HERE COMES THE JUDGE

It’s a relief to be able to report some good news for a change, even if the “news” is partly speculative at this point.  A citizen journalist named Claude Taylor, who was on Bill Clinton’s White House staff, and thus might plausibly have cultivated some sources in Washington DC, has said on Twitter that at least two federal grand juries are actively investigating Donald Trump and his associates.  FBI Director James Comey essentially confirmed this report in Congressional testimony yesterday.  In addition, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is reportedly pursuing investigations of his own, since a lot of the financial activity in question took place in his jurisdiction.

Estimates of the number of individuals under investigation range from 28 to 42.  Potential charges include money laundering (Russian mob money passing through Trump businesses), failure to register as an agent of a foreign government, failure to report income, violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (bribery), perjury, and the ever-popular collusion with Russian efforts to interfere with the election.

Crime does not pay, kids.  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – these guys aren’t nearly as smart as they think they are, and quite a few of them are going down.
