Then that would still mean he lied to the judge.
I'm aware of that, but I still think he was pressured.
adds words to the definition and accuses me of arguing semantics
perjury requires being under oath. that's a major distinction

IF TRUMP IS LAUNDERING RUSSIAN MONEY, HERE’S HOW IT WORKS
FOR DONALD TRUMP, there was the purchase of the $12.6 million Scottish estate and the $79.7 million for golf courses in the United Kingdom, not to mention the $16.2 million for the Northern Virginia Winery. All in cash.
For Michael Cohen, it was the lucrative day in 2014 when he sold four Manhattan buildings for $32 million—three times what he’d paid for them less than three years before.
The subtext of many of the recent tales—from Donald Trump’s massive cash-spending spree to Cohen’s $32 million flip of New York real estate—is that the atypical transactions are worthy of greater scrutiny.
After all,
why was the self-proclaimed “King of Debt” suddenly waist-deep in cash and on a spending spree in the midst of the global real estate crash?
Where was Cohen’s money coming from—and where was it going?
"Many of the activities, when viewed in aggregate, point to a deliberate attempt to create opacity,”
“When you take two steps back, you see a murkiness and level of complexity with which the Cohen and Trump companies have operated—
what are they hiding?
Why are secondary and tertiary en ies signing under pseudonyms and ‘cover' names?
Truly legitimate, transparent companies don’t need to do that.
Does this point to corruption and/or conspiracy?
It certainly looks that way!
Are all activities pointing to specific money laundering transactions? Not necessarily.”
the pattern of activity points to an attempt to evade one of the basic precepts of modern banking and anti-money-laundering efforts:
Know your customer.
“What we call ‘covered ins utions,’ that’s any financial ins ution overseen by US financial regulations,
they have to have a comprehensive anti-money-laundering regime.
It basically come down to one central question:
Do you know your customer?
Who’s behind the account,
who has control over an en y or can facilitate transactions on its behalf,
what are its sources of funds, and
what is the normal, expected nature of its business or pattern of activity for that person or en y?"
“Financial ins utions are mandated to collect all this data on its customers, but up until now, financial ins utions have not had to do the same for companies,”
“Donald Trump owns a helicopter in Scotland.
To be more precise,
he has a revocable trust that owns 99 percent of a Delaware limited liability company
that owns 99 percent of another Delaware LLC
that owns a Scottish limited company
that owns another Scottish company
that owns the 26-year-old Sikorsky S-76B helicopter,
emblazoned with a red ‘TRUMP’ on the side of its fuselage.”
All told, the Journal reported, 15 en ies were used at that point to “own” Trump’s fleet of two airplanes and three helicopters.
Layer on layer of corporate structure makes it hard for investigators, tax officials, or prying lawyers to figure out who owns what,
A Section 311 designation was meant to help authorities highlight su ious patterns of activity without having to prove any single transaction was illegal—it’s the rough equivalent for money laundering of the criminal RICO statute,
“We deliberately put these tools together to go after really bad people—organized crime, terrorists, dictators, Chinese Triads,”
if what we have seen with Michael Cohen’s business dealings existed anywhere overseas,
where it intersected with an investigation or a politically exposed person or national security issue of import to the US,
it would ring all sorts of alarm bells at Treasury.but Treasury is run by a Repug who "forgot" to declare he had $100M offshore!
What seems to be continually revealed is a pattern of atypical financial transactions, and
too much of it seems structured specifically to hide and evade critical information or people involved.
Money laundering is a huge—literally physically huge—problem:
Illicit drug sales in the United States alone are estimated at around $60 billion to $100 billion a year, which translates, Cassara says, into about
20 million physical pounds of currency, far too much to be moved easily or spent easily.
“The bad guys have a logistics issue. They want to try to get into a bank or nonbank financial ins ution, so they can spend it,”
Manafort’s scheme—which Mueller’s team says involved more than $18 million, funneled through en ies that included oriental rug shops just a few miles from the Treasury Department itself—ran undetected and unprosecuted for so long.
money launderers have to be incredibly stupid or incredibly unlucky to be caught.
“Since 9/11, the amount of financial intelligence has grown exponentially, so bad guys are taking steps to evade those efforts,”
what’s the point of buying, say, $934,350 in oriental rugs(as Manafort is alleged to have done)
Step 1: Placement
Step 2: Layering
Step 3: Integration
That so many of the transactions and behaviors of the Trump business empire and Michael Cohen’s empire appear to hew so closely to the well-known patterns and stages of money laundering deeply troubles Sharma.
“It falls into fact patterns that we’ve seen in other areas of Russian and Eastern European organized crime,” he says.
“We’re staring at a government—that goes right to the top—that engages in very way of doing business and the exact same fact patterns that we set these tools up to combat.
That’s mind-boggling to me.”

yall s cling to that makes no ing sense whatsoever and is almost as comical as amy fat schumer.
poor little short round.
The rabbit hole goes so deep

Like Hillary eating dead babies deep?
You cant blackmail people into a confession, dude. Least of all cops.
Everything is do ented and the evidence has to be there to charge someone.

Kind of like Cohen never paying a or receiving millions from Russian oligarchs, right Chris?
The onus is on the Mueller team to prove they did do work from them and I would wager they have the proof.
No, it's not like that at all.
They don't have anything or you would have heard about it by now.The onus is on the Mueller team to prove they did do work from them and I would wager they have the proof.
Yes, it's exactly like that. You do realize that this is what the opposition claims right? Mueller's job is to prove otherwise.No, it's not like that at all.
They don't have anything or you would have heard about it by now.
The lawyer defending the Russians isn't going to admit to wrongdoing.
Nah.
You do realize that this is what the opposition claims right?
He can't or he wouldn't have attempted to stall the case.Mueller's job is to prove otherwise.
The Russians weren't even supposed to show up. Pretty sure the lawyers feel they have an open and shut case. Mueller = edThe lawyer defending the Russians isn't going to admit to wrongdoing.
His math is terrible too.
yeah... mueller tried to delay the arraignment because he said Concord hadn't been properly served yet.
This snapshot shows the lawyer confirming that Concord hasn't been properly served yet
Then they checked the facts against Flynn's story and found out he did lie.
People believe stupid things every day. You should know better than anyone, flat earther.
Never said such. You just said a stupid thing. Congratulations.
White Chris with the white flag, won't even defend the tweet he posted.
This probably works better on Twitter where there's no one watching to call you out on how stupid you are, Citizen X. Maybe stick to that.
