A well sourced @emptywheel examination and question: Why does an accountant making over a million a year need to cheat on his taxes? Why did his huckster boss and immediate family support this criminal ecosystem rather than pay and deduct larger salaries? emptywheel.net/2021/07/02/why…
The Brokeass Billionaire: "In 2014, (Trump) paid a combined $79.7 million for large golf courses in Scotland and Ireland. Since then, those clubs have lost money while Trump renovated them, requiring him to pump in $164 million in cash to keep them running"golfdigest.com/story/donald-t…
I met a yacht broker who told me a great story. A wife "renovated" a yacht using hubby's money for $12M and divorced him when it was done. The contractor secretly kicked back most of that money to the wife and just looked busy. Does Trump hire people who kick back money? 
It appears from news reports that Trump used this criminal kickback model not just for his family business but for America's foreign policy. So where is the money? #AllInTheFamily seattletimes.com/nation-world/n…
Not only did Donald hand the sale of our foreign policy to his son in law but according to documents and intelligence records Jared Kushner appears to have moved at least $1.2 billion in Saudi money to insiders to invent the Abraham Accords. This will be the next major scandal
where's the money? Track all the bizarre obsessions and the crooked people who pitched Trump crazy ideas. Many were Trump's fund raisers many were paid by foreign entities. An extremely unusual business arrangement for the President of the US not so much for a banana republic.
If Trump is analyzed like a Gulf potentate or African dictator it becomes clear. He directed his inner circle to cut deals on ridiculous projects that would provide him kickbacks. Proposals for Afghanistan, Ukraine, Qatar, Libya, China all seem like ideal ways to move dark money.
As we enter the numerous upcoming indictments and trials of his minions we will constantly be reminded that Trump does nothing for free, is not good at what he does and has no problem burning his toadies to stay out of jail. But the constant question will be: Where is the money?
