Not to put too fine a point on it

Susie Madrak wants to make sure something does not get lost in the latest New York Times Trump tax revelations: “Trump’s not a ‘failed businessman.’ … He’s a crook.” And a money launderer, she writes at Crooks and Liars:

This is not news. He was fined $10 million for “significant and long-standing” anti-money laundering violations at the Trump Taj Mahal casino.

Then there’s the dirty Russian money in Trump Tower.

His business partners are crooks, too.

Suspicious activity was noted by Deutsche Bank in Trump and Kushner accounts. Deutsche Bank, which had its own money laundering problems!

And these are just the scandals we know about, because Bob Mueller NEVER LOOKED AT HIS FINANCES.

The delicious irony is that if Trump had just handed over the returns in February 2019 this would be baked-in old news by now but instead there will be a steady drip of embarrassing stories the month before the election

And so’s yer old lady! Um, young lady. Ivanka is on the hot seat too. And daddy cannot pardon her for state crimes.

I’m no Maddow, James, but I’ll be posting a YouTube video today from the perspective of a career prosecutor, unraveling the information and implications of what we learned from the NYT’s reporting. And it ain’t pretty. https://t.co/6YCSFworXq

The law is coming.

One can only hope there is any rule of law left by January 20th.
