So the Trump crime family has gotten near 1 billion so far.

[drray23]

Qatar gave a 182 miillion loan to kushner, the Chinese nearly 500 millions to a project from the Trump organization and Trump got 0.5 % (282 millions) bribe for having lifted sanctions on Russia allowing the rosneff deal to go forward.

Who knows what else they got that we have not heard about yet?

Trump may yet make his first actual billion by abusing his position as president...

1. I am glad that

a) the criminal charges speculated to be in play (RICO, enterprise corruption, etc) include asset seizure as penalties

b) lawyers are goddamned expensive at the scale these people will need them so what doesn't get seized is going to be heavily drained by them

2. Sometimes the news flows so fast we miss many stories that, only now, make more sense

Thus, a story by Slate - back in March of this year, helps connect the dots - specifically with regards to the monies to Kushner - and Qatar..as M Avenatti suggested, puts a new meaning on UGLY..

A series of revelations about the White House princeling have added further credence to the key claim of the Steele dossier.

By Jed Handelsman Shugerman - Rachel just had him explain this UGLY story - fascinating - so many moving parts...

13. Thank you.

5. This is an outrage!

I can't believe they are getting away with this shit!

[YOHABLO]

7. You can thank the Republican Congress for that.

[RainCaster]

8. And a whole bunch of Trumpanzees

All those ass clowns who voted for that degenerate started this mess.

[DemocracyMouse]

10. It IS an outrage. Shout it from the rooftops!

In fact, let's use DU to rally a roof and window shout against total Republican corruption. Proposals for a date/time?

I'm not numb.

I'm not jaded.

I'm gonna build real democracy in the USA!

Votin' in November, Ma'am, yes I am!

9. I'm hoping that he's still having a problem keeping up with the vig.

They can be very hard taskmasters, I bet. Having the hollow facade of an alleged empire collapse either under its own weight, or by govt. action is #3 on my list. Or tied for #2.

Out of the Oval Office forever.

Prison or broke, in either order. Preferably both.

[BannonsLiver]

11. Sure they'll get their cut

But I wonder if the bulk of the money is going to his Russian oligangster masters. The ones he’s been laundering money for all these years.

12. Swamp Not Being Drained

So much for draining the swamp. The swamp is being made worse.
