It now appears from several reported sources that the
Department of Treasury is ramping up its own investigation
as to possible collusion charges vis a vis money
irregularities with some Russian fat cats and even possible
money laundering charges via Trump properties and/or loans
to Trump or his associates and family members.
If proven to be true, Trump could face these charges
apart from any possible and future impeachment charges; and
these possible money laundering charges or questionable
banking practices involving yet to be named Russian
plutocrats could be the final and last act for a man that
the former FBI head called "crazy."
The gist of these charges may stem from acts done
before he became president and while or even before he ran
into financial difficulties with some prior business
bankruptcies that may have left him obtaining needed funds
from "dark" sources
(not black people but questionable Russian billionaires who
would only be too happy to loan their monies in order to
have Trump in hock to them).
Much more will be developed on this tantalizing angle as
more news media outlets re-direct some of their resources to
fleshing out this report from the treasury department.
This is the department of the US Treasury that
specializes in crimes of money and money laundering and
shifty banking practices.
They purportedly "stumbled" across these possible
tie-ins to Trump when they were investigating other possible
financial crimes and which crimes cross international
borders.
Knowing how Trump thinks that he is impervious to
outside attacks since he is president, it will be a most
interesting development to see how the feckless Republican
GOP Congress will react or not react to any proven
allegations that their "Chosen One" is in "cahoots" with the
Russkies.
If it is proven to be true, then you can understand why
Trump decried every report regarding Russia and any
collusion as being, "fake news!"
Trump, I think, is coming to realize that the gig is up
and with the firing of FBI Director James Comey not having
the outcome that he vainly hoped for, this investigation of
the Russkie money trail well may prove to be his undoing.
Since Trump worships the almighty dollar, he in turn
had to give up something to this god for it to give him its
perks and goodies and that something was his conscience and
any shred of acceptable moral behavior.
Trump is finding out something that people who worship
these man-made gods have found out and that is they are
fickle and will turn on you on a dime or a whim and will
leave you bare naked before a laughing public.
My theory about Trump is this: he ran for the office of
the presidency because he was bored and wanted the thrill of
the headlines and the applause of the people. He did not
really count the cost if he were to win.
That is why he said that if Hillary won, the election
was rigged. That was his out for him losing since I think
he was shocked as anyone else when she lost since all of the
pollsters had her waltzing into the White House with Bill
Clinton in tow with visions in his head of seeking out
docile and shapely interns to bamboozle with his Southern
charms.
So, for Trump to have to bear down and actually govern,
it was not his Apprenticeship style since now he had to
contend with co-equal branches of government who could
stifle him in his agenda of treating America as a trinket or
a bauble to do with as he pleased.
When he was rebuffed for his repeated agenda and
legislative failures, the facade and the sheen of being
president quickly wore off but he still lived and acted as
if he was in the boardroom of the Apprentice program, firing
whomever he wished at his sole whim.
So, now the financial sharks from the Treasury
Department, career employees who are pledged to the nation
and not to a personality like Trump, smell blood in the
waters and they are readying their harpoons (a/k/a:
subpoenas) to catch their prey: Anyone with financial ties
to Trump whom are seen as dubious and suspect and in
violation of the laws regarding negative money collusion and
money laundering.
I always say, "When in doubt, follow the money trail!"
My prediction? Within six months or less, the evidence will
be sufficient to bring federal charges against either Trump
or his business empire or family members for crimes against
the US government regarding illicit use of money, either
foreign or domestic.
So, the next time Trump screams, "fake news!" or
everything about this Russian collusion is a, "hoax!", just
remember, "Follow the money trail, it will never fail you!"
