The Russia investigation will probably not end well
Over the past three decades, at least 13 people with known or alleged links to Russian mobsters or oligarchs have owned, lived in, and even run criminal activities out of Trump Tower and other Trump properties. Many used his apartments and casinos to launder untold millions in dirty money. Some ran a worldwide high-stakes gambling ring out of Trump Tower — in a unit directly below one owned by Trump. Others provided Trump with lucrative branding deals that required no investment on his part. [The New Republic]
Trump could have been blissfully unaware of all that. But Mueller and his team of prosecutors will be scrutinizing all those arrangements carefully, and doing so will probably require a look at the tax returns Trump has been so emphatic about keeping from public view. Even if they aren't released to the public, chances are there are some tidbits within them that will send investigators in even more interesting directions.
