And then maybe Don Jr., depending on what they get out of Manafort regarding the Trump Tower meeting with Veselnitskaya. That won't happen, if it happens, until after the election. And what goes down after that is anybody's guess.

Right now Uday, Qusay, and Ivanka are the most vulnerable because it's safe to say the shell corporations use to avoid taxes are all in their names.

Did you notice that Manuchin announced new trade negotiations with China instead of Ross?

Ross.

If you want to follow the Money Laundering, Bank of Cyprus is where you go. I can't believe Trump was dumb enough to put him in the cabinet (ok, yes I can), or that Ross would accept the position.

Why would you want to attract scrutiny?

Ross likely helped Trump with some of Trump's illegal activities and Trump rewarded him with a job in government.

As much as he might deserve it, guys like Ross rarely get caught up in stuff like this. He has spread so much money around, he would have ambassadors and prime ministers and and Rothschilds and probably even monarchs come to his defense.

Smart enough to insulate himself - at least with plausible deniability.

And he'd never sit down willingly.

We are pretty close to the top. I think Stone is a plaything. If he can fill in a blank spot cool. I don't think he's the fish they are after though. The air is getting pretty thin up at the top. Who is above campaign chair. Answer not many.
