Sen. Ron Wyden seeking admin records on Trump's sale of mansion to Russian - CNNPolitics

Wyden's letter outlined how Donald Trump bought a 6.3-acre property in Florida for $41.35 million in 2004 and then sold that property to a company owned by the businessman four years later. The sale price to Rybolovlev more than doubled Trump's initial investment, to $95 million. The property's appraisal in 2008 fell short of that sale price by $30 million, Wyden said.


Money Laundering anyone?

sorry winger, nothing illegal there. making a profit on a real estate transaction is not against the law. Selling property to a Russian is not illegal.

Your desperation and Trump-hate is making you more stupid than usual.

A property that has sat on the market for two years and suddenly gets an offer of $30 million more than it is worth?

Looks like someone using real estate transactions to funnel money to Trump

Unless you can provide the quid for the pro quo, it was just a rich Russian wanting property in Florida.

Shall we talk about Hillary's commodities deal? If the topic is quid pro quo that should be discussed.

I see the sale of a property that increased in value. Is it money laundering becasuse he sold the house to the Russian? Hey, whoever has the money....

It is money laundering because he received $30 million more than the property was appraised for

Convenient way to funnel money to Trump

Hey, it's not my fault if Russians are too stupid to know what property is worth

People with money often pay more than an appraised value if they really want the item for sale.

Money Laundering anyone?

The sale price in 2008, when property values in Florida were cratering, was almost double the asking price. Last but not least, the property had been on the market for 2 years without a single offer, prior to the sale.

It’s also to be noted that the client the Russian lawyer Junior met with was in the US to defend, was accused of money laundering through the purchase of expensive New York real estate.

After the Inauguration, Jeff Sessions settled her case for 2 cents on the dollar, fining her client $3 million and returning $237 million to the oligarch, with no admission of guilt.

And our President has claimed he has had no dealings with Russia

It's not a dealing with Russia, but with a Russian.

Moron......the property was in shambles....The Russian oligarch NEVER even saw the damn piece of property.

This was a payoff to Trump who desperately needed money.......NO U.S. bank would lend a fucking dollar to the orange buffoon after his many business failures...he HAD to go to the Russians.

No other property in the US increased in value in 2008. Properties were losing value in 2008.

The preferred method of Russian money laundering in through the purchase of expensive American Real Estate.

Trump was dead broke when Putin was elected. When oligarchs started laundering money buying Manhattan Real Estate, Trumps’ fortunes improved immensely.

Trumps bank just paid a $100 million dollar fine for money laundering.

If we were to swap out the name “Trump” and substitute the name “Clinton” in these stories, Republicans would be convening a Congressional Investigation and hiring a Special Counsel for the prosecution.

There’s more evidence of Trump laundering money from Oligarchs than there ever was for the Clinton involvement in Whitewater.

Russians have bought half of London in order to legitimise their money. Its worth a look.

and the Japanese have bought half of Hawaii, nothing illegal in either case.

It looks like an irregular transaction. Are you not at least curious ?

no more curious than when a Japanese buys a property for over its value in Hawaii, then demolishes the home and builds a new one for millions more. People with money do stupid things.

But what are Rybolovlevs connections to Putin?

Given the Bank Secrecy Act, the very "best" way to launder money is through real estate.......Just look at who is buying Trump's shitty condos and other properties....

Russians Flock to Trump Properties to Give Birth to U.S. Citizens

Trump sold $35M in real estate in 2017, mostly to secretive buyers

Most Trump condos were sold to secretive buyers | New York Post

Russians paid $98.4M for units at Trump-branded South Florida condos

yes it is. Uranium one comes to mind, Bill Clinton's speaking fees in Moscow come to mind. The clinton foundation and its Haiti donations comes to mind. Are you equally curious about those?

It's not a dealing with Russia, but with a Russian.

A Russian government official who bought South Florida condos branded by President Donald Trump has heard an unwelcome refrain: You’re fired.

Igor Zorin lost his job running a state-owned Russian communications firm after a Miami Herald investigation revealed he owned multi-million dollar condos at Trump Palace in Sunny Isles Beach — and had ties to members of a South Florida motorcycle club dedicated to Russia’s special forces, the Spetsnaz.

Russian officials aren’t allowed to own foreign corporations like the Florida limited liability companies Zorin used to buy the condos. They must also disclose any overseas properties, which Zorin failed to do.

His firing, reported last week by the Russian newspaper Kommersant, comes after Russian prosecutors ruled his investments violated the nation’s anti-corruption laws.

I understand. You are terrified that Trump's policies will be enacted, because you know that they will be good for America and Americans.


And you are desperate for ANYTHING, to distract from that.


Your desire for a fishing expedition is dismissed.

So, NOT a move by the Russian government. Good to know.


Kind of explains his recklessness with money too,


people tend to not respect money they stole.

In case you haven't heard
Republicans have controlled Congress for four years

They have thoroughly audited the Clinton Foundation and found no irregularities. If they had, it would have been front and center in the election
