@Blickers,
Blickers wrote:Goes deeper than that. Manafort handled several deals in Ukraine working for a Russian front that went through a Cyprus bank noted for money laundering Russian dirty deals. One of the managers of that Cypriot money laundering bank was Wilbur Ross, who Trump just appointed to be Commerce Secretary. Trump's people are up to their neck in Russian connections.
There is nothing wrong with having connections to Russia.
Blickers wrote:The connection is obvious. The way this corrupt official works for the Iranian government is to undertake large building projects with too-high prices, which money comes from Iran and which substantial amounts of the money earmarked for the project actually goes to terrorist groups, thereby bypassing the anti-terrorist funding safeguards the US has set up. If Trump's building is part of this-and the hotel is located miles from the shore in a railroad area when all the other luxury hotels were on the water-then he is in deep legal trouble. Trump is allowing himself to be used as front for funding terrorists by Iran. Serious business.
Well my advice, offered in good faith, is don't hold your breath.
If you end up wasting time and energy worrying about this issue, once you realize that it is wasted time and energy, don't say I didn't warn you.

Trump is selling the whole damn country and Europe besides out to Russia, and allowing himself to be used as a front for Iran to fund terrorists. We'll see who the American people judge, and how much.
I guess we'll have to wait for a Republican president to commit an impeachable offense before you will be able to understand how the Republicans will react to such an event. The Republicans do not intend to let the Democrats create the liberal dream system where liberals are above the law.
As for Trump, if he and Putin decide that they'd both rather see the EU broken up into smaller powers that can be played against each other, they will be within their rights to divide up the EU that way.
