Adam Davidson: This is why I think Trump is doing more than tax avoidance (threadreaderapp.com)

Interesting. I assume nothing will come of this because he's both the POTUS and rich enough to avoid complications, but it's still interesting to see how the sausage is made.


Yeah, he has no adversaries that would use this against him. No one stands up to Trump. I've never seen the news media and an opposition party roll over like this.

/s


You say that, but given how many people are upset with him and how many literal crimes he has publicly admitted to - has anything happened?

He claims to be untouchable and so far it looks like he is.


Which crime has he admitted to specifically?


Honestly, I don't pay that much attention to American politics since there's enough to be worried about in my country, but iirc he openly admitted to obstruction of justice and to the Ukraine stuff post-impeachment?

I'm sure there's been other stuff too, he likes to brag.


Laundering money through banks is risky. The better option is to find private sources who are their own banks and not really scrutinized to a high degree. If Trump (idiot) can do this and get away with it, I can only imagine this is a common business model for billionaires that he's simply copied.


And yet money laundering through banks has led to many high-profile scandals in the last couple of years and is quite common.
