Shortly before taking office in January, Donald Trump tweeted that he had no business deals involving Russia. That may have been technically true at the moment, but it wasn’t for lack of trying. His decades-long record of attempting (and failing) (http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/07/donald-trump-history-trying-do-business-in-russia/) to launch big real estate deals in Moscow was already in the public record. Yet new revelations Monday showed that when he was running for president in 2015, Trump signed an agreement to develop a Trump Tower in Moscow. And Trump’s partner in this project was a Russian development company that apparently previously obtained financing from Sberbank, a state-owned Russian bank hit with sanctions from the United States and the European Union due to Russia’s annexation of Crimea. This Trump project, though, fell through before any Russian financing was obtained.
According to a Washington Post report (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/top-trump-organization-executive-reached-out-to-putin-aide-for-help-on-business-deal/2017/08/28/095aebac-8c16-11e7-84c0-02cc069f2c37_story.html?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.0eea9bf8c692), Trump signed a letter of intent on October 28, 2015—the same day he participated in a key GOP primary debate (http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/10/republican-debate-boulder-trump-bush-carson-rubio/)—with a Russian firm called IC Expert Investment Company to develop a Trump-branded tower in Moscow. Information on the company is sparse, but a website (http://icexpert.ru/) that appears to be for the company describes it as a developer of an apartment complex in a suburb of Moscow called Reutov. The website lists the company’s development and banking partners, including Sberbank, a Russia banking goliath. A website that appears to be the official site (http://novokosino2.ndv.ru/partners.htm) for the apartment complex, Novoskino-2, notes that Sberbank and Otkritie Bank, a privately-owned Russian bank, provided financing for the project. The apparent IC Expert site also states that another one of its strategic banking partners is Gazprombank, one of the biggest banks in Russia. It owns Gazprom Media, the largest media holding company in Russia.

I think, they're investigating, as they should and, if there's anything incriminating concerning Trump, they'll find it and, that, will be that.
I disagree.

A legitimate investigation should be based on something substantial, like facts and evidence.

This investigation is based on nothing more than rumors, gossip, and partisan hysteria.

Trump would be well within his rights to shut it down.

Now would be a good time as any since the investigation is going nowhere fast, judging by the pathetic and flimsy nature of the leads being touted by Democrat lemmings.

Agreed, up until the point it becomes a witch hunt.

That point was reached 6 months ago.

I give Trump credit though, he is doing a much better job of ignoring the bedwetting cackling idiot hyenas and focusing on more productive things.

All of this is CNN et al spoonfeeding tbeir idiot base to better their ratings.
It's always been a witch hunt. There is absolutely no substantial evidence that would indicate a crime has been committed or that Trump had anything to do with it. All we have are rumors swirling around in Trump-hating newspapers like WAPO and NYT. It's pretty disturbing that the government can just decide to initiate a far-reaching investigation of people absent any semblance of reasonable suspicion or probable cause. This is how things work in banana republics, and Democrats are just fine with it because they are still butt hurt about losing the election.

It's quite clear how come so many on the right go after you personally, even when they constantly try to deflect, you stay the course and still prove them wrong in the process.

The OP has been addressed, Trump had no business in Russia.

Well, I do agree, but, they're going to do it regardless, they, once again, think they're onto yet, another impeachable/jail-able, offense, everything else has fizzled or, is fizzling, so let them spin their wheels, come up with nothing, again and, lose more votes in 2018!

I can only assume that when Republicans are done investigating trump that they will do just that.

But don't blame what they do on Democrats. We are out of power. We started zero investigations.

Establishment Republicans are colluding with Democrats to push this sham of an investigation because they cannot stand the idea of peaceful relations with Russia.

Escalating tensions between two nuclear powers simply because you cannot accept election results is pretty evil, even for the political establishment.

The president doesn't run the fbi, as nixon found out in 1974 and trump is learning now.

Comey? He is a lifelong Republican. None of these investigations were started by democrats.

McCain is not a Democrat.
