FBI Has Obtained Wiretaps of Russian Mob Boss - Who Met with Trump Jr

Torshin is allegedly a godfather within the Russian Mafia, Taganskaya. The Spanish have had an arrest warrant on him for years for allegedly laundering money through Spain.

What specifically about these tapes is incriminating that the Dems in the forum are celebrating so?

No collusion!!
Hillary!!
Plutonium one!!

I’m speculating nothing good. Two Russian Mafia money launderers are speaking with each other, and the Spanish Investigator who spearheads organized crime says Jr “should be concerned”. My thoughts? Either Jr got involved in some illegal activity with the Russian Mafia. Or the Russian Mafia used Jr for some illegal activity. We will see what happens.

Well, yes. It is all speculation based on “I would be concerned”. Not the degree of celebrating in some of thise posts. Its one more “we got him now” moment.
And Yahoo didn’t bother to ask why he thought Don Jr should be concerned?

DougBH:

You know the answer to that would be no comment due to an ongoing investigation.

He had already made a comment.

The thing is, “I would be concerned” is about as meaningful and informative as pointing to your nose so as to indicate “we know” or something. People are reading into it what they want to be in it.

Good thing there’s an investigation looking into it isn’t it?

As I said a number of times I don’t know where this investigation is headed it’s a possibility that Trump could be completely clean.

Bottom line there’s enough there to warrant an investigation. But if I was a betting man I wouldn’t bet against the FBI or the DOJ.

So Banker now = Mob Boss. Interesting.

What’s the Truth About the NRA’s Man in Moscow?

Russian politician and Putin ally Alexander Torshin is wanted as a mobster money launderer in Spain. Is his Trump connection as sinister as it sounds?

Good. Let’s get to the bottom of this.

The fact that the FBI have had these tapes for months is yet another example of how leak free the Mueller investigation truly is. It’s fascinsting, if not frustrating because of a selfish desire to know more, of just how tight of a ship he is running.

Snow96 · 2018-05-26T13:45:44.102Z

So wait:

Asked if he was concerned about Torshin’s meetings with Donald Trump Jr. and other American political figures, Grinda replied: “Mr. Trump’s son should be concerned.”

Only Jr should be concorner and NOT all the otehr American political figures he had meetings with???

i get that Trump supporters get on here every day and attack anything that shines a bad light on him. he’s a weird dude and he needs protecting.

i honestly don’t see how they sleep at night though. he’s been dirty his entire career and a bulldog investigator is investigating him and tracing leads all over the world (like to mob bosses in other countries in this case). my guess is they all dread the day that Mueller finishes and reports.

they are probably praying that he didn’t find the really bad stuff.

“Conservatives” (I put it in quotes because I do not consider Trumpers to be conservatives at all) are emotional people they do not reason with logic but rather with emotion.

It is not about how or why but rather what it “should be”, they have invested themselves heavily in right wing propaganda and conspiracies.

Donald Trump validates them because he mirrors them, he shares their same thoughts, he is seen as “pure”

These “conservatives” have been waiting for a long time for someone like Trump, someone that would regurgitate what they hear on TV and Radio.

Of course there isn’t anything pure about him and if anything he represents the brain rot of the conservative movement. But to not support Trump means to longer stand by what they have believed in deeply for so long.
