My take - Don the Con and his entire family are caught up in this Russian mess which

[malaise]

was of their own doing. I hope someone kept tapes of the family meetings.

[WinkyDink]

1. Literally, for decades. Dec. Ades. From the turning of the first spade of dirt. Follow the $$$$$$.

[malaise]

2. Yep follow the money

I suspect that extra long meeting with Rasputin was about promises made for money and hacking.
LOCK THEM UP!

[Thirties Child]

13. Rasputin! You give me so much truth and so many chuckles. Thanks.

[malaise]

22. Heheheheheh

Welcome to DU Thirties Child

[Thirties Child]

24. Thanks for the welcome, but I've been around since 2004.

I'm a world-class lurker, had a thousand posts in 2012 when we moved, had a new computer, new server, forgotten password. Had to start over.

[malaise]

25. LOL

[Leghorn21]

20. Okay, malaise:

[BadgerMom]

17. Decades. Correct.

This burns like a hot coal. Law enforcement has known about his questionable--nay, illegal--ties for years. Heck, I'VE known about his questionable ties for years. How was he allowed to get so far? Seriously, how?

[Achilleaze]

3. Clan Traitor (R)

sired by the casino- sharpie republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

[spanone]

4. ...

[malaise]

7. Truth will out

LOCK THEM UP!

[rurallib]

5. My take is that because Daddy was broke he was forced to become the Russian oligarchs'

go to money launderer.

Junior wasn't there about adoption or Hillary. They were just covers for a major laundry event.
Maybe I am nuts.

[malaise]

6. No you are not nuts

He actually thought he could get away with this because he's gotten away with lots of shit in the past

[Shell_Seas]

8. Since a sitting president can't be arrested,

It will be hilarious to watch him blow after his 3 oldest children and son in law are arrested.

[malaise]

9. That will be fun too watch but he will willingly

throw them all under the bus - never forget he's a lunatic narcissist

[Shell_Seas]

10. I was hoping that would force his resignation.

Fingers crossed.

[phylny]

15. The one time in her life that Tiffany will be happy she's not "in" with the family LOL n/t

[Tatiana]

11. Pretty sure Moscow (Putin) put him up to running for President.

He clearly hates the job and does not have the stamina nor interest in "Presidenting."

The kids and son-in-law, on the other hand, initially seemed to like their new gigs.

Trump is a Russian asset, cultivated since the late 80s/early 90s.

[skip fox]

12. There's likely significant spill-over as well. To, say, some Republican leaders.

Is that why they are so reluctant to throw Trump overboard?

[CrispyQ]

14. I hope the whole Trump clan comes to regret the Con's run for the highest office,

as he drags the family brand through the sewer. I'd love if Kushner finked out the Con.

[malaise]

26. I hope the entire clan ends up in prison

but it would be run to watch them out rat-fugg one another

[HipChick]

31. Kushner dad went to jail..

I'm sure he ain't trying to relieve the experience..

[Mr.Bill]

16. They have to remove Donald from office first.

Otherwise he will simply pardon everyone.

[keithbvadu2]

18. Just more Trump bunch lies about not meeting with the Russians.

[Vinca]

19. I think you're right and it goes back years before there was a campaign.

Both sons have bragged about their Russian financing and business interests. It's been a "one hand washes the other" arrangement for a long time, but now Don is far deeper in debt to them than ever before.

[not fooled]

21. I agree he will pardon everyone if he's still the "president"

but not if he is out of office first.

At any rate, when the history of this sorry era is written, the family name will be reviled in American history. Will become synonymous with corruption and graft. Of course, dump probably doesn't care because he will be dead and if it doesn't affect him, he doesn't care.

But that's some legacy to leave to future generations of his family.

Oh, and donnie, have another bucket of KFC. Remember that all those medical theories about fat and junk food being bad for you are just alternate facts.

[Solly Mack]

23. I agree

[WhiteTara]

27. This isn't a "mess" my dear malaise

This is treason.

[malaise]

28. It's both

[WhiteTara]

29. ...

for their sorry asses going to prison!

[malaise]

30. I sure hope so
