Is Mueller hunting for Russians with BAGS of cash going into the GOP?

On Friday, the Treasury Department targeted some of those same oligarchs for a new round of sanctions, along with a number of other Russian government officials and entities — including the state weapons exporter. And here was the description Treasury gave of the conduct of one targeted Russian, gold baron Suleiman Kerimov:

"He is alleged to have brought hundreds of millions of euros into France — transporting as much as 20 million euros at a time in suitcases, in addition to conducting more conventional funds transfers — without reporting the money to French tax authorities."

That pattern of conduct, and the nature of the interdictions described by Scannell and Prokupecz, raise questions about how long this smuggling of cash might have gone on. The CNN story suggests investigators want to know whether the money might have gone into Trump's inauguration accounts — and whether it continues to this day.

Either way, their story suggests that one way Russia might have injected money into the American political system for the 2016 election and beyond was not via traceable and accountable electronic transfers, but through the old-fashioned delivery of cold hard cash.

1. Funny how is has taken CNN so long to

figure that out. Well,should have guessed,they only gave Trump a Billion plus in free Promotional in kind Ads.

Think the majority of the Country knew this answer or were aware of the answer.

3. I want to know how that many millions of euros got into Russia?

He carried them in in suitcases?
Did he have a mountain of Vuitton trunks?

4. We are naive to think that transfers of billions (thousand millions) of currency

can't happen outside of normal scrutiny.

S.W.I.F.T. and other financial tracking organizations are only as good as the organizations that voluntarily report. And voluntarily report ALL transactions. UBS, Credit-Suisse, Chase, and others have all shown themselves willing to engage in off-the-books transactions to benefit customers, officers, and in the end - CEOs. Complicity.
