President Trump has reportedly asked his lawyers about the possibility of pardons for himself, his family and his inner circle as the investigation into his relationship with Russia deepens.His JOB is to find out how the Russians hacked into the DNC............and influenced elections...................Pardon me?
Special counsel Robert Mueller is looking into President Trump's business transactions as part of the ongoing probe into alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russians who sought to influence the 2016 election, according to a Thursday report in Bloomberg.
The news comes a day after Trump told The New York Times that Mueller would cross a line if he expanded the probe to his business ties.
Mueller is the special counsel appointed by the Justice Department to investigate Russian election meddling and alleged collusion by members of the Trump campaign.
Bloomberg reports the counsel is probing purchases from Russian buyers at Trump properties, the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow, a SoHo development involving Russian associates and Trump's 2008 sale of a Florida mansion to a Russian oligarch.
"Those transactions are in my view well beyond the mandate of the special counsel," Trump’s lawyer John Dowd said in a statement to Bloomberg.
Dowd called the investigation into Trump's finances "unrelated to the election of 2016 or any alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia and most importantly ... well beyond any Statute of Limitation imposed by the United States Code."
The Times separately reported on Wednesday the president’s ties to Deutsche Bank were also facing scrutiny.
The new witch hunt is purely POLITICAL...............and nothing more.....................
It's end game goal........................Attempt to trap Trump on another charge.................since they have been unable to find proof on the 1st............That came straight from Comey under oath...............who openly admitted going public with information when he refused to go public and simply say Trump is not under investigation...................
According to his own testimony he was NEVER ORDERED to end the investigations.......he was NEVER ordered to go public and say Trump is not under investigation.
A suggestion is NOT AN ORDER.......................the witch hunt continues.
That's a great shot of Hillary and her Dem followers.
Trump’s legal team, which has experienced a shake up, has been speaking among themselves about the president’s power to pardon, according to The Washington Post (paywall).
The potential pardons are reportedly just an option and not seriously being considered at the moment.
“This is not in the context of, ‘I can’t wait to pardon myself,’ ” a close adviser told the paper.
Meanwhile, Trump’s longtime lawyer Marc Kasowitz, has taken a smaller roll for the team working for him in the Russia probe, CNN
