    Democrats launching ‘aggressive new focus’ investigating Steve Mnunchin’s role in Russia scandals

    Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin will be in the hot seat on Capitol Hill on Thursday as Congressional Democrats investigate President Donald Trump’s relationship with Russia.

    Mnuchin’s classified briefing is “the start of an aggressive new focus on Mnuchin by newly empowered House Democrats,” NBC News
    reported Wednesday.


    At focus in the closed-door hearing is

    Mnuchin’s decision to ease sanctions on companies aligned with Oleg Deripaska.

    Deripaska is a Russian oligarch with close ties to Vladimir Putin and former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort.

    In 2016, Mnuchin was Trump’s national finance chair.

    this is greg jarrett

    On August 3, 2017, Jarrett called for a grand jury for Hillary Clinton over her email controversy. A day later, when a grand jury was impaneled by special counsel Robert Mueller in the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, Jarrett said that grand juries were an "undemocratic farce".

    But are they any good?

    Panicked White House Just
    Hired 17 More Lawyers As Mueller Closes In On Trump

    “A beefed-up White House legal team is gearing up

    to prevent President Trump’s confidential discussions with top advisers

    from being disclosed to House Democratic investigators and

    revealed in the special counsel’s long-awaited report,

    setting the stage for a potential clash between the branches of government.”

    Manafort’s conspiracy with Russia is ‘the beating heart’ of special counsel investigations: Atlantic writer

    The latest legal filings in the criminal cases against former Donald Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort have shown

    there was collusion with Russia during the 2016 campaign,

    “I think it’s a big deal, but I think it’s maybe more suggestive of what the broader narrative is than conclusive on its own,”

    “So in effect, yes, this is collusion,” he concluded.

    “But I think we don’t even know the scope and broadest contours of that collusion yet.”


    “I think there’s [a] really good reason to think that the scandal has several beating hearts it looks like, but

    one of the beating hearts of the scandal has obviously always been Paul Manafort,”

    Fox News’ Shep Smith and Judge Napolitano just

    admitted that the Trump campaign did indeed “collude” with the Russians.

    This is a massive concession and does not bode well for Trump.

    Certainly Fox & Friends will develop this further

    He is he is a subject of 17 criminal investigations in which his personal lawyer is preparing to testify in public about his crimes. His organization getting shut down while all of his businesses are under scrutiny and subject to asset forfeiture.

    But none of these things are Hillary lol

    That's exaggeration, djohn.

    Not all the 17 actions are criminal. By my casual count DJT is a possible target in 2 criminal investigations (one of which is pretty much speculative: obstruction of justice) and 2 lawsuits. In another he's an unindicted co-conspirator. (payoffs to girlfriends)

    Sorry Mueller isn’t just investigating obstruction of justice. collusion is not a legal term but conspiracy is. And Trump is a subject there.

    so 3. Conspiracy to defraud the US

    4. Trump inaugural committee under criminal investigation

    5. Trump foundation under investigation in the State of New York

    The Cohen filing also said there were Two undisclosed investigations into Trump so add those two more.

    thanks for agreeing that you goofed. the number isn't seventeen criminal cases. not even close.

    and it probably isn't as many as you claim.

    3,4 and 6 aren't certain.
