It's Not Just Robert Mueller. President Donald Trump Faces Six Separate Investigations And Lawsuits.

It’s Not Just Robert Mueller. President Donald Trump Faces Six Separate Investigations And Lawsuits.
Prosecutors are digging into the president’s business from which he refused to divest.

--snip--
There’s hardly been a day this summer in which President Donald Trump didn’t turn to Twitter to vent his frustration with what the president calls the “RIGGED WITCH HUNT” ― the investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. But as the president’s animosity for the special counsel ramps up, the Mueller probe is hardly the only investigation the president has to worry about.

There are currently five separate investigations into Trump and his associates from four different investigative bodies. An additional lawsuit brought by two state attorneys general challenges whether Trump is in violation of the U.S. Constitution. There are further reports about probes into the financial dealings of the president’s eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, and his second eldest son, Eric Trump.

Here’s your guide to the latest probes, indictments, cooperating witnesses and potential targets:
Department of Justice Special Counsel Robert Mueller Probes Russian Conspiracy
**The Russia Connection
**Obstruction Of Justice
**New York Attorney General Investigates Trump Foundation, Trump Campaign and Cohen For Campaign Finance Laws, Fraud
**NYAG Underwood and New York State Department of Taxation and Finance Investigates Michael Cohen For Tax Fraud
**Maryland Attorney General And District of Columbia Attorney General Sue Trump For Emoluments Clause Violation
**Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Potential Investigation Into Trump Organization For Fraud

Don't you know, golf = presidentin'? We have a lazy retiree whose sole purpose is to play golf. The next time a RWer goes after a Dem president for playing golf, I say we kick the living shit out of him...and then remind him of Agolf Twittler.

I voted for Hillary, and got a president under investigation from day one (actually even before that).

No doubt he's going to get caught up in that, as well. I'm surprised they're not investigating him directly, given that he owns that golf club in New Bedminster. I would be surprised if there was no corruption surrounding that place, too.

His most important business contacts have turned on him, and he's being investigated for state crimes as well. He can obstruct some of these, but he's not going to get off. The republicans are still trying to pretend the trump train isn't headed off a cliff, but they are in denial.
