Trump's casino was a money laundering concern shortly after it opened
"The Trump Taj Mahal casino broke anti-money laundering rules 106 times in its first year and a half of operation in the early 1990s, according to the IRS in a 1998 settlement agreement."
"Congressional investigators say they are interested in the global network of Trump's finances to determine if FinCEN's data shows connections between Trump associates and Russia.""The violations date back to a time when the Taj Mahal was the preferred gambling spot for Russian mobsters living in Brooklyn, according to federal investigators who tracked organized crime in New York City."http://edition.cnn.com/2017/05/22/politics/trump-taj-mahal/

Russian money laundering bank funded Donald Trump’s Washington DC hotel during election
"The United States Office for Government Ethics has released ninety-eight pages of details about Donald Trump’s finances, which demonstrate that he’s directly profiting from the presidency in violation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, and that he’s still massively in debt to foreign and domestic banks."
"Earlier this year German-based Deutsche Bank was busted for prolonged pattern of laundering Russian money into the hands of clients in places like New York City (link)."
"It’s also long been established that Deutsche Bank has continued to float huge long-term loans to Donald Trump, even after he became a bad credit risk due to his continual business failures, and even after Deutsche fell on hard financial times itself."

Russia Laundering Probe Puts Trump Tower Meeting in New Light
"Veselnitskaya, who met with Trump Jr. after an email promised him compromising information about Hillary Clinton,
has been depicted as an activist working to repeal human-rights sanctions against Russia."
"But when she stepped into Trump Tower, Veselnitskaya was also representing a client ensnared in a long-running U.S. investigation into an alleged web of Russian money-laundering."
"U.S. prosecutors in the case are seeking to track parts of more than $200 million they say left Russia after a massive fraud, and to identify who was involved in the scheme."

The Mussolini wannabe once again displays his affection for autocrats:
Trump says Turkish president gets 'very high marks'
“It’s a great honor and privilege — because he’s become a friend of mine — to introduce President Erdogan of Turkey,” Trump told reporters."
“He’s running a very difficult part of the world; He’s involved very, very strongly and, frankly, he’s getting very high marks.”
"Erdogan, who spoke through a translator ahead of his meeting with Trump at the Lotte New York Palace Hotel on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, echoed Trump’s sentiment, calling the American president “my dear friend, Donald.”

The occupier of the White House said nothing.

Turkish president: Trump told me he was 'sorry' for bloody protest in DC
"Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that US President Donald Trump apologized to him over a violent clash
that occurred in May between Turkish officials and protesters outside the Turkish embassy in Washington, DC."
"Actually, President Trump called me about a week ago about this issue."
"He said that he was sorry, and he told me that he was going to follow up on this issue when we come to the United States within the framework of an official visit."

Mueller requested phone records about Air Force One statement
"Special counsel Robert Mueller has sought phone records concerning the statement written aboard Air Force One defending a meeting between Trump campaign officials and Russians at Trump Tower last year that was set up by Donald Trump Jr., according to two people familiar with the investigation."
"The requests, first reported by the New York Times, are the latest indication that Mueller's probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 election is expanding to include what has happened in the White House since Trump took office, including questions of obstruction of justice."
"The statement about the Trump Tower meeting, written on the return from a European summit earlier this year, touched off a frenzy inside the White House, with dozens of phone calls from Air Force One and back in Washington and New York."

Trump campaign bodyguard linked to ex-con who’s key in Russia probes
"WASHINGTON Another connection has emerged between Donald Trump and Felix Sater, the Russian emigre and ex-con who's become a key figure in widening investigations into ties between Trump associates and Russian figures."
"Trump plays down his relationship with Sater, despite growing evidence of links between the two, including recently published emails detailing how Sater worked with a top Trump Organization lawyer on a planned Moscow property deal as late as 2016, during the presidential campaign."
"Before he became Trump’s bodyguard, Gary Uher was an FBI agent involved in a complex deal to bring Sater back from Russia in the late 1990s."

Judge Andrew Napolitano: Trump's frightening and tightening legal noose
"An indictment of Manafort, which Mueller says is coming soon, will be used as an instrument to flip him into spilling whatever beans he has on his former boss."
"And we can expect indictments of others presently or formerly near the president as part of the prosecutorial process."
"Where does this leave Trump?, In the hands of incompetent lawyers, under the crosshairs of a team of very aggressive federal prosecutors and publicly indifferent to the tightening and frightening legal noose around him."
Working from the outside in.
Standard procedure.

I am not really into USA Politics...but why the link between being impeached and leaving office. You dont have to leave office if you are impeached do you?
Clinton stayed didn't he?, and although being impeached for completely lying to the American public, he decided he would hang on to his job anyway.....and is now looked upon with some favour.
Impeachment is being accused of a charge.
President Clinton was accused of two charges.
He was acquitted by the Senate.

There is concrete evidence that implicates high levels of Trump's campaign team in collusion.
Even if he was too clueless to know what was going on, he is responsible for this team and its crimes.
I don't read tabloids. I read news from established media that has earned a reputation for accuracy and is keen on keeping that reputation. Where do you get your news?
And:
Grand Juries in Wash. D.C. and Virginia have been convened and Special Counsel Robert Mueller has already,
actively issued subpoenas.
A Grand Jury cannot be convened without evidence.

Show me where it says Trump lost. He won and he has not been impeached.
Occasionally a poster such as yourself will drop in trolling and parroting virtually the same banality as you have,
as if they just arrived on earth.
It's Textbook.
And continuing with this pointless gibberish:
"So we agree that he won't be impeached. Good to hear."
If you don't grasp the seriousness of what is currently taking place, well, I submit you need alot of home work.
Although I have no illusions that you actually will, you can start here:
(Otherwise, carry on with your sophomoric trolling)
Reality is:
Investigating the White House and it's associates are:
The F.B.I.
The House and Senate Intelligence Committees
The Senate Judiciary and House Oversight and Government Reform Committees
The Department of Justice with Special Counsel Mueller
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman along with the I.R.S. financial crimes unit
The Central Intelligence Agency
The National Security Agency
The Treasury Department
And the Grand Juries in Virginia and D.C.
The F.B.I has raided the house of the occupier of the White House' campaign manager, Paul Manafort.
In the case of NSA Michael Flynn, the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, and the Treasury Department, which also has a financial-crimes division are investigating him.
Grand Juries in Virginia and D.C. have been convened.
Federal prosecutors in eastern Virginia have already issued subpoenas to Flynn associates.
Another FBI target is Carter Page, one-time Trump campaign adviser on foreign-policy issues.
And the fact that the occupier of the White House' son admitted that he,
along with Senior Advisor to the White House Jared Kushner and said occupier's campaign manager,
Paul Manafort, held a clandestine meeting with agents from a foreign adversary, Russia.
(Along with four other undisclosed meetings with the Russians)
Reality.

In your dreams. Still can't accept that Trump won. Get over it and let him work on his mandate. He will most likely finish 2 terms. Just occasionally check back to see if the huffing and puffing is still going on and I see it is in volumes.

Why are you looking for every excuse in the book. He won. Plain and simple. Why can't you accept it? He WON! Deal with the reality dude!

Russians May Have Used Facebook to Push Pro-Trump Rallies During 2016 Election
"In an explosive new report, news site The Daily Beast says Facebook accounts believed to have been operated by Russian propagandists tried to rally Floridians for a "Florida Goes Trump!" effort; Trump supporters were asked to start a "patriotic state-wide flash mob" in the 17 cities"
“On August 20, we want to gather patriots on the streets of Floridian towns and cities and march to unite America and support Donald Trump!" an event page supporting the effort said, according to The Daily Beast."
"The account was ultimately taken down in August 2017, at the same time Facebook removed accounts believed to have been operated by Russia's Internet Research Agency."

Sanders to Trump: Companies Outsourcing Jobs Should Not Get Government Contracts
"WASHINGTON – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) argued that President Trump has violated his campaign promise to be a champion for working people because the air conditioning company Carrier is moving jobs overseas."
"The senator complained that Carrier, a private company based in Indiana, is moving jobs overseas and paying workers $3 per hour in Mexico."
“He was going to stop the outsourcing of good-paying jobs to Mexico, China and other low-wage countries and he looked the workers at Carrier in Indiana in the eye and he promised that not one of their jobs would be moved to Mexico, not a single job; Unfortunately, as in many, many other instances, he was lying,” he added."
Well Bernie, are you surprised the occupier of the White House is a lying hypocrite?
Heck, to this day, he, along with his daughter, are champions of outsourcing their own products to Mexico, China, Honduras, Vietnam and Bangladesh.

No reasons not to remove the roadblocks to legal trade - especially with Allied countries. If India Australia UK etc want to buy more arms from USA, why not make it easier and stop giving benefit to China and Russia to sell their gear. Liberal lunacy to think stopping USA selling arms will stop others buying then from others and using them.
"Liberal lunacy"
Another example of the hyperbolic hostility and divisiveness,
continually displayed by acolytes of the occupier of the White House.
Their malice and marginalizing erupts at every opportunity they can seize to exhibit it.
2 hours ago, webfact said:Domestic gun sales have fallen significantly after soaring under President Barack Obama, when gun enthusiasts stockpiled weapons and ammunition out of fear that the government would tighten gun laws.
2 hours ago, webfact said:The powerful U.S. gun lobby backed Trump in the 2016 election. The National Rifle Association spent more than $30 million in support of his candidacy. "I am going to come through for you," Trump told the NRA convention in April.
Pandering to lobbyists and special interests and his base.
"I don’t want lobbyists. I don’t want special interests.” DJT.
Another LIE repeatedly, exposed.

DID JARED KUSHNER’S DATA OPERATION HELP SELECT FACEBOOK TARGETS FOR THE RUSSIANS?
“I called somebody who works for one of the technology companies that I work with, and I had them give me a tutorial on how to use Facebook micro-targeting,” Kushner told Steven Bertoni of Forbes."
“We brought in Cambridge Analytica."
"And I asked them how to scale this stuff . . . We basically had to build a $400 million operation,
with 1,500 people operating in 50 states.”

Cambridge Analytica
"Cambridge Analytica (CA) is a privately held company that combines data mining and data analysis
with strategic communication for the electoral process."
"On May 18, 2017, Time Magazine reported that the US Congress is investigating CA in connection with
Russian attempts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election."
"The report alleges that CA may have coordinated the spread of Russian propaganda using its microtargetting capabilities."
Robert Mercer is a major investor in Cambridge Analytica, and principal financier of Breitbart News and Steve Bannon, vice president of Cambridge Analytica until he joined the Trump campaign:

Manafort used Trump campaign account to email Ukrainian operative
"Former Donald Trump aide Paul Manafort used his presidential campaign email account to correspond with a Ukrainian political operative with suspected Russian ties, according to people familiar with the correspondence."
"Manafort sent emails to seek repayment for previous work he did in Ukraine and to discuss potential new opportunities in the country, even as he chaired Trump’s presidential campaign, these people said."
"During the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, Ukrainian investigators said they had discovered evidence that Manafort received millions of dollars in off-the-books payments for his work there."

Mueller Seeks White House Documents Related to Trump’s Actions as President
"WASHINGTON — Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, has asked the White House for documents about some of President Trump’s most scrutinized actions since taking office, including the firing of his national security adviser and F.B.I. director, according to White House officials."
"Mr. Mueller is also interested in an Oval Office meeting Mr. Trump had with Russian officials in which he said the dismissal of the F.B.I. director had relieved “great pressure” on him."
"The document requests provide the most details to date about the breadth of Mr. Mueller’s investigation, and show that several aspects of his inquiry are focused squarely on Mr. Trump’s behavior in the White House."

Your continued parroting of the term "tabloids" is reprehensible and jejune.
You are weakly attempting to change the narrative by categorizing many fine reporting institutions as such.
It reveals your less than sublime distaste for them and the facts.
If all that you read are "tabloids", then therein lies the evidence of your uninformed state.
Or, you are simply employing disingenuous Trolling.
