Senate Intel Committee Now Investigating Trump's Various Trips to Russia

Source: Law & Crime

-snip-

According to The Atlantic‘s Natasha Bertrand, Senate investigators are combing over at least three separate trips Trump took to Russia and the Soviet Union during each of the last three decades.

House Democrats are buoyed by recent revelations from Michael Cohen‘s Wednesday testimony in front of that chamber’s oversight committee in regards to various Trump Organization business interests. During that dramatic, often tense, day-long question-and-answer session, Cohen appeared to have implicated Trump in various federal crimes–including possible wire fraud.

Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) methodically obtained a series of leads for Democrats on the House panel.

The president seemed to have been somewhat agitated by Cohen’s focus on his financial interests, tweeting on Friday about the looming and ongoing investigations into his real estate empire.

I understand where it's coming from, but I'd like to see it phrased restricting it to crime.

Many people are "in the closet" because they are in tough situations: women in some muslim cultures, LGBTQ in hard right fundamentalist areas, people with abusive spouses, people hiding a disability for career advancement, etc.

They legitimately don't want someone to find out, but they should not be denied being who they are because of the need to hide it.

Has a Translator ever been Subpoenaed? Certain that if this could happen, it would have to occur behind closed doors. Still, would be nice for ALL of or Government Officials to know what exactly transpired between tRump and Putin.

We have a real Russia influence problem and it is deep. AOC- Please subpoena Dana Rohrbacher, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan and McCarthy. Quote from the latter: "I swear there are people Putin pays; Rohrbacher and Trump." Ryan quickly defused the conversation; "we're all family here" ie shut up (over roars of laughter). In bed with Moscow big time.

It is a criminal enterprise. Nixon ran a gang of burglars, his vice president resigned because he was a crook and Nixon along with him. Half his administration was indicted and went to prison. The same for Reagan with some 24 convictions. Bush and the one of the evilest men to ever have been government, Cheney took us to war in Iraq. Now this monstrosity is attempting to destroy the government and replace it with a virtual dictatorship. Why it is tolerated is the question.

I presume this is just to interfere with the House and come out first with its preordained "nothing wrong here" nonsense (again.)

Alleged Bank fraud(s) (Fraudulently boosting values of assets in order to get loans.)
Alleged Tax fraud(s) (Fraudulently under-evaluating the same assets on tax returns.)
Alleged Election Funding fraud(s) (Catch 'n Kill scams.)
Alleged Inauguration Funding fraud(s) (Where's the 'missing' $40 Million?)
Alleged Trump Foundation fraud(s)...

Once documents show up for all of that in Committees... he's toast.
