Exactly. Mueller's wording is bizarre in light of how charges/prosecutions are handled. Prior to my previous post above I spent roughly twenty minutes or so checking definitions of "exonerated" and could find no definition in that short search which did not pertain to someone already having been convicted having that conviction reversed. Is there a legal definition which is relevant prior to even charges being filed? Seems there must be.Originally Posted by ssb

Really? He sold ONE of his houses, not his home, and the proceeds may have been used to help pay his attorneys fees. He still maintains a residence in Rhode Island. His .MIL pension is intact. His net worth is still well above average as his consulting gig salary was, at one time, up to $800K per year. Yes, he took a financial hit but he is getting off pretty easy.
And his legal punishment will be slight as the USG is recommending a light sentence due to his aid to the investigation. Not bad for someone that President Obama specifically warned was compromised and should not be the National Security Adviser.
Flynn played his hand poorly. He's out of business.
Lots of people are going to regret being associated with Trump. The money laundering is just now beginning to become apparent.

I am so tired of the MSM using the tactic of "IF" to continue their propaganda.IF TRUMP IS LAUNDERING RUSSIAN MONEY, HERE’S HOW IT WORKS
With liberty and justice for all...must be 18, void where prohibited, some restrictions may apply, not available in all states.
When the spotlight hits a roach it's easy to see. I'll cherry pick Manafort as an example. Charges for criminal activity from 2006 through 2016, yet the headlines scream TRUMP, TRUMP, INDICTMENT, INDICTMENT! There's a lot of financial crime everywhere. Lots of influence pedaling, contract fraud, you name it. Many of the watchdogs set in place to fight fraud were asleep at the wheel or intentionally neutered. Look at Madoff and the "oversight" of the SEC. Look at who was Inspector General of the State Department during Hillary's reign (hint, there wasn't one appointed.)
I wish I could find the meme that say "It might be more interesting to look at Congress members who've become multi-millionaires than the man who was a billionaire and became President."
i don't give two shites what side of the aisle they're on, if they commit fraud, burn'm down.

That article is a prime example of bullshit laundering whereby a series of hypotheticals and unrelated examples are tied together to fill in the gaps of public knowledge. You can always tell a good bullshit laundering when the author ends more sentences with question marks and exclamation points than periods.
So far, we’ve spent $30 million investing Trump’s ties to Russia with a special prosecutor and God knows how much more being spent by the SDNY and NY State’s Attorney. That investment has resulted in indictments of Trump’s former campaign manager for crimes that he committed 5 years before Trump ever declared, and Trump’s dipshit personal attorney on tax evasion and campaign finance violation. Oh, don’t forget the 11 days that Papadipshitopolos spent in jail for lying to investigators about a big nothingburger - there is a real good use of tax payer dollars.
From all that, there is not a peep about money laundering or tax evasion among the Trump organizations. However, don’t let that stop anyone from posting about retarded conspiracy theories without a single shred of actual evidence. I know, I know - Trump is a criminal mastermind who managed to set up a money laundering scheme (with the help of his genius lawyer who is currently serving time) so complex that not even the FBI can crack it. Next, we will be hearing about the Trump organization running a child prostitution ring from a pizza shop...

Quoted in part because I can only click like once.
As the quoted post demonstrates perfectly, anyone with any real business experience knows that successful people have not succeeded at everything. In fact, many of the most successful have had more failures than successes. They learned from their failures, and went on to succeed. Venture capital firms have told me that they regard a previous business failure as a positive rather than a negative when deciding whether to fund a new venture.
This is one reason why Trump’s tax returns are irrelevant.
I am far more interested in investigating those who abused their positions to pursue the witch hunt of Russian collusion, destroying the lives of far more innocent people with their questionable tactics than they managed to convict.

I guess we'll find out about any money laundering when congress gets some information from the banks and the IRS.
Shouldn't be a problem because he has nothing to hide, right? If congress wanted my banking and tax records I would gladly give them up.

Wired is second only to HuffingtonPost when I’m looking for unbiased reporting on conservatives. It’s a tough call over Salon, but Wired is just a bit less biased.
