...the word from the Wall Street Journal today, after it dug into the financial history of the Toronto based Trump-branded hotel (link).
The newspaper has reported that Donald Trump owned a stake in the hotel at the time, a claim which he now denies.
But his camp is acknowledging that the hotel is managed by the Trump Organization.
Worse, the bank involved has direct ties to Vladimir Putin, Trump’s own family, and a Russian spy ring in New York.

"...meaning that Putin himself was the one who signed off on the Trump Toronto project. VEB is also the bank that Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner met with at Trump Tower in New York during the transition period.

And then there’s the Russian spy ring in New York, which included one spy whose cover was a day job at VEB bank. That spy ring was busted in part by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara – whom Donald Trump ended up firing after he took office.

2. Indeed. We all do what we can!

[Comrade Donald]

3. Trump is a whore for Putin

But his camp is acknowledging that the hotel is managed by the Trump Organization.
Worse, the bank involved has direct ties to Vladimir Putin, Trump’s own family, and a Russian spy ring in New York.

Damn!

Trump should to Russia. Pretty soon he will have to escape to Moscow into Putin's arms.

4. Lol..he's always got a home under Putin's roof.

I wish he would flee. Just gtfo already.

I wonder how much of Trump's crap is seizable anymore.
Property seizure would be some righteous justice for that bum.

Pence, Ryan & a few more down the line of succession also have the FEDS breathing down on their criminal backs, so one by one they either squeel, flee, or take what sentence is handed down.

Can't happen soon enough.
