Perhaps you’ve been trying to cipher out why Mr. Trump
appears to be so smitten with Mr. Putin. I have.
So, what’s the deal?
Writer Neil Baron of Salon turns a spotlight on a reasonable
answer in his recent article.
“It has nothing to do with politics.”
"Since Trump’s nomination, 70 percent of Trump sales
were to limited liability companies frequently used by Russians to hide their
identity, stow cash and, most likely, violate U.S. sanctions. Hundreds of
millions of dollars from unidentified sources funded Trump’s unprofitable golf
courses in Ireland and Scotland. Testimony before Congress suggests they were
used to launder money for the Russian mafia. Steve Bannon told Michael Wolff,
in speaking of White House corruption: “This is about money laundering … the
path to …Trump goes right through Paul Manafort, Don Junior and Jared Kushner.”
"The blackmail potential in all these financial
shenanigans is abundant. Implicating Trump in almost any of these schemes could
expose him to charges of money laundering and bank fraud."
