$10 million illegal donation from Egypt to Trump?

Sure looks that way. One can only wonder what other turds are lying buried under rocks or dead bodies. Trump is a dyed-in-the-wool criminal. I hear the statute of limitations has already expired here. Bill Barr needs to be hauled in from of a special prosecutor. Fucker goes way back subverting democracy.

$10M cash withdrawal drove secret probe into whether Trump took money from Egypt

Five days before Donald Trump became president in January 2017, a manager at a bank branch in Cairo received an unusual letter from an organization linked to the Egyptian intelligence service. It asked the bank to “kindly withdraw” nearly $10 million from the organization’s account — all in cash.

Inside the state-run National Bank of Egypt, employees were soon busy placing bundles of $100 bills into two large bags, according to records from the bank. Four men arrived and carried away the bags, which U.S. officials later described in sealed court filings as weighing a combined 200 pounds and containing what was then a sizable share of Egypt’s reserve of U.S. currency.

Federal investigators learned of the withdrawal, which has not been previously reported, early in 2019. The discovery intensified a secret criminal investigation that had begun two years earlier with classified U.S. intelligence indicating that Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi sought to give Trump $10 million to boost his 2016 presidential campaign, a Washington Post investigation has found.

Within months of learning of the withdrawal, prosecutors and FBI agents were blocked by top Justice Department officials from obtaining bank records they believed might hold critical evidence, according to interviews with people familiar with the case as well as documents and contemporaneous notes of the investigation. The case ground to a halt by the fall of 2019 as Trump’s then-attorney general, William P. Barr, raised doubts about whether there was sufficient evidence to continue the probe of Trump.

1. I'm frustrated that his criminal act is beyond the

statute of limitations. I think it should be investigated anyway, so everyone will know he'll accept money from any despot and then give them weapons or remove sanctions against them.
