sounds like tax evasion/money laundering/failure to fill out papers.

so what does this mean for the investigation in Trump/Russia collusion to steal the election?

awaiting the word from qualified lawyers here.

There are connections to Russians trying to influence the election in the indictments (see my recent posts).

I would guess that these are the first, and easiest, chips to fall and that the Feds may be trying to leverage the indictments for information on charges they want to file but need a few more pieces of the puzzle for.

This is definitely closer to the beginning, not the end, of this investigation.

On a side note, I told y'all there would be financial crimes.
