My latest post:

9 days after Trump Campaign Chairman (Manafort) indicted for money laundering...

Trump Campaign National Finance Chairman (Mnuchin) announces a new person in charge of... money laundering.
cepr.net/blogs/cepr-blo…
Here's a letter to the Counsel for the Inspector General of the Treasury Department urging an investigation into Mnuchin -- cepr.net/images/documen…

Latter is co-signed by: @AmFamValues @CREDOMobile @demandprogress @MarchForTruth17 @peoplefor @Public_Citizen
Why did Mnuchin suddenly change leadership at FinCEN?

Is it related to Cyprus and Mueller? theguardian.com/us-news/2017/d…
It could also be related to the exposure a few days earlier of Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross' super-close ties to Putin's family via the Paradise Papers: abc.net.au/news/2017-11-0…
With Bannon openly expressing panic about Trump universe money laundering, the decision by Mnuchin to unilaterally install a new head of the Treasury unit fighting money-laundering (FinCEN) looks ever more suspicious: theguardian.com/us-news/2018/j…

Now we see Sessions unilaterally putting allies from the corporate bar as acting heads of the US Attorney Offices of the SDNY and EDNY. cnn.com/2018/01/03/pol…

So many Trump, Kushner, Flynn, Sater, Zarrab/Erdogan/Atilla, Manafort investigations & secrets there!
Between:

a) Trump/Mnuchin/IRS
b) Trump/Mnuchin/FinCEN
c) Trump/Sessions/SDNY & EDNY

We are much closer to the "Trumpocracy" than it might otherwise apppear. vox.com/policy-and-pol…
Several @FSCDems , led by @RepMaxineWaters , send a scathing letter to @stevenmnuchin1 demanding answers for many of the questions I raise in this thread: democrats-financialservices.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
So much money laundering! buzzfeed.com/thomasfrank/se… from @ByTomFrank
So so so much Trump family money laundering!

It's the family business! nbcnews.com/news/investiga…
And look -- big @BuzzFeedNews report on money laundering and the uncertainty of what Treasury wishes to share with the Senate Intelligence Committee: buzzfeed.com/jasonleopold/n…
The possibility that Russians laundered money to help the NRA achieve record spending levels is... very plausible!

Especially given Torshin's track record! mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-wo…
Some more context on NRA spending: opensecrets.org/news/2016/11/t…

And again $$ reported << actual spending.
Some more fun money laundering news! ibtimes.com/deutsche-bank-…
The public servants at FinCEN have long been aware of Trump's affinity for money laundering: fincen.gov/news/news-rele…

Context for Trump Campaign National Finance Chair Steve Mnuchin unilaterally swapping in new FinCEN head.
Here's some more on Deutsche Bank, Kushner, & "BaFin," Germany’s bank regulatory agency.

It sounds really bad for Kushner! motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Kushner is so far in his over head... a crazy risk taker who is rightfully insecure about his Dad having purchased his academic credentials.

The Trump family is like the Godfather series if Fredo was one of identical septuplets.
The Trump team continues to undermine the under the radar parts of the government that look into money laundering and sanctions running.

What is the least implausible innocent explanation??? foreignpolicy.com/2018/01/19/uni…
The Trump team is clearly doing some very weird stuff to sideline professionals with respect to Russian money -- this story is wackadoodle! buzzfeed.com/johnhudson/tru…
.@anders_aslund of the Atlantic Council provides some additional context on how Trump/Mnuchin/Tillerson have assisted Putin here: atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainea…
Mnuchin's Treasury is now saying, essentially, "Russia is too big to sanction!" bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Wyden is beginning to ask some very good questions that will require FinCEN cooperation to be answered: cnn.com/2018/02/10/pol…
More Manafort money laundering???? buzzfeed.com/jasonleopold/m…
Treasury only heard about suspicious Michael Cohen payment to Stormy Daniels after a serious delay: wsj.com/articles/trump…

Mnuchin's FinCEN maneuvers require great scrutiny! cepr.net/blogs/cepr-blo…
Was something about this delayed bank report to FinCEN a trigger for Mnuchin's already shady unilateral decision to install a new head of FinCEN in November 2017? wsj.com/articles/trump…
