The Swedbank AB money laundering scandal widened as Swedens main broadcaster published a report alleging the bank misled U.S. authorities.
Former Trump campaign chairman and convicted felon Paul Manafort was among those to have received suspicious payments made through the Stockholm-based lender, the SVT network reported on Wednesday, amid intensifying scrutiny of Russian cash that passed through the banks Estonian unit.

"In a separate report on Tuesday, SVT said transactions by Swedbanks non-resident high-risk customers in Estonia amounted to between 10 billion euros and 20 billion euros each year in 2010 to 2016."

Mueller didn't find criminal conspiracy. Mueller never interviewed Trump to ascertain Trump's criminal intent.
Criminal conspiracy has a high bar, of course there was collusion.

Mueller was just baiting the AG into showing his true Allegiance is the AG committed to the Constitution, the rule of law or to Dipshit?
