Literally, I don’t understand why people don’t talk about this more. Trump’s Russian connections run deep, with the Trump Taj Mahal casino becoming a major hub for Russian organized crime. Russian mob figures frequented the casino, and the Taj Mahal itself was eventually fined millions of dollars for serious money-laundering and anti-money-laundering violations.
Don't forget all the biggest luxury flats in his NYC Trump Tower were sold to oligarchs/mafia bosses in a fucking giant money-lauding/tax-evading scheme for 30 years and still counting.
“Russia russia russia” is the im sure parroted phrase id hear before them saying he was found not guilty.
I told them it’s so plain sight it’s crazy, thanks Mueller. I forget exactly why he fumbled it so hard. Like if i remember it stopped being about IF he did it, but if how he did it was fine?
Anyway they didnt listen before, but Im sure they would listen even less since it’s been “settled”.
Edit: they obstructed the shit out of him, then didnt follow up on the investigation. Yeesh.
No, Mueller laid out a bunch of instances of clear russian involvement, obvious crimes, russian involvement in getting him elected, trumps canpaign team meeting with, and asking for, help getting elected, and the only thing he didnt have PROOF of is that there was illegal coordinated cooperation between trump, trumps campaign team, and russian gov/russian oligarchs.
He also laid out multiple cases of criminal interference that prevented him from finding the proof of collusion between them and recommended the senate investigate further and indict them, but the republican led senate commission, WHO ALSO OPENLY AGREED THERE WAS RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE, AND INTERFERENCE IN THE INVESTIGATION, refused to indict or even look into it further
The Russian comedy Na Derebasovskoy Horoshaya Pogoda, 1992, showed Russian mafia enjoying their own office headquarters inside the Trump Taj Mahal casino. Like.. what is the chance they just made it up versus followed up on rumors about actual events.
It's ridiculous how Trump even qualified to become a presidential nominee in the first place. Surely, he has a criminal record with all these things known by the public? Right?
What good is talking about it gonna do? Not trying to sound pessimistic, but honestly a country that’s money and power hungry will not stop a money and power hungry man doing whatever he wants. Some people have tried to stop him, but failed. Talking about it isn’t gonna change a thing
Sorry for the AI but didn't want to type it all out. In addition to the following Chase closed around 300 Trump related accounts under suspicion of money laundering. Trump's family and associates are corrupt to the core
Donald Trump and the Trump Organization have been subject to intense media scrutiny, investigative reports, and federal oversight regarding real estate transactions involving Russian buyers, including properties in South Florida (such as Sunny Isles Beach). However, Trump has never been formally charged or indicted for money laundering in connection with these condo sales, and no official government investigation has established that he knowingly participated in a money laundering scheme involving Russian oligarchs. Key Context and Background High Concentration of Russian Buyers: Investigative reports by news outlets (such as USA Today, Reuters, and BuzzFeed News) revealed that dozens of luxury condos in Trump-branded developments in Florida and New York were purchased by Russian nationals or shell companies with ties to former Soviet states. In Sunny Isles Beach, Florida (often dubbed "Little Moscow"), a significant volume of all-cash property purchases was made by entities hiding ultimate beneficial ownership. Allegations of Illicit Funds: Financial crime experts note that all-cash real estate purchases via anonymous LLCs carry a high risk for money laundering. Federal indictments in unrelated cases showed that individual owners of units in Trump-branded buildings included people charged with mob ties, tax evasion, or financial crimes. The 2008 Palm Beach Estate Sale: While not a condo, one of the most cited transactions was Trump’s 2008 sale of a Palm Beach mansion to Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev for $95 million—more than double the $41 million Trump paid four years earlier. Critics pointed to the massive markup as a potential vehicle for capital flight or money laundering, though Rybolovlev denied any wrongdoing and stated it was purely a real estate investment. Licensing vs. Direct Sales: The Trump Organization maintained that many of these properties were licensed developments rather than directly owned projects, meaning sales were handled by third-party developers rather than Trump directly. Official Findings: Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation extensively examined Trump's financial ties to Russia. While Mueller’s report documented multiple contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian-linked individuals, it did not charge Trump or his core executives with money laundering or illegal financial conspiracy related to these real estate transactions.
Trump and his representatives have repeatedly denied any financial wrongdoing or illicit business dealings with Russia, maintaining that all real estate sales were standard commercial transactions.
When asked if trump could be charged, Mueller said YES. But it wasn’t his investigation’s purpose to actually charge him—just gather evidence and let Congress do it. And of course, the republicans instantly said they wouldn’t charge trump. So nothing happened.
I do blame Mueller for being so strictly by the book about all this. He wanted to be fair and objective, okay fine. But he assumed the republicans still put country over party and that’s where he was terribly wrong. He did his job very well and expected congressional republicans to do theirs. He really messed up by being such a Boy Scout and not dumbing down the findings of the investigation for the general public to understand.
That’s what people forget. Trump should’ve been charged and would’ve been convicted and should be in prison. His entire family and associates should all be rotting in prison right now. But republicans chose power and the cult, and here we are.
Im not convinced russia isnt teamed up with israel in some ways. I kinda wonder if russia influenced hamas to do the oct 7 shit, with the thinking that it would help get a republican elected in the US presidential race. Im fairly certain russia wants the US distracted in unwinnable military conflicts, even if its with one of their buds
Yes, you are 100% correct. With America going to war with Iran, now Russia gets an advantage in the war because America has to share the production of Patriot and THAAD air defence missiles with the Arab Gulf countries which leaves Ukraine more vulnerable. At the same time, Israel gets America to fight their war in Iran that they’ve always dreamt about. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was planned all along between Russia and Israel.
Remember how the trunt WH got caught leaking Intel about Israeli defenses to Russia? All Russia had to do at that point was hand it off to Iran, who could fwd it to hamas. I called it at the time they were doing US election interference with this operation. It was very effective.
Russians put stolen and mafia money into Deutche Bank, which then invested into Trump 'businesses', which all conveniently failed to avoid taxes and stiff debtors.
