Critics say money laundering charge would exceed mandate in case against Trump
By Dan Boylan, – The Washington Times
Any move by special counsel Robert Mueller to go beyond collusion and obstruction of justice to probe possible money laundering by President Trump and his family could trigger a major constitutional clash — and present Congress with a massive political headache.
With nearly eight months gone by and some $7 million spent on Mr. Mueller’s Russia probe, speculation is mounting over when, whether and how the former FBI director might attempt to charge President Trump with a crime.
While sources say Mr. Mueller is “obsessed” with examining Mr. Trump’s network of business interests for potential money laundering infractions, there is a raging debate among legal scholars over whether that actually falls within the special counsel’s mandate.
That debate spilled into the open last week, when lawyers for Paul Manafort filed a lawsuit in U.S. federal court directly challenging Mr. Mueller’s legal authority to investigate and indict the former Trump campaign manager on pre-2016 money laundering charges.
The Manafort case could take months if not much longer to wind its way through the courts, and with that as a backdrop, several legal scholars told The Washington Times that any move by Mr. Mueller to pursue the money laundering and Mr. Trump’s personal finances would be on far shakier ground, and end up in the lap of Congress to adjudicate.
Eventually the Obamatoid crusade will be smashed. Mueller is just another member of the gangs that used intelligence agencies to spy against Americans and sabotage the Constitution. We elected the President and must sternly warn the Clinton – Obama elements to back off.
President Trump and PM Netanyahu face similar challenges, which, in turn, inspire many living under totalitarianism about the blessings of democracy.
“When a citizen sees one of the most senior figures [in his country] brought to jail, he can wave his finger at the world and say, ‘We have justice here!'”
