Irangate, or Trump's Giant Vagina

[Elixir]

So... Trump has received money from the billionaire (on a $12k/yr salary) transportation minister of Azerbajan "The Corleones of the Caspian", who in turn got that money by laundering funds from Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Trump should have known that, and if he didn't know, it means he and/or his Company were negligent and subject to nine-digit fines at the least, and probably jail time. If my Company had received one dime from such an entity, I would without doubt be rotting in a cell somewhere.



It's a long and complicated trail that took a while to uncover, but it makes clear the reason Trump is resistant to any real investigation into his "affairs".
YOUR POTUS IS SUPPORTING ISIS AND OTHER TERRORIST GROUPS

Please read. This might not make it "above the fold" for a while, but it should eventually become a YUUUUUGE scandal.

Is that the practice wall?

 

[Keith&Co.]

Actually, that kinda makes sense... Rather than a Wall, Trump could just build a giant hotel along the border.
Seven thousand gyms, eight thousand saunas, casinos every five miles, wonderful rooms with scenic views of the Rio Grande...

....all incomplete, cheap materials, flaking paint... Everyone gets rooms half a mile from each other. They come, they check in, they get disgusted at their treatment and the facilities and they go home.

And every gift shop has a no-returns policy.

Well, I'd say that getting an avalanche of snow in hell will be more likely than getting Don the Con to divulge his tax returns...

What if the House and Senate were both Democrat?

 

[Nice Squirrel]

This is nothing compared to Crooked Hillary Clinton's emails.

What does this have to do with ISIS?

 

[Malintent]

The building of that hotel was done with laundered money from an organization that feeds funds to various terrorist organizations in Iran, especially ISIS.

What does that have to do with Trump?

It's called the Foreign Anti-Corruption Law. It is illegal to do business with a foreign entity that engages in illegal activities (such as money laundering, bribery, forgery, etc..). Ignorance is not a defense to this law. It is solely the business' responsibility to perform due diligence in ensuring all foreign business transactions are done only with ethical, compliant entities.

Trump supported Terrorists by engaging in money laundering with this business entity. Whether he was aware of that or not does not matter at all, according to the law.

Regarding his potential awareness... this business entity is well known internationally to be corrupt.. and has the nickname "The Corleone of the Caspian"

Again, is this coming from the link? All I see are references to the Iranian Revolutionary guard, which are geopolitical enemies of ISIS. Which doesn't mean that this Azeri guy can't do business with both.

 

[Malintent]

yes, it does mean exactly that (US companies cannot do business with that organization, legally), regardless of which laws are being violated (funding terrorism, bribery, forgery, money laundering, etc..).

I'm not here to spoon-feed you, but in short, Trump is (was) making money off the Revolutionary Guard, and helping them launder money, much of which goes to support ISIS.
Read the damn article before asking dumb questions.

What? No, my point is that this Azeri guy may be doing illicit business with both, and that their status as geopolitical enemies doesn't stop him, but I only see claims that he is doing business with a family connected to the Iranian revolutionary guard. Which isn't the same thing as ISIS. Which is what you and the OP claimed.

I have read the article. What is the connection between the Iranian Revolutionary guard and ISIS? Iran is actively *opposing* ISIS. There was no mention of ISIS in the article, unless I missed it.

I'd be in jail if I did what Cheato did. Just leave it at that if you can't comprehend that ISIS and other terrorist groups are supported by the laundered money that Trump helped facilitate.

He's right. Sunni ISIS is an enemy of Shiite Iran. Hezbollah or Hamas might get some of that dirty money, but not ISIS.

Jesus. Listen, man, it's not my fault your are a geopolitical neophyte, and don't understand why someone would be skeptical that money laundered by the IRGC is funding ISIS, because they are mortal fucking enemies which they are currently engaged in war on several fronts in Syria and Iraq. It isn't claimed in your article. I can't find it being claimed in any other article. Are you sure you aren't just mistaken about that, and simply confused ISIS and the IRGC?

 

[funinspace]

Elixir, I think you might want to slow down as I don't get the ISIS connection either. Yeah, this group out of Azerbaijan sounds like they were helping Iran/IRGC launder money, but that is hardly ISIS. Like other have said, they are on opposite sides. And yeah the US considers the IRGC a 'terrorist' supporter, so it would break the law to work with them... Or show the connection to ISIS...

Nope. Could be that ISIS is not one of the many terrorist organizations that IRG sponsors* - does that make you feel a lot better?

-Then again... Iran is supporting ISIS through its funding of Hamas

Jesus. You are quoting The Tower? They are run by the Israel Project, a group whose sole purpose is to spread pro-Israeli (i.e. anti-Iranian) propaganda in the US and Europe. What did you do? Google "ISIS Iran" and hit the first link that supported your position? For fuck's sake, man, you are out of your depth and you made a mistake. Stop digging yourself deeper into a hole. A simple, "You know Juan, you are probably right, I mispoke, and sorry for calling you dumb" would suffice.

With that kind of argument (though pretty much unrelated to your article about Don the Con), practically everyone involved are supporters of ISIS, from the US, SA, Turkey, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, UAE...

All I can tellya is that if you have a Company that sells overseas, it's on you to vet your customers. Right now I'm looking at a contract from Botswana. I don't know jack about Botswana or their government contractors, but if we get that contract I'll know a hell of a lot about them before I ship anything, because in the eyes of the law, ignorance is not an excuse. OTOH, being a corrupt president of a country striving to make it a banana republic, and protected by a republican congress - seems to be an excellent excuse.
