Forty years of crimes and cover-ups.

[kentuck]

Is it any wonder that the investigations are so numerous and so complex?

How was the Trump Organization able to stay out of reach of the FBI and Justice Department for so many years?

As we speak, every facet of the Trump Organization is now being investigated, including the Trump Charity and the Trump Inauguration.

This could take years to complete. Maybe they should create a permanent Commission just to investigate the Trump Family crimes?

1. I hope statute of limitations doesn't apply

[kentuck]

2. I think the crimes have been continuous...

... and some will never be beyond statute of limitations.

4. I don't think they ever stopped, they probably just got more brazen.

3. My guess is

when all is said and done that the aura of Trump's wealth will be completely destroyed and seen for the fraud it is. He's a tax evading, money laundering, swinling, fraud of a man. He's made his money on the backs of others and mob ties probably.

[edhopper]

5. mob ties

definitely.

6. We are going to find out that the roots of this corruption go far deeper than Trump.

Not that anyone who has been paying attention doesn't already know that. What this investigation is doing is bringing out into the open the corruption our lawmakers have been engaged in--primarily the ones in his filthy, treasonous party. The republican Party has turned this country into a goddamn banana republic over that period of time by rigging the system to their favor. They are all dirty. I have little no that there are dozens and dozens of republican congresspeople and senators who have been engaged in this kind of criminality all along. Trump is just one of many. The GOP is just a rich, white man's version of the Mafia.

7. Point of fact: The Mafia is very much a rich, white man organization.

Just sayin'

[GoCubsGo]

12. Well, having had relatives in the Mafia, I can tell you they weren't all rich.

Not filthy rich like the Koch Brothers, Sheldon Adelson, Mitch McConnell and his piece of shit wife, Mitt Romney, Betsy DeVos... What the vast majority of the Mafia members have in assets is chump change compared to what these people have

Just sayin'

[Stinky The Clown]

13. Your post seems to speaking to a wider group of then GOP than the super rich ones.

Just sayin'

Were your relative made?

[GoCubsGo]

14. No. I just failed to qualify that the GOP is run by uber-rich mobsters, rather than

run-of-the-mill mobsters, like the Mafia. I'm just saying that the investigations of Trump are going to expose the fact that he's a petty crook in comparison to the people who created the circumstances that have allowed him skirt the law all these years. And, that would be the GOP and their financiers, which includes Putin and other Russian mobsters.

[Stinky The Clown]

15. See? Now we agree.

The poor, maligned Mafia guys are always getting unfairly swatted.

[LiberalFighter]

8. Hell yes! Do a full scale investigation. Uncover everything they have done illegally.

Or shady. Take them down and out.

I'm guessing he stayed out of trouble before because of the likes of Giuliani deciding DT was hands off while he was Mayor and when he was in the Attorneys office.

Would like to know if others were involved in covering it up for him.

[Enoki33]

9. There is one train of thought that he has been able to get away with

all his illegal activities for so long because he was taught long ago to grease the right palms. Some of it is called political contributions.There is some evidence to support this.

[unblock]

10. Yes I suspect more than a few government officials on his payroll

Or extorted into turning a blind eye....

[shanny]

11. um-hmmm

Eliot Spitzer, Eric Schneiderman and Cyrus Vance come to mind...
