Among them:

• A member of the firm that developed the Trump SoHo Hotel in New York is a twice-convicted felon who spent a year in prison for stabbing a man and later scouted for Trump investments in Russia.

• An investor in the SoHo project was accused by Belgian authorities in 2011 in a $55 million money-laundering scheme.

• Three owners of Trump condos in Florida and Manhattan were accused in federal indictments of belonging to a Russian-American organized crime group and working for a major international crime boss based in Russia.

• A former mayor from Kazakhstan was accused in a federal lawsuit filed in Los Angeles in 2014 of hiding millions of dollars looted from his city, some of which was spent on three Trump SoHo units.

• A Ukrainian owner of two Trump condos in Florida was indicted in a money-laundering scheme involving a former prime minister of Ukraine.

Even better, Manafort is on that money laundering tip. Shell LLC's buy NY real estate in cash, and then years later the property is transferred into Manafort's name. Then, he takes a mortgage out and gets the cash.
Apparently it's quite popular for a lot of people globally to buy NY properties and park cash there because of the relative stability, and sky high prices. Money laundering 101.

This proves nothing and is a hit job piece.

1st of all many people have property in condos and hotels.

2nd of all anyone who owns a chain of casinos/hotels/casinos is bound to have clients who are involved in shady business. Let alone are bound to have clients who own some properties in said Hotels or Condos or Casinos.


What do you want world war III with Russia, China and the eastern world?

A man who worked for a firm that worked on one of the thousand trump properties. Wow.

As summarized before before, they've dug themselves into a real hole here. The Russia scramble was a diversion from the DNC leaks. It clearly wasn't based on anything initially. It spun out of control and is now even more embarrassing than the leaks.

They need something, anything to justify the hysteria and impeachment threats. They more egg accumulates on their faces with each passing second. We have given up on the "hacked the election" nonsense and we are down to indirect associations with a Kazakh who owns two condos (!!!). A major geopolitical player for sure and Kazakhistan is close enough to Russia.

Got 'em. Maxine Waters has saved Korea.

He's right. Stop patting yourself on the back.

What pisses me off about this is if shit was flipped and lets say Obama had ties of this nature you all would be calling for his head and the same goes for Clinton. Why do you keep ignoring all of the failings of the trump administration and other things including him and his constant golf outings which is costing tax payers to pay for his security. Remember when Trump said he wouldn't be golfing and would be staying in the white house, seems Trump himself forgot about that. The man is a perpetual liar who says one thing then goes back on it. Says we will repeal Obamacare the moment he is in office then he goes and says recently he never said that. Pathological liar he is yet you Trump supporters who don't care that he is one

 

[Paynebringer]

I don't think that White House as ever been this Black & broken even when Obama ruled it. Who does the Trump team use to vet their people , Walmart?

 

[bobgeese]

Bill Clinton is a rapist.

Not sure that you can do big business with Russians without the Mafia somehow being involved.

this isn't going to rustle anyone. This is a weak sad attempt of someone who is just an all around clown. Shady people involved in wealthy businesses is supposed to be shocking? You clearly have absolutely no brains in regards to business but only a goofball like yourself would be surprised at something as obvious as that

Zoinks the Russians!!
