Investigators looking into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia will be able to pursue leads by tapping into a huge database of suspicious financial transactions maintained by the federal government.
Under the Bank Secrecy Act, financial institutions operating in the U.S. are supposed to inform the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, when they see transactions that indicate possible money laundering, such as all-cash purchases of expensive real estate.
"Congress has kind of shifted the focus here to the money, and they're trying to see if there's a money trail that could link and identify different participants," says Jimmy Gurulé, a law professor at the University of Notre Dame and a former Treasury Department official.
Looking Into Trump Campaign's Russia Ties, Investigators Follow The Money
this is like the Capone take-down in that the Feds couldn't nail him for his many many murders and extortions, but they could nail him for hiding his nefarious sources of income and thus not paying taxes. Trump, both his sons, Manafort, Flynn and Stone are neck deep in associations with Russian oligarchs and various money laundering banks in Cyprus.
Mueller is going to be a very busy man for months and months while Trump enjoys his nightly nightmares lol
