lol....the entire campaign and white house staff?.......just a remainder, no one has pled guilty to doing anything except telling an investigator that something happened on the 15th instead of the 26th or asking (after the election) that the Russian's not over react to Obama's stupidity.....
Unlike the criminal who takes no risks...
I am sure you do.
It can be a Full Time Job educating the stupid ... but I suggest, why bother educating them, when obviously you can sell them anything for a profit.

And you're done retard:
Wyden's particular focus on the Palm Beach sale is odd.
Another property, a certain penthouse at 15 Central Park West, explains why.
Purchased by former Citigroup CEO Sanford Weill for $43.7 million in 2007, that high rise penthouse in New York City was then sold in late 2011 for $88 million to a Rybolovlev trust.
But does that dramatic increase in valuation indicate Weill's complicity in some money laundering scheme?
No, it does not.
Rather it reflects a familiar Russian oligarch property strategy: their penchant for spending excessive amounts on fixed assets in western nations. These overpriced buys are not a symptom of poor haggling abilities, but of the oligarchs' desire to locate assets abroad in case they are ever forced to flee Russia. In that regard, many oligarchs prefer spending big bucks in order to quickly lock down a property from a seller of name recognition. This, they hope, will insulate them from allegations of money laundering and give them a breaching point into high society.
Of course, even if tens of millions of dollars overpriced, buying a multi-million dollar U.S. property also offers a good prospective return on investment with regards to money laundering: If one is able to avoid judicial scrutiny, the money has moved out of Vladimir Putin's grip and into a western democracy and is now secured. I've seen no evidence implicating Rybolovlev of money laundering, but his consistent willingness to pay double value is certainly interesting.
Nevertheless, London remains the exemplar in offering high living alongside a less skeptical eye towards Russian financial dealings. For the oligarchs, London's match of enjoyable living and government disinterest in such concerns as money laundering has long been the perfect opportunity. While things are slowly beginning to change, London remains a playground of overt and covert Russian influence.
In that sense, the Palm Beach sale seems far too risky if it were intended as some kind of payoff to Trump. If the Russians wanted to help Trump in relation to some kind of illegal payment activity, they would almost certainly have done so abroad — out of the close gazing eye of U.S. law enforcement.

There’s a reason Trump is a billionaire and you’re not lol.

Half the posters prove that. They make excuses for Hillary not being sent to prison, but they want Trump impeached and jailed for a nothing burger.
Yeah, it is because Trump inherited $240 million from his father and a nearly 50 year old real estate development company from his mother.
Besides that he likely isn't a billionaire,
He lost most of his best properties in multiple bankruptcies and hasn't released a tax return in 13 years.
The difference between Hillary's quid pro quo actions and Trump's selling of a property are manifold, but the most glaring that we can see is that HillBillary accepted money and gave the Russians access to our nuclear material, while Trump sold something he owned to somebody and didn't give 20% of our uranium to Russia.

New construction is far worse than existing homes generally.
