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

    No. The business is not a problem. Even if Trump just benefits from it that wouldn't be a problem. Only problem would be if Trump abuses his power and enacts policy or takes executive actions for the sole purpose of profiting from them. So if he plans to keeps the business, the people have the right to know whether he's doing that or not. Very simple....

    You seem to have lost yourself. This is what I'm responding to.

    The President's businesses are everybody's business. You seem to have gotten yourself tangled either in some sort of strawman, or trying to change the subject. The rest of your message has no relation to this point.

    Responded at the end of the message that you're quoting.

    It depends... But his business profits will for sure...

    You *really* didn't go to the dailykos did you? For instance, they ask how Trump's casino could be failing when everyone else was rolling in the dough. More false news. There were 12 major casinos that failed around the same time as Trumps!

    The DailyKos *is* the very definition of false news!

    And you *still* don't show any understanding of what money laundering is!

    This comment is a false comparison, not even close. First, Obama did not re-up Flynn's security clearance, the state department did based on his submissions.
    The point is Trump knew that Flynn was compromised or beholden and still kept him receiving and advising the POTUS with info meant for the highest levels of government.
    Yes, Obama had America's best interests in his sights, Trump, who knows.

    Obama never had America's best interests in mind. Obama's ideology led him to believe that America should be punished for all the bad things we did. Obama was a traitor. To wit:

    There is no shortage of critics of the recently concluded nuclear agreement that President Obama has reached with the evil Iranian theocracy. All the “known concessions” by the Obama administration should come as no surprise. Make no mistake — these concessions were not due to incompetence nor the inability to negotiate. They are part of the president’s planned agenda to fundamentally transform America by diminishing our stature and credibility. It is another example of his misguided view that America must be humbled for the many “problems” we have caused throughout the world.

    Mr. Obama’s game plan on how to negotiate with the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had its genesis in the summer of 2008. According to scholar and author Michael Ledeen, around the time when candidate Barack Obama received the Democratic Party’s nomination, he opened a secret communication channel with the Iranian theocracy. The go-between was Ambassador William G. Miller, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, who spoke fluent Farsi from his previous tours of duty in Tehran.


    The message was, “Don’t sign an agreement with the Bush administration. Wait until I am president — you will get a much better deal! You will like my policies. I am your friend.” Here is a country that has cost thousands of American lives. Furthermore, all Americans should never forget that it was Iran that provided the key material and training support to the September 11 hijackers. Without that support the attack could not have been carried out, and some 3,000 innocent Americans who were doing nothing more than going to work would be alive today. Yet our president told this regime that he was their friend.

    This borders on treason and most certainly violated the Logan Act, which forbids private citizens from interfering in government diplomacy.

    The endless Kabuki dance that went on in Geneva and Vienna was not only an embarrassment for all Americans, but more importantly, it “conceded America’s honor,” an honor that has stood on bedrock principles which hundreds of thousands of Americans have paid the ultimate price to protect. Our nation was humiliated. This treaty must be rejected.

    While being challenged throughout the world, the Obama administration continues with its senseless unilateral disarmament of our military forces, thereby jeopardizing our national security. As if disarmament were not enough, our military is being forced to train the military forces of our potential enemies. Specifically, Chinese infantry troops are being trained in the United States. Moreover, the Chinese navy was invited to participate in the 2014 Rim of the Pacific fleet exercise and has been invited again to participate in the 2016 fleet exercise to be held off the coast of Hawaii, alongside all of our major Pacific allies. We clearly are compromising our tactics, techniques and operations.
