It's in the link post in the thread. It's about 8 paragraphs down from the beginning!

"The Trump Organization and the Trump family were never involved in any type of illegal activity, and there is no evidence that any of the Trumps had known about Ventura, or the criminal backgrounds of others who were associated with the project, the investigation revealed."

No blind eye was turned as he had nothing to do with the project. he was not responsible for renting building or anything else.

someone simply paid him to put his name on it. the entire management of the building was someone else.
again reuters found that no wrong doing was done. sorry you can't accept that.

Reuters also said, "Reuters could not determine what due diligence Trump carried out in relation to the Ocean Club project." Due diligence would have been most wise, don't you think, given Panama's level of corruption? Do you suppose the Trump Organization even looked at the Transparency Corruptions Perceptions Index?

According to your man Ventura no one from the Trump Organization ever inquired as to his background or the background of the people he was associated with or dealing with or where the money was coming from. Trump Organization wasn't required by law to ask Ventura but so far there doesn't seem to be any evidence of the Trump people conducting due diligence to avoid breaking US federal law. And, by the way, it is on record that Trump himself was well aware of his legal obligation in that regard.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
 
Ok. Well, that stuff happens all the time, around the country, and not unique only to what Trump owns. Schools, streets, people's own homes, hospitals/doctor offices, attorney offices, bars, government owned institutions, and the list goes on. Doesn't mean the people at a place that specializes in one area's workers and their heads are involved, so it's a poor example of trying to link someone to some crime organization, in this case Trump and the Russian mob. Seriously, do you guys have anything else better to do than kicking a dead horse? It's been over a year, nothing has happened, and nothing will happen to Trump. Get over it and accept the fact he's President of the United States. We've done it with everyone else, either we liked or didn't like, so this is no different. And all the arguments have been made, so you're just giving your hopes up that he'll be removed and Hillary will take his place. A waste in time and effort. Besides, it's the holiday season. Get a piece of turkey or 2, grab some eggnog, and let's bring the 2018 properly (see what I did there).

And you are suggesting that the Trump Organization had no legal obligation to attempt to determine if people with criminal backgrounds were associated with the project?

Are you suggesting that associated Panamanian officials did not possibly stand to gain financially from the project?

Are you relying solely on information reported in a Salon article?

Your man, ludin, said that Salon cannot be believed and is an unreliable source. Y'all are all over the place. I must say that I've never seen Trump defenders so loyal to media.

Gone off the deep end with this post. See if you had read past the headline would have known it's a BS story. Even Salon stated in the story: "The Trump Organization and the Trump family were never involved in any type of illegal activity, and there is no evidence that any of the Trumps had known about Ventura, or the criminal backgrounds of others who were associated with the project, the investigation revealed."

A giant heartbreak for the "I want Trump gone as president"! Better luck next time.

One of the most amazing phenomenons of the Trump Presidency, seems to be many American citizens normalizing and even embracing Putin and the oligarchs.

When the hell did this happen? And, why?

Putin is more dangerous than ever. Look what he and his buddies did to Ukraine, with help from Manafort I might add.

Really?





Whats wrong with all you people? Dont you know the Cold War is over?

Lets be honest...100% honest. In 2012...the democrats ****ed their supporters using THIS rhetoric to attack Romney. Was it right? Was it wrong? They didnt give a ****. It was all about attacking Romney. Now in 2016, the rats used Russia AGAIN as their Baba Yaga to attack Trump and ****ed their supporters...again...and their adoring supporters bought into it as hard in 2016 as they did in 2012.

I'm definitely not searching 15 pages for the link you fail to produce in your debate with me.

If you can't support your arguments, don't make them.

I did support my argument you failure to educate yourself on the discussion that is going on is not my issue but yours.
It is not my job to re-post the same link 50 times because you failed to follow the discussion and or read the discussion.

again that is your issue.
you should probably take your own advice. I made my argument and supported it.
if you do not wish to look it up that is not my problem but yours.

that doesn't mean i didn't do it.
