If Whitewater was fair game, then Trump's old finances are certainly fair game.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]At CPAC yesterday, Trump claimed Democrats investigating his "deals" before he assumed office was "sick." Yet Republicans spent years investigating the Clinton's' involvement in the failed 1979 Whitewater real estate deal, once Bill Clinton assumed office in 1992, making it one of the biggest political controversies of the 1990s. [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]It began with an investigation into the real estate investments of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their associates, Jim McDougal and Susan McDougal, in the Whitewater Development Corporation. While Special Counsel Kenneth Starr failed to find criminality by the Clinton's in that deal, he did eventually dig up other dirt in the course of that investigation, namely Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky that he denied in a deposition, which Republicans used to impeach Clinton. [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Whitewater failed business venture was incorporated in 1979 with the purpose of developing vacation properties on land along the White River near Flippin, Arkansas. The Clinton's lost between $37,000 and $69,000 on their Whitewater investment. Trump, on the other hand, has made hundreds of millions of dollars in shady deals with Russians, our biggest geopolitical adversary. [/FONT]

Any time Republicans claim investigation of Trump's old finances is off limits, we need to remind them of what they did with Whitewater.

On Edit: On AM Joy today, Seema Iyer, former prosecutor and defense attorney, noted that n 2017, the NY Times published a a secret memo by Kenneth Starr's attorneys finding that sitting presidents CAN be indicted for crimes committed before taking office. Something else to throw back in Republicans' face!

Had the con man or his handlers looked beyond their fox news/russia bubble they would have realized this would happen..... There was almost no way I can see that it would not given the history of precedents being investigated....

Him being ignorant of this & many other facts is hardly a surprise.. He probably passed on those briefings during the campaign & took exec time till noon laying in bed watching cartoons.....:dunno:

there was a crime there, a bogus bailout. stealing.
Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan Association was a savings and loan association based in Little Rock, Arkansas. The company operated from 1979 until 1989 when it was shut down by federal regulators as a result of bank failure, leading to a loss of $60 million for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Beginning in 1982, the bank was owned and managed by Jim McDougal, a friend of Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. On March 8, 1992, during the United States presidential election, 1992the bank was the s…

As usual you cannot handle the simple, clear and obvious facts. You do not know what Mueller has found out. The house does not know. The Senate does not know. He has not released his report. That report will tell Barr what he has found. No leaks. Nothing out. It is not that I do not like it. It is that you cannot understand there is no Mueller report. Therefore you cannot keep saying what he did, or did not find. There will be one when he is done. Until then, you are wrong when you make ridiculous claims about what he has found.

There was no Clinton crime. I gave what the court found and it was personal crimes like tax evasion and illegal loans that had nothing to do with Whitewater.
No Mueller is not a witch hunt. There are already 6 Truimpies in jail. Can you understand they committed real crimes? There are another 30 indicted. see, real crimes. Crimes they pleaded guilty to and are in jail for. Cohen, going to jail. More likely on the way. That is a lot of fucking witches, and more to come.
This is not a hard call. Whitewater was a joke and the first Repub attempt to cripple the Clintons.They only had about 12 house investigation on Hillary. Is she in jail? Did she get charged after using mega millions of tax payer dollars for their own political advantages? Of course not. They made all that crap up and smeared her for years. McCarthy said the aim was to cripple her polling numbers and he was happy because it was working.

I've mentioned this and yes, it's true. "Special prosecutor" has been replaced by "special counsel". *handjob*
If you're president and had complex business dealings before being elected, be prepared to be investigated. It's part of the show now.
