NYT bombshell: Trump sons cash in on $1.6 billion federal mining deal

[LeftofLeft]

You think the DoJ is going to investigate Trump’s family?

Are you crazy?

DoJ is not the only way to investigate.

 

[Marener]

DoJ is not the only way to investigate.

They’re the ones with the ability to issue subpoenas and compel testimony.

You have other ideas?

Democrats in the House get power, they can subpoena. Journalists can investigate provided they stick to facts and align with laws.

 

[Zincwarrior]

??? Congressional/government enrichment is another issue.

Its all the same. Politicians getting rich off insider trading, nepotism, and contracts to friends and relatives at the local, state, and federal level.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Democrats in the House get power, they can subpoena. Journalists can investigate provided they stick to facts and align with laws.

And they will, in a big way.

 

[Marener]

Democrats don’t have power and if they did, Trump will stonewall with lawsuits and delay it by years. Journalists did investigate.

Republicans and the DoJ don’t care about corruption as long as it’s from the Trump dynasty. That’s what this proves.

 

[TimFitz]

If there is corruption, investigate it. I’ll back it. The point is now all of the sudden your side is concerned with children of Presidents using their fathers to profit. Never heard a word from your side around Hunter Biden and Chelsea Clinton.

The corruption is out in the open and obvious.

Donald Trump used a White House meeting with Kazak leaders to get them to invest in his son's mining operation, and to subsidize that operation with your money.

That is called influence peddling. Of course there will be no investigation with a GOP Congress and Todd Blanche, who thinks that being Trump's lawyer is the same as being the Attorney General.

It will be investigated in due course.

I fully expect you to be bleating whatever Trump rationalization to repeat in lieu of seeing the obvious.

It's the Trump cult pattern.

 

[Meathead]

Endorsing corruption just because it "pisses off the libs" is about as stupid as you can get!

Pissing off libs is so cool and so easy. It's the snowflakes' problem.

Trump’s sons are profiting off of their father’s connections, including in a previously-undisclosed deal over a lucrative metal.

‘“Their sons were soon doing business with partners in a deal that their fathers were negotiating, continuing a pattern of self-enrichment in the second Trump administration that has few precedents in American history,” wrote The New York Times’ Paul Sonne and Eric Lipton on Sunday. The report covered how Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump availed themselves of a meeting between Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Kazakhstan President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in September to grant a little-known American company called Kaz Resources access to their tungsten mines.

Prior to that meeting, the Trump administration approved preliminary applications for up to $1.6 billion in federal financing for Kaz Resources to break ground on the project in rural Kazakhstan. Dominari Securities, which is partly owned by the Trump sons, agreed to take a 20 percent stake in the tungsten projects.’

Needless to say, Trump won’t be held accountable for his crimes and corruption – including this most recent example.

Trump Cult members will lie about this being ‘fake news.’

And Trump will continue his pattern of criminal self-enrichment with impunity; safe from an impeachment process rendered impotent by blind partisan Republicans in support of a despotic Imperial Presidency.

Nice to see the presidents family investing in America’s future and with valuable rare earth mins instead of being a paid pawn for corrupt Russian tied natural gas companies

Of course if Dems take power they will do all they can to destroy American companies investing in Americas future

 

[LeftofLeft]

And they will, in a big way.

I have no doubt. Obama was the one who ushered in the era of rewarding friends and punishing enemies.

I find your side full of shit to calling Trump out for using White House and influence peddling when you stayed silent as Clinton, Obama, and Biden did it regularly.

Your silence all of those years over influencing peddling as you standing in sand at the moment trying to hold Trump accountable. Then again, you may be very consistent in not giving two shits about influence peddling when all you really care about is getTrump.

No, US Grant's admin and Lyndon Johnson personally were both infamous for it.

It is not the only instance of insider trading...

 

[Mac-7]

The current DoJ isn’t going to lift a finger against Trump’s corrupt kids. It’d be career suicide.

What law did they break?

 

[Marener]

What law did they break?

So it's legal for the president's kids to take money for businesses and then get them government favors through their dad?

Just checking.

I suppose you think we have so much tungston laying around that the deal would never happen unless someone greased Trump’s paws

Oh, my mistake. Of course Trump's kids are universally noted as experts in the mineral extraction business whose knowledge and history is well known the world over.

Right?

Oh wait.

There is no bigger snowflake than Donald Trump.

Whose corruption you just endorsed.
