@#1 ... Is money laundering an official act? ...

Oh, it is not money laundering. Nor is it accepting a bribe.

If the POTUS makes a foreign policy decision favorable to a country, and as a result of that decision the country gives POTUS diamonds. All is good. Foreign Policy is an official act of POTUS.

It is both. SCOTUS just said those things are OK if POTUS does it, just not anyone else.

All those diamond mines in Saudi Arabia.

You do the math.

Did he take the diamonds before or after the quid pro quo?

Because in America if he takes the bribe after then it's just a tip. Or "gratuity". According to our Supremes.

Son-in-Law, Kushner, is now building a Trump Tower in Saudi Arabia.

Donald Trump and Bolsonaro are BFF's.

Bolsonaro hid out at Mar-a-Lago to avoid getting arrested in Brazil.

Kushner and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman are BFF's

Probably not connected to Bolsonaro's stash but with Trump, where there's smoke there's usually a bonfire.

Let's wait and see if Trump Org becomes a registered company in Saudi Arabia and daughter Ivanka becomes the CEO of a subsidiary, Trump Management Company.

When the Manhattan D.A. started clamping down on Trump's business license,I always assumed that in order for Trump to continue doing business as the CEO of Trump Org, his only resource was to register the business in a foreign country.

Thes this story about Kushner building a Trump Tower in Saudi Arabia sort of made the pieces start to fit together.

Plus, once shunned by New York banks, Trump can always be trusted to go where the money is.
