MSNBC contributor Donny Deutsch, a longtime friend of Michael Cohen, said today that he expects federal prosecutors to take down the entire Trump Organization. And in doing so, he said, they will also be in a position to take away all the presidents money and other assets.
The Morning Joe regular said the recent subpoena of Donald Trumps inauguration committee places the family business in legal jeopardy, and Vanity Fair reporter Emily Jane Fox agreed with him.
Fox, who is based in New York and has been investigating Donald Trumps businesses for years, said:
It raises alarm bells. Heres why I think this is so damaging, why all the investigations in the Southern District of New York [SDNY] could be so damaging to the president for years to come. This investigation, in particular, it involves the Trump family, it involves the Trump Organization profiting off of his new position and it involves the early stages of his administration.

Im going to throw out the term RICO, Deutsch said. That law was introduced to make it possible to convict mob bosses. It allowed law enforcement to say Okay, if somebody in your organization killed somebody we can pin it on you.
Deutsch also explained that all the investigations into Trump and his familys business and political activities could be tied together under one RICO investigation to make it easier to indict and convict the president and his children. - PoliticusUSA

would be a great Veterans Rehab and Therapy center. Swimming Pool, fresh air, golf, tennis, lots of rooms. Rename it:
The Robert Mueller Veterans Healing Center.

Take all his money and every asset he and his worthless adult children and wife owns. Then use it for reuniting all the children back to the families he separated.
Then have those worthless adult children work for a living.

holding the bag for those bad loans, or are creditors given consideration when assets are seized from a guilty party?
