Cover up bigger than crime

[Proud liberal 80]

I am going to be honest, I dint think Trump himself had anything to do with Russia, it was people in his campaign.But he was so angry with the press and Comey they it becomes that old adage I referenced in the title.

1. I vehemently disagree! He looks guilty as hell!

[Squinch]

2. I think he took a lot of money from Russians in return for money laundering and let them

do whatever they wanted in his campaign. He appointed all those Russian friendly people who he didn't even know just because he was told to, like Tillerson, Manafort, Flynn, etc. He had to have known that they would be working for Russia and not the US. I think he was fully aware that Russia was throwing the election his way and he did nothing to stop them. That is a coup.

This time the crime is a LOT bigger than the cover up.

He's dirty.

3. The crimes are worse in this case

5. One of the rare cases when the crime is worse.

Almost all the time in politics the cover up in worse.

4. I think he's in debt, up to his squinty and dilated eyeballs, to the Russians

And maybe deeper than that!

6. You guys are right after second thought

But I still think the thing that will bring him down was the cover up though

7. Eric admitted that all his golf courses since the crash were built with Russian momey

He sold a $40 million house in Miami at the bottom of the market to a Russian for $100 million. His Atlantic City casinos laundered Russian money for years. He's definitely involved financially with the Russian mob.

8. no way. there's little doubt he was up to his eyeballs with russians.

the question is whether or not there's a provable crime. it may be easier to prove obstruction of justice than money laundering and/or violation of election laws.

but i strongly suspect that, at a minimum, benedict donald knew that russian money was supporting his campaign.

i also strongly suspect he was dealing with people and/or business subject to treasury department sanctions.

9. Wanna bet? nt

10. I am sure he has been involved with the Russian job for years and money laundering for them.

He might not have *directly* colluded with Putin to influence the election, though I do think he was at least telling his minions to cooperate.

But I think he probably would micromanage this sort of deal.
