I, for one, am tired of the discussion regarding collusion between Russian agents and the Trump campaign which aided him in his Electoral College win. The evidence is overwhelming, and common sense guarantees that this is fact. So, enough about that.

I believe that the focus should be on the money trail. The real story is how Russian oligarchs have been allowed to launder their fortunes through the purchase of American real estate.

Let’s go back to 2005, when Donald Trump took his ‘Miss Universe Pageant’ to Moscow. Although there are no records available, there is little doubt that Trump was introduced to Russian oligarchs and President Vladimir Putin. It is impossible to deny that this is a reality.

Once again, in 2013, Trump took his pageant to Moscow. A dossier was composed by former British spy, Christopher Steele. Naturally the late night comics focused on the most lurid details, when Trump allegedly engaged in sexual activity with two young prostitutes in the presidential suite of the Moscow Ritz Carlton. An incident involving urination encouraged me to label it the ‘Golden Showers Dossier.’ But the most important section in the dossier involved Trump’s multiple meetings with Russian oligarchs.

If Trump’s tax returns are revealed, I have no doubt that there will be many instances involving the sale of American real estate to Russians. Once such incident involved Trump’s sale of a mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, to an oligarch. This occurred in 2005, after his visit to Moscow. Trump originally paid $41.35 million for the mansion, and sold it for $95 million; $13 million more than the most expensive property in the area.

Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has represented his family in multiple real estate sales. He is now under investigation for a multi-million dollar sale of Manhattan real estate to a Russian oligarch who has been charged with money laundering.

Kushner failed to disclose four meetings with Russians during the 2016. His SF-86 security clearance form failed to reveal a single contact with a foreign agent.

This fact raises one big question, and two possible answers. What was the purpose of these meetings? One of them involved creating a ‘back channel’ for communication access between Trump and Putin. Were these meetings collusion between Putin and the Trump campaign in an effort to secure the election for Donald Trump? The second question once again involves the sale of real estate in Manhattan. Were these meetings additional efforts to secure the purchase of U.S. real estate for Russian billionaires?

Laundering money for foreign entities is a felony and could be labeled as treason. If the focus of special investigator Robert Mueller was on the ‘money trail,’ I have no doubt that Trump would be removed from the White House, and Kushner with him. Their new residence would be a federal prison.

I haven’t forgotten about Ivanka. There is absolutely no possibility that she has not been fully aware of both her father and her husband’s illegal and nefarious activities. She must also be prosecuted.

For Trump and his spawn, money is god. The Trumps have no loyalty to anyone, including the American people. His primary focus will always be the growth of his personal fortune; and Kushner is a younger version of Trump without the obese body.

Please re-post; thank you.
