It will make it that much easier for the hounds to track him, just follow the stink.
The scrutiny one is subject to in the Office of the Presidency is the last thing Mafioso trDump and his crime syndicate really needs.
Mueller is about to give this dirty little thug a bubble bath.

(9,989 posts)The Magnitsky Act still stands, continuing to undermine Russian oligarchs abilty to launder their illegal money. I doubt that Trump will be able to accomplish that goal because this seems to be the only point where Republicans refuse to bow down to him. So will Putin cut his losses and decide that he cannot gain much more from Trump? I also find it interesting that Putin dumped at least some U.S. dollars in favor of buying gold. What is he planning that might undermine the dollar?

(47,430 posts)realizes Trump can't help him on the Magnitsky Act and that he can't bribe/blackmail enough republicans to do the job, I picture him playing with his American puppet like a caged rat. Might as well have some fun while he's at it, then he can cut him loose.
I didn't realize that Putin was dumping U.S. dollars.That certainly is a cause for concern.

One more reason why the Magnitsky Act was the RIGHT THING to do!
Putin can dump all the dollars he wants, it doesn't mean shit to us.
PatSeg
(47,430 posts)letting compromising material on Trump "leak" to the media, then sitting back and watching the Trump meltdown. Meanwhile, he has caused probably more damage than he could have hoped for.
As for the dumping the U.S. dollars, I am concerned about what Putin's hackers can do to our financial institutions, not to mention our electrical grids and power plants as well.

(32,639 posts)I don't think he wants to go to war with us.
PatSeg
(47,430 posts)Many people think interfering in our elections was an act of war. With Putin, it isn't always apparent what his long game is. Breaking up the EU and NATO, plus ending sanctions against Russia are on the top of the list. After the last couple years, I am expecting the unexpected.

From the Greek and a slightly different viewpoint but still accurate to describe the dump:
