The name Sergei Millian may not ring a bell with most of us following the Russiagate enterprise, but it's certain Special Counsel Mueller, the Southern District of New York, and House investigators know he's someone that could have the goods on the Trump Organization's dealings with Russian moguls tied to thug Vladimir Putin. He also appears to have been one of the sources for the Steele Dossier, which has been proven over time to be almost entirely accurate. The Washington Post reports:
On Facebook and in literature for his Russian chamber of commerce, [Millian] posted a photo of himself with Trump, snapped at a horse track in Miami in 2007 after he said 'mutual associates' introduced them. It is unclear whether they met on any other occasion."Russians by the dozens" were clearly laundering money out of Russia, using Trump properties to hide it, with the knowledge of Trump's fixer and the Trump Organization. Trump's reliance on Russian money after U.S. banks shut their doors to him is a fact. If you think Trump was unaware of millions of dollars flowing into his properties from Russia, and that he didn't want that money desperately, you may want to stay away from mechanical objects. Indeed, in 2008, greasy Don Jr. told a business conference that "Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets." From the horse's ass' mouth.
But in April 2016, Millian gave the Russian state-operated news organization RIA Novosti an eyebrow-raising interview. He claimed that after meeting Trump in Miami he went to New York and met Trump’s 'right-hand man' — his personal lawyer Michael Cohen — and then signed a contract to sell Trump units in Florida.
'You can say that I was their exclusive broker,' he said, speaking in Russian. 'Back then, in 2007-2008, Russians by the dozens were buying apartments in Trump’s buildings in the USA.'
Asked in the Russian interview how often he spoke to Trump or his associates, Millian responded: 'The last time was several days ago.'" (our emphasis)
The investigations will provide hard evidence suitable for solid fraud, money laundering, and criminal conspiracy charges against Trump family members, associates, and probably Trump himself. Bring it on.

We know just from the experience of his maladministration that Trump pays little or no attention to things he's not interested in or finds boring, which is most of what a president is supposed to, y'know, actually do. OTOH, he pays extremely close attention to those things he is interested in and nothing more than making money, lots of money. So, even if we didn't have Dumbass, Jr.'s admission about relying on Russian money, we know that Trump has been closely involved with the NY-based Russian Mafiya for a really long time (decades) and, by extension with the Soviet Union/Russia as well.
Both Felix Sater and Michael Cohen were closely involved with the Russian Mafiya and they are both singing to the Feds so there's really not much doubt that Trump is in deep up to his eyeballs. That may not result in him being removed from office, which is why he needs to be defeated at the polls and then sent to jail for the rest of his life (along with Dumbass, Jr., Kushner and the rest of the crooks).
Jimbo -- Great points, well done. The thinking is that the Southern District of New York has the book on his dealings with the Russian mafia (and Italian for that matter -- the Colombo family specifically). That's one of the reasons Trump freaked out when Cohen's office was raided; we're sure the terabytes of data that were in Roger Stone's possession will be further evidence of Trump's corruption that should put him away once he leaves office.
