    That’s a fair point, although I do wonder whether state actors – ie. Russia – could have ways of getting around that. It’s not like the transaction has to be directly to Trump, but to some front organization and of course laundered in some way

      Like I said, if he could get away with a shady deal here, he would. If you gonna pick cynicism as a worldview, gotta commit fully. I think there is nothing he wouldn’t do if he thought it was even possible for him to get away with it. The fact he hasn’t already dome something like that tells me he knows its not possible.
