Tell me again how the Obama administration was the most corrupt ever...

Quote:NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump Jr. has a previously undisclosed business relationship with a longtime hunting buddy who helped raise millions of dollars for his father’s 2016 presidential campaign and has had special access to top government officials since the election, records obtained by The Associated Press show.

The president’s oldest son and Texas hedge fund manager Gentry Beach have been involved in business deals together dating back to the mid-2000s and recently formed a company, Future Venture LLC, despite past claims by both men that they were just friends, according to previously unreported court records and other documents obtained by AP.

Beach last year met with top National Security Council officials to push a plan that would curb U.S. sanctions in Venezuela and open up business for U.S. companies in the oil-rich nation.

Ethics experts said their financial entanglements raised questions about whether Beach’s access to government officials and advocacy for policy changes were made possible by the president’s son’s influence — and could also benefit the Trump family’s bottom line.

“This feeds into the same concerns that we’ve had all along: The really fuzzy line between the presidency and the Trumps’ companies,” said Noah Bookbinder, who leads Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a public policy group. “Donald Trump Jr. sort of straddles that line all the time.”

And Ivanka under further scrutiny as well.

Ivanka Trump never cut ties with the Trump Organization. That’s turned into a problem.

SMH

Should we buckle up

Have any of his other "shady" deals actually led to anything other than the usual MSM hype?

I'll save fake news some time and effort, the Trumps have done business with A LOT of people.

These stories are always the same. President Trump (or Don Jr. or Ivanka) once did a deal with this person. Okay? They can never tie anything together (because there is nothing there), but they invite the TDS-infected reader to use their imagination and invent whatever crimes they see fit.

Unless you have uncovered some real corruption, these previous relationships are not newsworthy.

DJT Jr. should be Sec of State. That's where he could REALLY make some bucks under the table.

Tillerson, by all accounts, has surprisingly been one of the few in this administration that has actually done things somewhat above board!

No, not a dime, as she uses Clinton Foundation Funds to fly around the world, stay in the finest hotels, eat at the finest restaurants, rub elbows with more foundation donors, etc etc etc.

Nothing smells at all about it, not a tench of stench.

I don’ recall when we lifted sanctions in Venezuela.

During Trump's term, sanctions against Venezuela have been dramatically increased at various levels.

So the lobbying effort hasn’t worked out so well.

This is a total nothing. Friend and business partner lobbies for something.

In so many words, the lobbying effort to which you refer was a failure of biblical proportions, exceeded only by the failure of the Hillary Clinton for President campaign.

So nothing happened, fascinating.

AP writer Jake Pearson, his twitter feed is all anti Trump junk. They don't even try to hide it anymore.

The AP is fake news, and was fooled by 4chan into reporting that the florida shooter was a member of a white supremacist organization, then refused to retract.
