Before Putin’s Puppet was even sworn in as Resident (He never was, is not, and never will be President). I wrote about the obscene amounts of money being raised for his inauguration celebration. I remember discussing how cheap the actual inaugural was. The crowd was nonexistent, the celebrities were unknowns, and except for billionaires only parties, the venues were cheap. I wondered where all that money came from, what it bought in quid pro quo, and what happened to the millions that could not have been spent. I’m not the only one.
Federal prosecutors in New York on Monday delivered a sweeping request for documents related to donations and spending by President Trump’s inaugural committee, a sign of a deepening criminal investigation into activities related to the nonprofit organization.
A wide-ranging subpoena served on the inaugural committee Monday seeks an array of documents, including all information related to inaugural donors, vendors, contractors, bank accounts of the inaugural committee and any information related to foreign contributors to the committee, according to a copy reviewed by The Washington Post.
Only U.S. citizens and legal residents can legally donate to a committee established to finance presidential inaugural festivities.
“We have just received a subpoena for documents. While we are still reviewing the subpoena, it is our intention to cooperate with the inquiry,” a spokesman for the committee said in a statement.
The subpoena — issued by the U.S. attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York — indicates that prosecutors are investigating crimes related to conspiracy to defraud the United States, mail fraud, false statements, wire fraud and money laundering… [emphasis added]

Click through. There’s much more to learn there.
Here’s video analysis by Lawrence O’Donnell, Rosilind Helderman, Tim O’Brien and David Cay Johnston.
The Beauty here is that, no matter what Republicans do to Mueller, this will live on. Drip… drip… drip…

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Heard about this, this morning. Wonderful news!! smile!!
Good video. Kudos to Mr. Mueller, his team & SDNY for working on this.
‘The wheels on the bus go round and round….round and round…..
And Sarah Sanders (God, how I wish she had married someone with a different surname!) insists that any corruption on the inaugural committee “has nothing to do with the White House”! Meanwhile, in the House, the GOP is making plans to deny subpoenas of Trump tax returns to house committees, claiming Democrats “just want them in order to leak tham (apparently they don’t realize that implies they contain something worth leaking?), which would be a felony, with one exception. The Ways and Means Committee may legally release them to the public, provided the entire House votes for them to do that before the release occurs. Aw gee!
The three most memorable things about Twitler’s inauguration was his demand that Spicer say it was the largest crowd EVAH! Something easily disproved:
And those empty bleachers:
But the saddest was when he turned to Melania. It pretty much tells the whole story of his life:
Hmmmm… Trump’s crowd is limp, too!
Smile Trump and Trump sycophants and/or opportunists! You’re on candid camera!!! The SDNY is going to make your lives a living hell!
Play with a loaded gun and you will get the bullet! Or play with a knife and you will get the point!
Woohoo! ?
The anticipation for some good old fashioned schadenfreude grows!
Lately the irony is literally dripping from the screen when Lawrence O’Donnell or any of his guests are commenting on yet another investigation into those surrounding Drumpf, but where the intent clearly is to get at the Drumpf gang itself.
Mueller should get a statue for the brilliant ways he’s consolidating all these investigations, making sure that all findings are safe from Republicans. There’s probably so much out there in the courts already, that firing him will change nothing except adding another obstruction of justice to the pile. Drumpf and the GOP have missed their window of opportunity, if ever there was one, and some GOP leaders may now be seriously contemplating their actions before Mueller’s net closes in on them too.
A pity it takes so darn long, though. We want to see this:
Thank you Mr. Mueller and SDNY.
Wow….talk about the truth coming out???
More ammunition to use against tRump and his cronies.
I pray that the day is getting closer to where he is dragged out of office with all the other evil doers too.
They all do look good in Orange jumpsuits.
Then hopefully our country will get back to somewhat a better shape/state of mind that it’s currently in.
Thanks and busy hugs to all. Love the graphics
