How did Prevezon Holding supposedly move mob money into the United States? By snapping up expensive condos and other real estate.

The connection between Bharara’s cases and Trump–Russia wasn’t immediately obvious. But Bharara hinted heavily that he had been ousted to close down a investigation of corruption related to Trump.
Until now, the case didn’t seem to be a peek into corruption inside the Trump regime. But with the spotlight now falling on Natalia Veselnitskaya, the actions of Prevezon Holdings Ltd are coming squarely to the center. Prevezon appears to be yet another holding company created expressly for the purpose of turning Russian mob money into American real estate in deals that allow oligarchs to clean their stolen funds and US real estate moguls to pocket fat profits. Deals exactly like those Trump is known to have used to escape bankruptcy.
When Donald Trump Jr. says that Veselnitskaya came to his office to discuss “adoption,” what he means is that she wanted to discuss the Magnitsky Act. And that discussion not only reflects on the US sanctions and blacklisting of Russian officials that resulted from the act, it directly plays into the Russian use of US real estate for money-laundering. Which was something Trump Jr. knew very, very well.

Veselnitskaya acted as the lawyer for Denis Katsyv, a key figure in the U.S. indictment. The son of a former Moscow regional transport minister, he was sole owner of Prevezon Holdings, which was named in the U.S. indictment alleging that some proceeds from the tax fraud scheme were laundered through the purchase of New York City real estate.
(Want to guess who owned that real estate? Kushner and or Trump? Just saying.)
The U.S. Attorney's Office in New York announced in May that the case was settled*, subject to court approval, with Prevezon agreeing to pay nearly $6 million. The settlement specifies that it is a "compromise of disputed claims" and that the defendants denied that the allegations "occurred as described." It adds that the complaint doesn't allege that any of the defendants were "responsible, directly or indirectly, for the arrest, detention or death of Sergei Magnitsky.
* This could have been part of the deal from the June 2016 Veselnitskaya, Trump Jr., Kushner, and Manafort meeting. Jeff Sessions might have helped in putting this deal through too.

Q: Did any Trump campaign member have contact with the Russians?
Pence: "Of course not.”
Feel free to copy this and send it around "the internets."
It was a coup, it was treason, and it was an act of war by a hostile foreign power.

Russia was into our elections @ the county level

GREEN BAY — County websites of the Democratic Party in the area have been under attack, at least one apparently by Russian hackers, an officer of the party said.
What appears to have been Russian hackers compromised the website of the 8th Congressional District Democratic Party as well as the sites of seven county Democratic party organizations, said Mary Ginnebaugh, who chairs the congressional district as well as the Brown County Democratic parties.
Russian hackers have been accused on the national level with interfering with the U.S. presidential election by getting into the Democratic National Committee’s website as well as that of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in Washington.
While no one can prove beyond doubt that Russians also were involved in the local hack job, two hackers left “calling cards” with Russian email addresses on the local websites in an apparent gesture of contempt or braggadocio, Ginnebaugh said. Green Bay police were notified and have forwarded information to the FBI, she said.

Donald Trump’s Worst Deal
The President helped build a hotel in Azerbaijan that appears to be a corrupt operation engineered by oligarchs tied to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.

Yes, Russia hacked the election but it did not change the outcome. Trump won fair and square.
It really wasn’t 17 intel agencies that investigated the Trump/Russia connections.
But what about Bill Clinton’s meeting w/Loretta Lynch?
Who can photoshop? We need to make this a picture of Putin w/a fishing rod reeling in Trump.
https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029304567BTW Trump is a really weird looking man.

So tell me where I am wrong w/my thinking?
Trump admits that the Russians helped to win the election by going after
Hillary but it is really "the black guy's fault."

After which he meets with Putin who told him that 17 different US Intel
agencies are wrong and that nothing really happened and Trump says
that he believes what the former head of the KBG is saying and later at
a press conference the two laugh like thugs by saying something like
"which ones aren't being nice to Trump?" in what can only be taken as a threat on
the freedom of the press and reporter's lives.

It was coup and we had and still have treason and the POTUS is working with and for
Russian mobsters. We can not allow this to stand.
HRC should be in the White House, Merrick Garland should be on the SCOTUS, and Russ Feigold
should be back in the senate. And do not say anything about the US Constitution because Mitch
McConnell used it as toilet paper when it came to President Obama and the Supreme Court.
