The Russia investigation might actually prove to be among the lesser of the short-fingered vulgarian’s worries in the coming year. Some of this stuff sounds like RICO material:
“If you go at the king,” they say, “you had better not miss.” Best, maybe, to launch multiple arrows at the sucker.

Two years after Donald Trump won the presidency, nearly every organization he has led in the past decade is under investigation.In a related story, it seems as though the UK is looking into goods and properties acquired with dirty money, with a mind to seizing some of these. For example, Zamira Hajiyeva, an unassuming Azerbaijani housewife, has dropped $15 million on a London townhouse, $20 million over the years on trips to Harrod’s, and $13 million on a golf course in Berkshire. Pin money, I suppose. Details here. Know who else owns a golf course in the UK acquired with funds of uncertain provenance?
Trump’s private company is contending with civil suits digging into its business with foreign governments and with looming state inquiries into its tax practices.
Trump’s 2016 campaign is under scrutiny by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, whose investigation into Russian interference has already led to guilty pleas by his campaign chairman and four advisers.
Trump’s inaugural committee has been probed by Mueller for illegal foreign donations, a topic that the incoming House Intelligence Committee chairman plans to further investigate next year.
Trump’s charity is locked in an ongoing suit with New York state, which has accused the foundation of “persistently illegal conduct.”
“If you go at the king,” they say, “you had better not miss.” Best, maybe, to launch multiple arrows at the sucker.
cordially,
