He didn't need his kids to launder dark money. I'll show you one way he laundered massive amounts of money. This is public knowledge, I didn't even have to go to court to get it. All anyone has to do is 'follow the money', it always leaves a trail behind.

Russian elite invested nearly $100 million in Trump buildings

A Reuters review found that at least 63 individuals with Russian passports or addresses have bought at least $98.4 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded luxury towers in southern Florida.

MIAMI/MOSCOW – During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald J. Trump downplayed his business ties with Russia. And since taking office as president, he has been even more emphatic.

“I can tell you, speaking for myself, I own nothing in Russia,” President Trump said at a news conference last month. “I have no loans in Russia. I don’t have any deals in Russia.”

But in the United States, members of the Russian elite have invested in Trump buildings. A Reuters review has found that at least 63 individuals with Russian passports or addresses have bought at least $98.4 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded luxury towers in southern Florida, according to public documents, interviews and corporate records.

Trump has helped launder Russian dark money through one of his six Sunny Isles high rise condo units. Why would he help Russian billionaires to launder their money here in the US? Easy answer, because he gets a big cut of the money and he gets the power of the Kremlin through these oligarchs.

Let me break this down in simpler terms that you'll be able to understand. This is only one small example of how Russian money was filtered down to Trump.

Strange real estate deal raises specter of Putin buying Trump - SFChronicle.com

In July 2008, Donald Trump undertook one of his most infamous transactions. He sold a mansion in Palm Beach for $95 million to Dmitry Rybolovlev, Russian oligarch and billionaire. Trump had purchased it four years earlier for $41.35 million. The sale price was nearly $54 million more than Trump had paid for the property, even though he had made only modest improvements in it.

This was how Trump operated in other projects like Sunny Isles.

Six Trump towers later, kitschy Sunny Isles becomes Moscow-by-the-Sea

(Igor)Fruman, a 53-year-old native of Belarus and owner of what the New Yorker describes as an aptly named nightclub in Odessa, the Mafia Rave, and Parnas, 47, his Ukrainian-born business partner, have been charged with channeling nearly $700,000 in illicit foreign donations to Republican campaigns, including $325,000 to a pro-Trump political action committee. (Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Rick Scott have apparently rid themselves of the pair’s tainted donations.)

Here's how it worked. A Russian wants to get rid of his dirty money that he made in Ukraine or Belarus or somewhere over there by Russia. So they put it in a bank of course, but not just any bank. It must be a bank that looks the other way as far as where large deposits of cash are coming from. So it's either the Bank of Cyprus or Deutsche Bank. They put a large sum of money in the bank and want to use some of that in the US for whatever purposes, like donating to the GOP and the election of Donald Trump.

They purchase a property, since real estate is the simplest way to launder money because nobody checks on those transactions. So they pay $50 million US dollars transferred from Deutsche Bank to Donald Trump who is selling his property that has a value of $20 million, for the amount of $50 million. Trump then pays off his own loan on the property and has a spare $40 million or so to do as he wishes.

Yes, many Democrats like in your message hate the Constitution and declare it irrelevant. It's just whatever YOU want.
 
My tax returns are already online. The IRS has an online server that other software is able to access based on my AGI and other identifying information. I imagine most Americans also already have their tax returns online.

If you meant releasing them publicly, you may want to be more specific.

If Trump has nothing to hide, then why wouldn't he?

Funny. Yep. A nobody in politics. Just like you.:lamo

As far as finance. None of your business. Though I suspect I am much better off than you.:mrgreen:

Why won't you post your tax returns so we know you're not lying? You don't have anything to hide, do you? Releasing tax returns hurts no one so go ahead.
 
For the most part, the Democratic vote can be summarized as "Do as I say exactly opposite as I do."

It matters very little whether the public gets any information about his tax records or not before the Nov election. It simply does not matter. Trump knows with 100% certainly that he can no longer hide behind the Resolute desk, safely immune from criminal prosecution.

What proof do you have that he didn’t know this?
That’s right, you have none.

do you think a congressmen who has never held a job outside of government is going to have a different set of tax records than say a real estate mogul?

i guess for a lot of you that is what you want....career politicians running the country....and maybe that is the way it should be

but if we always do the same thing, we always get the same results....and for the last 30-40 years that isnt such a grand record is it?

so maybe a change was warranted....

You just aren't getting this. No more time left for me to waste on your silliness.

How much money does one need to be considered rich?

OK, not your definition perhaps, but enough money one does not ever have to ask the price of the item. Want a mansion, cost no object. Want a Ferrari, price no object.

So you would post your returns because you have nothing to hide?

OK, post your tax returns.

Absolutely I would. I have nothing to hide. If I ever ran for president, I would make all of my tax returns public.

Post yours first. Then I will tell you if you are better than me or not.:mrgreen:

Everyone knows the President's tax returns - now ordered released by the Supreme Court - will be leaked and become public information. Democrats of course are cheering this defeat of Trump and capitalism. No business person dare run for president again - and probably any other political office - the greatest victory for socialists and fascists in US history. However, Democrats claim there is no harm. Let's find out if they really believe that.

Are you willing to post your current and past tax returns on the Internet?

Every presidential candidate, save Trump, has made their tax returns available to the public for scrutiny. It is done is the spirit of being transparent. Trump, because of his international business dealings, more than anyone, owed the American people his tax returns. He even promised them. Then again Trump is not transparent as he clearly has much to hide.

The voters have a right to know if their President is crook. Though, we all know even with seeing his returns. It would be nice to see just how much of a crook he is..... we will, next year, when he has been driven from office.

IRS is like ISIS when it comes to tax cheats. Trump broke no laws but did submit all disclosures required legally. Blame congress if those are not good enough.

Oh right like ISIS. Do you always default to the absurd in defense of Benedict Donald? He broke no law by not releasing his taxes despite his pledge to do so BEFORE he was elected. Yet another lie that just rolls off the backs of his devoted. pathetic.

I see this going back to court for a long time. If the IRS has the tax return then it is quite obvious everything is in order or they would have came after Trump. This is just another political witch hunt.

Trump must have hired a lot of Democrats into his administration considering all the leaks coming out of it. Do you want a Republican president who hires Democrats that leak top secret information?

Most of the leaks were people left over from the Obama regime.
