SUSAN RICE IS GOING DOWN
IF you haven't seen this bit.
I suspected there was an army of people out there that would start combing through Trump's old transactions. I was right about that.

“There are still a lot of mysteries to solve, and I intend to solve them,” Andersen wrote in his newsletter earlier this month, boasting that he had been in touch with a reporter who plans to draw from his work soon.
This may sound like the pointless industry of conspiracy theorists, but some legal experts, and history itself, suggest they could make a difference. Among the 15,000 pieces of mail and 6,000 telegrams the Watergate special prosecutor received during his first year on the job, according an official report, an average of three or four “substantial allegations” each month merited a deeper look.
“Sometimes they do pan out,” said Nick Akerman, a former assistant Watergate prosecutor who recalled how tipsters helped connect him to important Nixon White House sources. “Some are absolute crackpots, no matter how you cut it.”
White-collar defense attorney William Jeffress said he tried to ignore the unsolicited suggestions that clogged up his email inbox when he was representing I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, a top aide to Vice President Cheney, during the federal investigation into the leak of CIA agent Valerie Plame’s iden y. But Jeffress said he found that amateur bloggers and researchers sometimes turned up important data points that reporters and Washington insiders had missed.
“You’d be amazed how much information the people who spend a lot of time can dig out,” he said.
Several of the Trump researchers interviewed for this story said they take pains to root their work in verifiable fact and avoid building audiences with over-the-top conspiracy mongering like the work of Louise Mensch, a former British parliamentarian turned anti-Trump blogger who has made unfounded claims that a sealed indictment has been granted against Trump and that former White House adviser Steve Bannon may face the death penalty for treason. Their main goal is to expose actionable information for the media or even for federal investigators.
Good luck to them. I certainly think the financial angle has more traction than treason.
I have no doubt there are some skeletons out there.
Personally though I think the more recent stuff since the financial crisis is going to be the biggest scandals are going to be found. Russian mafia and a lot of criminal gangs stepped into the liquidity void left by big banks.
The older stuff may yield something as well. Given Trumps willingness to do anything for a buck, the odds are 1:1 he has done something illegal, even if minor.
Lobbyist at Trump Campaign Meeting Has a Web of Russian Connections
Mr. Akhmetshin, who is under scrutiny by the special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, has much deeper ties to the Russian government and Kremlin-backed oligarchs than previously known.
He has an
association with a former deputy head of a Russian spy service, the F.S.B., and
a history of working for close allies of President Vladimir V. Putin.
Twice, he has worked on legal battles for Russian tycoons whose opponents suffered sophisticated hacking attacks, arousing allegations of computer espionage.
He helped federal prosecutors bring corruption charges against an American businessman in the former Soviet Union who turned out to be working for the C.I.A.
He also helped expose possible corruption in government contracting that complicated American efforts to keep troops at an air base in Kyrgyzstan — an American presence that the Russians fiercely opposed.
American counterintelligence agents took notice of his activities, but drew no conclusions about where his allegiances lay, according to a former law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity, citing government secrecy rules.
Mr. Akhmetshin’s meeting with Trump campaign officials is of keen interest to Mr. Mueller, who is investigating the Kremlin’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 election. Of all the visitors who attended the June 2016 session at the Trump Tower, he appears to have the most direct ties to Russian intelligence.
The session was arranged by a Russian businessman close to Mr. Putin whose emissary promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton as “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”
