By Craig Unger Craig Unger is the author of"House of Trump, House of Putin" and a former contributing editor of Vanity Fair. March 29 at 1:15 PM Collusion or not, President Trump and the Russians are thick as thieves.
Robert S. Mueller III, of course, is a prosecutor. His job as special counsel, now complete, was to decide whether to indict. But what if some of the most egregious and corrupt offenses are not illegal? Russian President Vladimir Putin has long insisted that American democracy itself is corrupt.
And so began a 35-year relationship between Trump and Russian organized crime. Mind you, this was a period during which the disintegration of the Soviet Union had opened a fire-hose-like torrent of hundreds of billions of dollars in flight capital from oligarchs, wealthy apparatchiks and mobsters in Russia and its satellites.
After Trump World Tower opened in 2001, Trump began looking for buyers in Russia through Sotheby’s International Realty, which teamed up with a Russian real estate outfit. “I had contacts in Moscow looking to invest in the United States,” real estate broker Dolly Lenz told USA Today. “They all wanted to meet Donald.” In the end, she said, she sold 65 units to Russians in Trump World Tower alone.
A rare picture of Trump and the Real president of the United States
And Hillary?
Lots more dirty money than clean money these days. Just not aware of it or not interested in acknowledging it.

Because America is filled with Michael Cohens.
How about the Clinton Foundation?
Almost_SCIFI OK, prove it! If we are going to have the Mueller report scrubbed, before Congress can see it, we are relying on journalist to connect the dots. Please do so!
So dirty money, but completely legal. Hard hitting story Wapo.
They just need to replicate that in Youngstown OH
Give me ask the clintons about their dirty money from Russia?
Get over yourselves....publish some of the great things that Pres. Trump has accomplished that you just ignore.... LIKE HISPANICS APPROVE OF TRUMP 50% NO APRIL FOOLS! That spell trouble for Dems on top of all their other issues...lol
The laundering?
So was the Clinton foundation. It was nothing but dirty Russian money. Only instead of interest, the Russians got uranium from their Clinton investment.
I drank a White Russian at the bar the other night,does that mean I am also part of the collusion with my dirty Russian money?
Can I laugh now. The Podesta group is responsible for those laws.
PROPAGANDA ALERT This paper ( all liberal controlled outlets) allowed democrat party & minions to attempt coup in 2016 as in 3rd world Banana Republic-----SILENCE SILENCE SILENCE to this day !
What about dirty Chinese, dirty Iranian, dirty Columbian, dirty Arab. Money? Majority of the foreign money are dirty!
The Washington Post is full of dirty fake news
alwaysnegitivetowarfsPOTUS

Clinton. Ukraine, Russia. Uranium. Obama. 'Vlad' Russia. Report that, you useless packet of bytes.
Now do the Clinton Foundation!
Hmm, money laundering is not legal.
“The scandal is that its legal” is basically the chapter title of this era in American History.
author deserves pulitzer, lol
Who gives a shit? Now do Chinese money, Qatari money, Saudi money. Thanks
Major US companies have business in Russia - Pfizer, Ford, Boeing, Procter&Gamble, McDonald's, GM, Johnson & Johnson, Cargill, Alcoa, and General Electric and developers - but Trump's deal is 'dirty'? BS
Ya!! It's all 'legal'.
What a change in India
JoeG916 Don the Con is compromised.
Go look into Clinton and Obama. Your head will explode.
Since when did money laundering become legal?
Tokhtakhounov is the boss of the Russian mafia in Europe. Follows the sale of Afghan heroin. Deliveries through Russia, Uzbekistan. Litvinenko's scheme for the sale of heroin from the Spanish case. It was this money that Trump laundered.
fake news
About the Clinton
😐
and so...but but whatabout ism runs rampant
Well, then that's on America and Americans. Trump simply found out the way to play the system.
Money laundering is ILLEGAL. TAX EVASION IS ILLEGAL. COME ON SDNY...
Incredible. You’re STILL trying to convince people that Trump is an international criminal despite having the DOJ and FBI just LOOKING for ANYTHING for the past 2 years and coming up empty. Meanwhile HRC sells 20% US Uranium to RUSSIA and pockets $145 million. *SILENCE*
Money laundering is ILLEGAL and should be prosecuted.
So wait... Anyone selling real estate should now be responsible to investigate the perspective buyers past a the legal requirements? Should all sellers be required to hire private investigators and prosecutors? And if the buyer is foriegn should they NOT BE ALLOWED TO BUY?
And Hillary’s isn’t.....right! At least he didn’t leave people to die. What’s the count on Serial Killary and the Clinton crime family But ok, let’s not look in to those with deep investigative journalism. Washington Post fake news...no ne reads your paper anyways. Fake news!
Guys, this narrative is better honestly. Good luck. Thanks for giving us entertainment since 2016.
I worry about the conflict of interest it clearly introduces for Drumpf.
Is this opinion facts or more propaganda?
And you know this how?
Or T-mobile staying at the Trump hotel before the merger. But you guys were on caught up on some nonsense that you missed every single real story that is staring you in the face. Thanks Fake News!
You people just cannot stop. You are a joke
WP IS FAKE NEWS GARBAGE
FakeNews
Wapo is an example of how a media should not be.
It should not be legal-that is nuts.
What a horrifying notion.
What about the magnitsky act?
Now a different tactic to get russia back into picture... Pathetic.
$145 million was 'donated' to the Clinton foundation from russia while she was secretary of state but I guess that's not news worthy 🤣
🤨
I'm starting to think that the Washington post must be invloved with the Clinton crime cartel. To constantly attack the President with blatant lies, you're just drawing more attention to yourself. Something is up
Sooo ready to get into BarackObama Admin- Russian-Chinese Collusion!!⚖️⚖️⚖️
Smdh
I'm more interested in how much dirty Russian money went in, and then came out 'clean.' I think there's a law or two against that. 🧽🧼💰
We should learn from this and require all future POTUS candidates to release their taxes.
what are you doing
The scandal is the WP hatred for President Trump! I guess Crooked Hillary received money from you and now she can't pay you all off so you all are angry about supporting a loser and throwing money down the drain. TRUMP2020 MAGA!🇺🇸😎
Really! Hahahaha. Liberals can’t give it up. Hahahaha
help raise the BolsonaroDay tag on the day of lying because he is a liar.
For a president you hold a standard higher than what's strictly legal. As you should have covering the 2016 campaign or he wouldn't have gotten close enough to steal it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Washington Compost really digging it's heals in on the whole Russia hoax even after they were proven to be lying about it from day one. Just trash.
Don’t mention the Clinton Foundation!
wa po doing the onion.
Ure no different than trump ..
