I suspect this is where Trump/Russia collusion will be found in the end

    Here's what your article is titled: "Bank that lent $300m to Trump linked to Russian money laundering scam"

    The article itself doesn't even mention Trump!

    "all these money laundering schemes"? What money laundering schemes? Again - TRUMP ISN'T INVOLVED, he isn't even mentioned!

    His tax returns would only be grist for your conspiracy mill. Why would he want to give you more stuff you can make up allegations about?

    Who is he going to encourage?

    The point is a pattern of who Trump does business with and this one is tied to Russian money laundering. Given the current events of the 2016 election, many see the relevance. In addition, given Trump's histories of bankruptcies and not paying his debts, no American bank would lend to him when he was in big trouble again at the end of 2008. That's why it requires investigation and it's also about national security.

    When you have something other than guilt by association, let us know.
    Otherwise, we'll enjoy our naps.

    Trump releasing his COMPLETE Tax Returns (including records of all loans received and all money currently owed to anyone associated with Russia) is the bare minimum expected of a President.

    The likelihood of him doing this voluntarily is slim to none. :D

    When Mueller subpoena's Trump's tax returns, then Trump goes to the Supreme Court (to prevent the release) and LOSES--we will really see what Trump is made of.

    The Mercer's were Trump's biggest backers and Breitbart is IN the White House

    Patience is a virtue.

    Sooner or later. Trump will pay the piper.

    There are close ties between Manafort, Bannon and some pretty heavy duty Russian crooks. It seems strange that these two guys were high ranking members of Trumps campaign, and Brannon is still involved in Trump's administration. It would also not surprise me if Podesta or other Clinton cohorts were also involved with crooks and foreigners. I say, expose all of them. The info from the Greg Palast clip regarding cross checking voter rolls in order that get as many people scrubbed from the rolls who would be likely to vote for Democrats is really troubling and is a classic GOP scheme which successfully handed Bush the election in 2000. It will be interesting to find out where the money comes from to run those sleazy operations and put a stop to them once and for all.

    This is the same Greg Palast who is discredited as being a con artist?

    Greg Palast is an excellent investigative journalist who has written several best sellers and has worked for BBC and The Guardian for years. Who has accused him of conning them? Who do you think pays for these sleazy multi million dollar voter roll scrubbing outfits like Choice Point, which was used by Karl Rove in 1999-2000 to steal Florida? It seems to me that this sort of scummy politics is about as in American as it gets.

    You don't have the supercharged MensaMind it takes to get the real story and probably don't drive a Range Rover either....

    Check the DailyKos. Palast has been punk'd by one of your own.

    That is Alice, a beautiful, perfect German Shepherd puppy of champion breeding stock from both sides. She was about 18 weeks when I took that picture. Greatest dog I have ever had the pleasure to know. She is now about 11 months old and will be ready to breed at 18 months. Her puppies will go for about $8,000 if you are interested...

    Trump does business with investors and bankers. SO FRIGGEN WHAT?

    Trump is not tied to money laundering.

    Obama knows Corrine Brown. Does that mean Obama is guilty of corruption?

    Bankruptcy? AGAIN, SO FRIGGEN WHAT?

    Entrepreneurs like Trump go bankrupt. 25% of startup business go bankrupt within five years. Bankruptcy is *NOT* illegal!

    Why are so many of the left so damnably ignorant concerning high finance today? Did you even bother to go look at the site I gave earlier?

    go here: http://www.newsweek.com/trump-and-money-laundering-key-questions-ask-586770

    Trump has been a "Politically Exposed Person" for a long time. That means that any financial dealings that he has gets extra scrutiny from the Feds. No investigation is needed! IT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE!

    What's about national security? That Trump has international business dealings? That's not illegal either!

    So what? Lot's of people do. Are they *all* criminals? And if they are how do you know that?

    Unfounded allegations are just that, unfounded allegations. And that appears to be all you got!

    Why would that make any difference as to whether they have committed crimes or not?

    Why is it expected? Because past presidents with a hundredth or less of Trumps financial empire released theirs?

    So what kind of a reason is that for Trump to release his so his competitors can gain an advantage over him? Being President doesn't mean you have to pauper yourself!
