Trump's real estate deals
President Donald Trump's lawyer, Jay Sekulow, told The New Yorker this week that the president's legal team would consider it out of bounds for special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate a business deal Trump pursued in Georgia six years ago with a Kazhak oligarch who has direct links to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"The Georgia real-estate deal is something we would consider out of scope," Sekulow told the publication. "Georgia is not Russia."
He noted that he would raise the issue with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein if he sensed Mueller "drifting" outside the question of whether there was "coordination between the Russian government and people on the Trump campaign."
"I want to be really specific," Sekulow said. "A real-estate deal would be outside the scope of legitimate inquiry."

(63,221 posts)Seriously, they are all like the gang who can't shoot straight. Why would they consider the Georgia real estate deal out of scope? Why would any of his real-estate holdings be out of scope? Is there any legal reason why this would be so? If not, they are pretty much advertising the fact that something shady is going on there.

Sekulow has ALWAYS been a dumbass and a shitty lawyer. He only even has a JD because Pat Robertson aid for him to get one from Regent University.
