Ironically one of the main reasons some of my clients have segregated their assets into so many different legal entities is to prevent any one of their idiot children from squandering it all.

does trump not sell bumper stickers or are people not putting them on their cars because I haven't actually seen any actual red hats in the flesh in months. I mean I've met trump supporters but no one wearing any visible signs of it.

It looks like they jumped the embargo. NBCNews may have gotten the scoop and is reporting it first:

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/leaked-documents-show-commerce-secretary-concealed-ties-putin-cronies-n817711

quote:

Wilbur Ross, the commerce secretary in the Trump administration, shares business interests with Vladimir Putin’s immediate family, and he failed to clearly disclose those interests when he was being confirmed for his cabinet position.

Ross — a billionaire industrialist — retains an interest in a shipping company, Navigator Holdings, that was partially owned by his former investment company. One of Navigator’s most important business relationships is with a Russian energy firm controlled, in turn, by Putin’s son-in-law and other members of the Russian president’s inner circle.

e: Originally came here to post that it looks like Flynn is going to be the next one to go down:

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/mueller-has-enough-evidence-bring-charges-flynn-investigation-n817666

quote:

WASHINGTON — Federal investigators have gathered enough evidence to bring charges in their investigation of President Donald Trump's former national security adviser and his son as part of the probe into Russia's intervention in the 2016 election, according to multiple sources familiar with the investigation.

Michael T. Flynn, who was fired after just 24 days on the job, was one of the first Trump associates to come under scrutiny in the federal probe now led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into possible collusion between Moscow and the Trump campaign.

Mueller is applying renewed pressure on Flynn following his indictment of Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, three sources familiar with the investigation told NBC News.

The investigators are speaking to multiple witnesses in coming days to gain more information surrounding Flynn's lobbying work, including whether he laundered money or lied to federal agents about his overseas contacts, according to three sources familiar with the investigation.

He’s an impressionable piece of poo poo who just wants power and glory without any work involved and once one Russian stooge got close to him they were able to influence the hiring of a bunch of other Russian stooges.

My theory at least.

Russia is the ultimate place for corrupt ultra-rich capitalists to make towering stacks of cash through shady business deals. Since that's Trump's MO he's obviously going to know and be friends with lots of people doing the same thing and since he doesn't pick people based on their experience in governing or anything of the sort we ended up with a government packed with Trump's shady friends and business partners.

Frankly it'd be much more surprising if they didn't have ties to Russia.

Wasn't the speculation that Trump was bankrupt (personally not just a shell game with LLCs to gently caress over other people) and Russian oligarchs started shoveling money up his rear end for years since no western banks would touch him with an investor's ten foot pole?

Always made sense to me that Trump was a self-made millionaire that had a tiny boost from daddy's billions.

Current estimates are he lost more than he would've made had he just sat on his money. The guy is notorious for failed businesses, its not unusual to believe he owes the Russians cash, especially as the Russian State Bank is now largely a Russian Mob/KGB project.
