Trump Is Under Investigation For Selling Access to Foreign Governments


House Intelligence Committee member Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) said that Trump’s inaugural committee is under investigation for selling access to foreign governments.

Rep. Speier said on MSNBC, “We’re looking at foreign influence. To what extent have foreign individuals contributed to the inaugural that may have then been given to persons within the Trump Organization or Trump family and assess whether or not that was an effort to somehow get the president to lift sanctions or give access to these individuals. Once again, it shows that the relationship between Donald Trump, the businessman, and Russia is mush deeper than any of us probably foresaw.”

The Trump Inaugural Committee Is Under Investigation

Trump’s inauguration was the most expensive in history, but no one can figure out where the money went. Evidence shows that Donald and Ivanka illegally received money by jacking up rates at Trump’s DC hotel and making space ten to one hundred times more expensive for the inaugural committee. Ivanka Trump may have violated tax laws in connection with $40 million missing in inauguration funds. There is also a federal criminal investigation into corruption related to the inauguration.

Democrats are investigating if Trump used the inauguration to sell influence to foreign governments

Democrats are going beyond basic crime and corruption. They are investigating if Trump, his family, or his associates sold access to the president or made policy promises in exchange for donations to the inaugural committee which found their way into the pockets of the Trumps.

There are a lot of big Trump-related congressional investigations to monitor. The national security scandal involving security clearances and the Mueller report cover-up are two of the most recent, but the inaugural committee corruption is bubbling under the surface, and it could be the crime that exposes all the elements of Trump corruption in full.

Democrats are hitting Trump and all fronts and showing no letup in their efforts to investigate a corrupt president and administration.

25. Trumps are busy shoveling money into off shore accounts. They see what's coming

Now that dems have control of the House. This also shows how corrupt the entire repub party is for allowing this criminal enterprise to operate without oversight of any kind.

4. Makes sense, didn't Cohen try to sell access to rump and cronies? NT

[Pepsidog]

5. For over 2 years we watched in agony as he has flaunted the law and norms. Now he gets no quarter.

No rock should be left unturned. And the asshole said it himself, get 10 years worth of tax returns. Reveal all the corruption of his administration and make an example of them.

14. Correction, it should read as

"For over 2 years we watched in agony as Republican members of the House and Senate allowed his flaunting of the law and norms."
After all without their help none of it would have been possible.

[Pepsidog]

30. Good addition

[smirkymonkey]

17. +1000

My hope is that republicans get the message loud and clear. "You are not above the law!"

And then I want to see them all behind bars.

[wryter2000]

23. Flouted the law

Flaunting something means to show it off. "If you've got 'em, flaunt 'em."

[blugbox]

33. Or perhaps

Flaunting his disregard for the law

[wryter2000]

34. That works

[sheshe2]

8. The whole family is selling access.

They are traitors.

[BigmanPigman]

11. And money whores.

Anything to make a buck...they are beneath contempt.

[sheshe2]

12. Oh, that too!

Completely agree

9. There's Also Buying "Memberships" at Mar-a-Lago

Don the con doesn’t miss a trick.

21. Did I read they doubled membership fees

from $100K to $200K after his election?

15. One can bet they did! It was the piggy call "suey, suey". Come one and all grifters!

Get chure President access right here. Put that cash on the barrel head and let's talk.

Here, piggy, piggy, piggy!

[thegoose]

18. Fuck yeah!

We all knew ages before Ancient Orange farted his way into the Oval Office that it was all he had in mind, along with his wretched grifting spawn.

[elias7]

19. Media and R's trying to make this sound political

This guy commits either a crime or an unethical or immoral act a day. It’s unrelenting. The people who still support him amaze me. Like they get off on thinking liberals are miserable and feel nothing of the pain and cruelty inflicted on those they don’t even see as human - minorities, refugees, the indigent. So Christian. So immoral. And often, so illegal. So not political.

24. Treason weasels.

26. Hope We Are Nearing Critical Mass

Dumb, dirty, corrupt, a serial liar, a cheat, a traitor, and likely in mental decline. What will it take for republicans to abandon this abomination?

This nightmare needs to end ASAP. Pence is a stuffy rigid religious fanatic but as insufferable as he would be the clown show would be over. Then hopefully in January 2121 we get a democrat in there.

[notdarkyet]

35. We need to let repubs know their party will disentegrate from. Their own corruption.

[Botany]

28. What laws didn't the Trumps break?

n/t

31. Common Everyday Thieves

Just in $100 million denominations.

Think of that when you hear of some poor kid getting 5 years in prison for stealing $100.

[disndat]

32. It sounds like there is no end

to the money that the whole family is making like Jared Kushner deal with Brookfield Properties backed by the Qatar govt.
that saved his $billion debt from 666 5th Ave. bldg. Probably just the tip of the iceberg with the whole Trump family.
Trump Jr. moved all his holdings to wife before divorcing her.
