A Democratic Senator wants the Treasury Department to hand over records relating to President Donald Trump’s sale of a Palm Beach estate which he bought for $41 million to a Russian oligarch for $95 million only four years later.

"It is imperative that Congress follow the money and conduct a thorough investigation into any potential money laundering or other illicit financial dealings between the president, his associates, and Russia," wrote Senator Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat,

Wyden, who sits on the Senate Intelligence Committee that is investigating alleged collusion between the Trump camp and Russia, wrote that the transaction between Trump and oligarch Dmitry Rybolovev is being probed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

In the request, he notes the timing of the 2008 sale, which came months after Trump Entertainment Resorts filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and while the then real estate mogul was struggling to find banks willing to lend to him.

Trump has in the past attributed the mark up to renovations he made to the property, which he snapped up when the previous owner filed for bankruptcy.

"What do I have to do with Russia?" Trump told a reporter in 2016.
"You know the closest I came to Russia, I bought a house a number of years ago in Palm Beach, Florida... for $40 million and I sold it to a Russian for $100 million including brokerage commissions."

The Trump Organization and Treasury Department has not commented on Wyden’s request.

Wyden has requested Treasury Department Suspicious Activity Reports on the transaction, which are filed when officials suspect money laundering, and information on who purchased the estate when it was sold off in separate lots by Rybolovev to buyers operating through offshore companies

more fishing expeditions from Mueller.
I heard Trump sold a bottle of Russian vodka one time - Mueller should investigate that too

This is from 2008~ HOW is this related to Russian collusion on the election? ( it's not)

what a freaking joke the Mueller investigation has become
 
lets even assume it was money laundering, and not just a straight sale.

Why is Mueller investigating it? what does this have to do with his charter of Russian collusion on the election and matter related?

What you morons are endorsing is not just weaponization of the INTEl Community, but also willing to erase
the fact Trump was duly elected with the knowledge of this sale - potentially overturning the will of the people.
It'snotlike we din't know it was sold to da Russians -Trump even said so.

Do election "matter" or not?
Not to the Trump Derangement Syndrome crowd; who could care less about IC abuses or digging in Trump's closets with any attempt to find dirt -as long as it's tangential to da Russians.

we elected Trump knowing he was a international real estate mogul.
But Mueller can go fishing anywhere, anytime he please and you asshats are just find with
operating off a general warrant

It can be a Full Time Job educating the stupid ... but I suggest, why bother educating them, when obviously you can sell them anything for a profit.

I'm guessing that you could put money on this is what Trump is so afraid of.

It carries more penalty than obstruction or collusion.

If money laundering is the conclusion, you can bet that Trump will stop at nothing to keep his perfumed ass out of jail and from losing his money.

Part of the investigation, seems if one is investigating Russian influence in America contacts with a Russian oligarch might be noteworthy, not like everyone in America has personal dealings with Russian oligarchs, especially when the person under investigation has a history of avoiding transparency with his financial dealings
 
where is probable cause to look into the transaction? There is none.
So now we just prosecutors roam wild because it's "da Russians" he sold the house to?

"Da Russians" are a probable cause? what a bunch of asshattery

so we are going with 2 wrongs make a right? what kind of justice is that?

Not at all, just pointing out that a conservative complaining about investigations seems a bit hypocritical given thier history with investigations during the last nine years

why would it be unusual to sell to a Russian? Do Russian buy up real estate in Florida? ( yes)
where is the probable cause to delve into the transaction?

and no Mueller's charter isn't about "Russian contacts". It's about Russian collusion and matters related

I find it absolutely amazing dems ( who are one time defended civil liberties) will bend the Bill of Rights into a pretzel for TDS

As I said, ain't many Americans who have Russian oligarchs as friends and business associates

hypocritical or not - and I agree the same thing happened with Starr - do we just back it and write it off as bad conservative karma?
