    A single and nameless source is not much to go on. I don't think I want to hang my hat on that. But, there is a robustness to the Deutsche Bank angle because of all the other stories about this bank, Russian oligarchs, money laundering, Russian kompromat practices, Trump's credit history, and Trump's bizarre foreign policy toward Russia. So, this one story might be total bs, but if it was true it would fit right in with everything else. Maybe the whole tapestry has been fabricated from the beginning, but if it was it's been beautifully woven.

    It is fairly obvious that something like this is going on......the way he constantly gives Putin a reach around.

    Trump has been found guilty of laundering money before - I am sure he is still doing it.....just doesn't want his Russian ties outted, and the Republicans know it, but so many of them took Russian money through the NRA that they don't want that exposed as it would hurt Moskow Mitch and Lindsey Graham.

    It is possible. One unnamed source isn't proof by any means. I don't think this should have been broadcast on the air based only on that.

    connect the dots


    In January 2017, Deutsche Bank agreed to pay U.S. and British regulators $630 million in fines over artificial trades between Moscow, London and New York that authorities said were used to launder $10 billion out of Russia.
    Why did a Russian oligarch pay $ 100 M for a Trump estate in Florida for which he had paid ~ $40 M, the year before

    There is no doubt that Trump has laundered money - but his followers are desperate to not care.

    The reason he wasn't found guilty of money laundering which you erroneously wrote is because these weren't money laundering violations.

    Its violating irs rules of not reporting cash transactions more than $10K which can easily happen in casinos.

    The rules are in place to prevent money laundering but because they were violated doesn't mean money was being laundered.

    From this article

    To date, no one has documented that Trump was even aware of any suspicious entanglements in his far-flung businesses, let alone that he was directly compromised by the Russian mafia or the corrupt oligarchs who are closely allied with the Kremlin. So far, when it comes to Trump’s ties to Russia, there is no smoking gun.

    It will be difficult for trump to continue to plead ignorance for all of the interactions his business and now campaign and cabinet people have had with russia. But I don't expect trump defenders to understand that...

    It will be difficult to do something more ignorant than posting an article that says there is no proof as proof

    Especially when the reader isn't honest and cherry picks quotes... but again, expected from a trump defender.

    You're the one cherry picking.

    A mobster lived in his apartment and Trump went to visit him. His business is privately held

    What does that prove. There are plenty of private business owners who have been to Russia.
