If Trump has American and Russian Mob connections......

They will be rich with his manipulation of the market. We are talking about money which would dwarf any of their other illegal activities, and great sales on trump projects from beholden winners on the stock market. Trump is crazy like a fox when it come to cheating and lying to make a buck.

Maybe.  And mabye he's just a boorish con-man real estate developer who likes to take shortcuts when/wherever he can ... and  is really not all that astute about business.

If Trump has "mob" connections ... I imagine they probably laugh at him behind his back.    Wouldn't stop them from  trying to profit off of him, of course.  The term "useful idiot" comes to mind.

Soybean futures......a person could make tens of millions of dollars shorting both soybeans and the chinese general market index........Hell, Putin could care less about politics.....he and the Russian Oligarchs know that money Trumps politics..........when will the press see the pattern........not too soon because we have a thousand abram tanks sitting in a california desert, as Trump just approved a 3 billion dollar subsidy to MIC to retrofit some of those mothballed tanks, but tell me who the hell are we going to use a thousand tanks against? In this day of missiles and satellites who know where every ship is.......are we going to ship them to europe.......south Korea........or are we going to give them to the local police department.........these policies all have stock market winners.......The prosecutors have to follow the money.

Two words: Yield Curve

I don't believe it's IF, but how far back. Deus X will appreciate the brevity of this article...hehehe...


Will Trump Be Meeting With His Counterpart — Or His Handler?
A plausible theory of mind-boggling collusion.

"On June 14, 2016, the Washington Post reported that Russian hackers had broken into the Democratic National Committee’s files and gained access to its research on Donald Trump. A political world already numbed by Trump’s astonishing rise barely took notice. News reports quoted experts who suggested the Russians merely wanted more information about Trump to inform their foreign-policy dealings. By that point, Russia was already broadcasting its strong preference for Trump through the media. Yet when news of the hacking broke, nobody raised the faintest suspicions that Russia wished to alter the outcome of the election, let alone that Trump or anybody connected with him might have been in cahoots with a foreign power. It was a third-rate cyberburglary. Nothing to see here.

The unfolding of the Russia scandal has been like walking into a dark cavern. Every step reveals that the cave runs deeper than we thought, and after each one, as we wonder how far it goes, our imaginations are circumscribed by the steps we have already taken. The cavern might go just a little farther, we presume, but probably not much farther. And since trying to discern the size and shape of the scandal is an exercise in uncertainty, we focus our attention on the most likely outcome, which is that the story goes a little deeper than what we have already discovered. Say, that Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort told their candidate about the meeting they held at Trump Tower with a Russian lawyer after they were promised dirt on Hillary Clinton; and that Trump and Kushner have some shady Russian investments; and that some of Trump’s advisers made some promises about lifting sanctions.

But what if that’s wrong? What if we’re still standing closer to the mouth of the cave than the end?..."
