Phil1111 1,183 #1 July 15, 2018 In the last week there have been dozens of investigative news stories. All in relation to cash purchases made by the trump organization since 2013. Dirty Russian money is nothing new for the trump group of companies. As stories of all cash purchases, for trump condos, by Russians, have gone on for over two decades. Whats new is all cash purchases made in the sole name of the trump group. When no banks would lend to it and for which leverage, i.e. mortgages.

Simpson, who works for the consulting firm Fusion GPS, was asked to research then-presidential candidate Trump in 2015/16.... “Well, we saw what Eric Trump [the second son of the president] said about Russian money being available for his golf – for the golf course projects, making remarks about having unlimited sums available.... “And these golf courses are just, you know, they’re sinks. They don’t actually make any money. " Well trump will console his banker tomorrow in Helsinki. As usual make many promises of better times ahead. Perhaps President Putin will drop a couple names on trump.
