establish whether powerful Russians who owe fealty to President Vladimir Putin — the oft-referenced "oligarchs" —may have funneled cash donations to President Trump's campaign or his inauguration fund.


The Russia Sanctions Saga: Weapons Dealers, Mobsters And Suitcases Full Of Cash

On Friday, the Treasury Department targeted some of those same oligarchs for a new round of sanctions, along with a number of other Russian government officials and entities — including the state weapons exporter. And here was the description Treasury gave of the conduct of one targeted Russian, gold baron Suleiman Kerimov:

"He is alleged to have brought hundreds of millions of euros into France – transporting as much as 20 million euros at a time in suitcases, in addition to conducting more conventional funds transfers – without reporting the money to French tax authorities.

More money, more problems

That pattern of conduct, and the nature of the interdictions described by Scannell and Prokupecz, raise questions about how long this smuggling of cash might have gone on. The CNN story suggests investigators want to know whether it might have gone into Trump's inauguration accounts — or whether it continues to this day....

OP, you know they got nuthin when they say, "may have been","might be", "I smell smoke", "maybe", "right around the corner", "please God, give me something", "just keep saying maybe and some smuck will believe it and continue the rumor", "let's just make up some shit". It's all code for, "we STILL got nuthin".

Don't be an ass! We aren't conjecturing. Though we remain STUNNED. We know the big picture. We're 'following along' with all the details, disclosures and the specifics of WHO, what, when, where and why! Just like I followed along with Watergate 40 years ago and I was as political as a DOORKNOB then. (Though, in full disclosure, I despised NIXON too. And that made not one GD bit of difference on what was investigated, disclosed, charged and the final OUTCOMES. I wish I wielded that much power!)

So it's political, current events, and it's going up on the board. DEAL!

Russian politician Alexander Torshin, with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, is one of a number of powerful Russians sanctioned by the United States on Friday.

Let me help you understand English:
If I smack you in the face, you might get pissed off and maybe even try to smack me back.
Did I smack you in the face?

def. of hypothetical: imagined or suggested but not necessarily real or true...

What on earth would the Trump campaign be able to do with bags of cash? No company is going to accept a stack of cash as payment. All it would do is raise questions.

Thank you, Captain obvious.
