Meanwhile; back at the ranch. Irrelevance abounds.

The Mueller report is now being suppressed by the Prez himself on the grounds of executive privilege. Big Deal! That was only ever going to hurt his ego and one thing it does do is frustrate a timely airing of impeachment grounds in the report, paying into Democrat hands.
What it DOESN'T do is slow down any of the real threat investigations against criminal activities that have a name, like Money laundering , tax evasion and bribery. I wish Leslie Neilsen were still alive. He would have been a shoo in to play Trump in the movie.

I think people need to understand that his ego comes first above everything including the country he is supposed to lead. The investigation was only a threat to stumbling upon his real criminal history. He doesn't want anyone taking a closer look.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow True. His ego rules.. The problem for him is that Mueller identified and handed off everything he found to others along the way. Thats why 20 other people have had convictions. But way worse for Trump is all the Deutsche Bank records now entered into the other investigations. Deutsches internal systems set off a money laundering alarm the management suppressed and they were the go betweens from the Russian banks to Trump.

@whowasthatmaskedman Well this is no Surprise since the Trump Taj Mahal was nailed for money laundering. The Russian connection is smoke and mirrors though and Russiagate is a joke.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow As far as deliberate "collusion" is concerned you are probably correct. What collusion there is evidence of, was ham-fisted and screwed up in the extreme.It failed by accident. But the financial crimes can be proven with a money trail which Deutsche Bank has provided.

@whowasthatmaskedman No doubt he probably has criminal friends all over since we know he is in bed with the Jersey mob. So having Vori as friends would be typical but I don't think it goes beyond more thugs in suits from long before he had presidential aspirations.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Those Russian banks have a solid track record with Money laundering mob money,. And Trumps Taxes from his overseas deals are "suspect" to say the least. He never expected this kind of scrutiny and his reputation is at being careless. I'd say its a perfect storm heading at him.

@whowasthatmaskedman Corruption in banking is pretty universal but Russia is one of the only first world nations actually doing something about it beyond scrubbing the names of the guilty from the public record or handing over the treasury. Besides in Russia and Eastern Europe the real dirty money is in Cyprus.
