This is a fascinating read & ties in w/ the Deutsche Bank Trump story. While it may not appear to be related to Trump it is. By uncovering a $230B mostly Russian Money Laundering scheme it shows the banks have been ignoring Russian Money Laundering for yrs cbsnews.com/news/how-the-d…
Deutsche Bank was accepting💰coming from Danske Bank which was coming from Russia through FAKE companies

A $230 BILLION Dollar Money Laundering scheme tying together Russian money AND Deutsche Bank then Trump going to Herculian Efforts to conceal his own dealings w/ Deutsche🤔
There are many scenarios where Trump can be implicated in this & if we’re blocked from investigating it we can’t uncover it. But let’s take a simple formula...
$230B illegal Russian💰goes to Danske Bank then goes to Deutsche Bank which then buys Real Estate-is some of it Trumps?
$230 BILLION in probably illegal Russian Money originating from ‘god knows where’ gets laundered through Danske Bank which gets funneled to Deutsche & then gets to Trump through Real Estate transactions or big loans he defaults on?
Don’t we need to know how Trump was involved?
This is why we MUST Follow the Money
This has been going on for yrs
Was it going “undetected”?
NO
Even before the NYT article its been known
The US ignored at least $230 BILLION in Money Laundering & theres NO accountability for those profiting from the scheme
ZERO repercussions
And you can bet that with at least $230B funneled through Danske Bank into the US, many more of Americas 1% also benefited from the Russian gravy train that’s been rolling through here.
It’s the likeliest reason they protect Trump...to protect their own secret illicit profits.
People question why Barrs so loyal to Trump. It seems more likely that Barr works for the Super rich who have ALSO profited from Russia’s Money Laundering schemes. If law enforcement started cracking down on the people who profited from the scheme than they would be revealed.
We can’t allow this to continue to be covered up
We must demand they Follow the Money

In terms of the scale of the crime...

Watergate seems like a mere pick pocketer
Trump Russia is Oceans Eleven in comparison...

but without the comic chops & eye candy of George & Brad & Co.

"INTENT. Substantial evidence indicates that the President's attempts to remove the Special Counsel were linked to the Special Counsel's oversight of investigations that involved the Presidents conduct" - Pg 89 Volume 2 Mueller Report

Sure sounds like evidence of a crime to me🤔
"The evidence establishes the President's substantial involvement in the communications strategy related to information about his campaign's connections to Russia & his desire to minimize public disclosures about those connections."-Pg 106 Volume 2 Mueller Report

He had them lie
"Evidence does establish that the President connected the Flynn investigation to the FBIs broader Russia investigation & that he believed, as he told Christie, that terminating Flynn would end "the whole Russia thing""Pg 47 Volume 2 Mueller Report

Trying to end it is OBSTRUCTION

Dems must announce the START of Impeachment already😡
But it doesn’t mean just Vote & send it to Senate
They must lay it all out in THOROUGH HEARINGS
& demonstrate ALL HIGH CRIMES
Making Trumps Criminality indisputable
So its impossible for the majority of public & Senate to deny
REMEMBER
They didn’t have the votes to convict Nixon before Impeachment began
They didn’t even have the Nixon TAPES before Impeachment proceedings began
Nor did they have public opinion
It all comes as part of Impeachment proceedings
We make the case to REMOVE
But we must START
Use Impeachment proceedings to get Court Orders for people to testify
& for Documents to be released
You might even get the Court to demand Mueller testify PUBLICLY
Use Trumps secret formula-make it a TV show for the public
But we have one shot to do it right
EXPOSE THE COVER UP

With the recent NY Times article about Deutsche Bank NOT flagging suspicious Trump & Kushner transactions remember
👉Trump waived Deutsche Banks punishment in 2017
👉Deutsche has been fined over $14.5B for Money Laundering, mostly for Russia, since 2011
🤔 ibtimes.com/political-capi…
And don’t forget
👉Deutsche loaned Trump over $2B over 2 decades. They even loaned to Trump AFTER suing him for defaulting on a $640M loan & Trump counter suing for $3B🤔
&
👉One of Trumps personal bankers was Justice Kennedy’s son & Kennedy’s early retirement brought Kavanaugh😳
And don’t forget
👉In 2017 there were multiple reports Mueller subpoenaed Deutsche for Trumps records
👉It was also reported Trump blew up at John Dowd after hearing Mueller subpoenaed Deutsche Bank. Jay Sekulow denied the subpoenas
👉Muellers report does NOT follow the money🤔

💣MuellerEve💣

Uproar!!!

📌Mueller report will be released in the afternoon, lightly redacted, revealing detailed look at O of J probe.

📌Barr & Rosenstein will give a press conf & deliver the partisan Barr Report 2.0 at 9:30am edt

📌Mueller not invited.
💣MuellerEve2💣

DOJ will present MR w/out certain redactions available to certain members of Congress/staff "in an appropriate setting."

Barr briefed & had numerous convos w/ WH re MR so they had time to strategize & prep a rebuttal while withholding it from American public.
💣MuellerEve3💣

The delay was necessary so Trump’s lawyers could strategize & prepare the rebuttal & control the narrative ahead of public release.

Nadler is deeply troubled to hear the WH was briefed abt the MR b/4 congress or the American people.

Deutsche Bank ♥️ Trump

📌A Profitable Decades-long Love Affair

📌Why on earth would Deutsche Bank (DB) continue to lend money to a notorious loan defaulter like Trump?

📌This is a key part re TrumpRussia
‼️Theory:‼️

Is it logical to conclude that Russia funnels (launders) money into Deutsche Bank, which then ‘washes’ money via back door deals & then loans the money to Trump.

Ergo is DB the middleman between RU & Trump earning sizable fees on every transaction? Win, win, no?
Russia:

Investigators are seeking evidence in a massive money laundering scheme involving Deutsche Bank about the practice of hiding money offshore to elude tax collectors and government regulators.

On Monday, in a memo published to the FCC website, chair Ajit Pai admitted “half-million comments” on net neutrality were “submitted from Russian e-mail addresses.” Pai had earlier denied Russian involvement. @theweeklylist.org
The memo also indicated thatover half of the almost 22 million comments came from phony, temporary, or duplicate email addresses, and reportedly only 17.4% of the comments were unique.
Pai also rejected two Freedom of Information Act requests filed byNYT and BuzzFeed, seeking “IP addresses” and “server logs,” respectively, associated with public comments submitted on net neutrality. @theweeklylist.org
