I was just watching that on TV. The FBI has been asked for months to release details of their Russia/Trump connection and refuse to comment.
Here’s what we know about Donald Trump and his ties to Russia
Donald Trump Jr. made that very claim at a real estate conference in New York in 2008, saying “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets.” Donald Trump Jr. added, “we see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.”
He told reporters this week that he would “be looking at” whether to recognize Russia’s annexation of Crimea and lift sanctions imposed when Russia invaded the Ukrainian region in 2014.
And he declined to call for Russia to stay out of the U.S. election.
---------------------------------
Add in the Trump Foundation scam covering several states and the FBI has plenty of material they are totally ignoring.
This is even worse than GOP voter suppression.
What exactly is the law Trump broke? Talking to a foreign government we have diplomatic relations with?
Let me list a few.
You can't start a Foundation without state approval. It has to be certified.
It never was. There is no certification. That's against the law. That's why he received a "cease and desist" order.
He used it as a tax shelter. Because it's a charitable Foundation. That's against the law because it was never certified.
He paid a bribe from it to the Attorney General of Florida who tried to return it. The IRS fined him for that. The bribe is against the law. And that bribe is currently under investigation.
He collected money from outside the state. The puts it across state lines. That means the FBI should be investigating. They may or may not be. Who knows. No one is talking about it.
He bought an unknown number of personal items using Charity money to pay for the items. Just that is against the law. A painting costing many thousands is hanging in one of his Golf courses.
He hadn't given any money to the Foundation since 2008. And he boasts about spending "OPM" (other people's money). Now we know what he's talking about.
So what happens once the investigations are complete? He could be ordered to return all the money the foundation received going back to the when the statute of limitations cuts off. Until they do an audit, it's not known how many millions he will have to pay back. And pay it he will. Probably a hefty fine as well. The Foundation was never certified. It's a scam.
Then there is Trump University. The first court date will be November 28th, 20 days after the election. If Trump loses, which he probably will, he will be open for criminal charges for Fraud and Racketeering.
And he is scheduled to talk in a rape case in December. After his public admission that he grabs women and forces himself on them, he has already provided the evidence.
After all that, Trump could have the shortest presidency in history. We may end up with President Pence for the next four years.
