Miriam, all of those are legally bound to seek state department approval and
presumably have. The law is still the law, even if you are Donald Trump. All of
the examples you cite such as banking and arms deals are tightly controlled. My
mother's cousin used to be a salesperson for Grumman and would sell to foreign
governments and even mere communications required approval and oversight by the
state department. If Trump did follow that prescribed legal path, it should be
readily documented and available for public scrutiny. Also what dealing fwith
foreign governments has the Clinton foundation had? Please elaborate or
document as I have not heard this.

The fact is that all corporations have business dealings with foreign
governments. The TPP and other trade agreements are our government's way of
assisting American corporations to deal with other governments. Our banks have
business dealings with other governments. Our military contractors sell arms to
other governments like Israel and Saudi Arabia. The Clinton Foundation has had
business dealings with other governments.

However, if Trump did have business dealings directly with the Russian
government (or any foreign government for that matter), without approval from
the state department that is a very serious crime and needs to be taken
seriously for national security Frank

This cold war rhetoric and attempt to connect Trump with Putin by Democrats is
insane and dangerous. One would think he's provided enough negatives to use
against him on his own, without this kind of slander and filth being spread.

Congressional Democrats Call on FBI to Investigate Their Political Adversaries'
Kremlin Ties By Glenn Greenwald, The Intercept
01 September 16
Leading House Democrats on Tuesday sent a letter to FBI Director James Comey,
which they promptly published, asking the agency to investigate whether the
Trump campaign and the Russian government have entered into a joint plot "to
interfere with the U.S. presidential election." Although the House Democrats
say they do not know whether such a conspiracy with Moscow exists, they say
that "serious questions have been raised" - specifically about whether Trump
supporters worked in tandem with Kremlin agents to hack Democratic Party
computer systems, and "about overt and covert actions by Trump campaign
officials on behalf of Russian interests."
As grounds for their suspicions, these top Democrats cite certain associations
between Trump advisers and various Russians, suspicious visits by them to
Moscow, and statements Trump supporters made that are critical of the United
States of America or advocate better relations with Moscow. These statements
and policy views, these top Democrats suggest, demonstrate possible disloyalty
to the United States, which should be investigated.
For instance, "one of Donald Trump's foreign policy advisers, Carter Page,
traveled to Moscow to give a speech that was harshly critical of the United
States and its 'hypocritical focus on ideas such as democratization,
inequality, corruption, and regime change.'" The top Democrats also note that
another Trump adviser, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, "traveled to Moscow in
December 2015 and joined Vladimir Putin at the head table during a dinner
honoring the Kremlin-backed media network RT," and then "gave a speech that was
highly critical of the United States" (the House Democrats do not mention that
Gen. Flynn was appointed by President Obama in 2012 to head the Defense
Intelligence Agency, and they are cryptic about whether they believe the
general is a full-scale Russian operative or merely an unwitting Useful Idiot).
This letter was clearly part of a coordinated plan by Democrats to call for an
FBI investigation into their domestic political adversaries for possible Russia
links. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid sent a similar letter to Comey
yesterday asking him to investigate "evidence of a direct connection between
the Russian government and Donald Trump's presidential campaign."
Reid explicitly harkened back to the era of American politics when this type of
rhetoric was common, saying that "the prospect of a hostile government [Russia]
seeking to undermine our free and fair elections represents one of the gravest
threats to our democracy since the Cold War."
The calls by congressional Democrats for an FBI investigation into possible
Moscow-engineered subversiveness on American soil come as various Clinton
supporters are calling for increased confrontation with Russia. President
Obama's former Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul yesterday said "the Obama
administration will need to respond" if Russians were involved in hacking state
election centers, while the managing editor of a popular liberal blog announced
that once the election is over, "let's kick some ass on that front" - meaning
Russia. Meanwhile, Democratic pundits are increasingly signaling to Americans
that they should distrust the legitimacy and reliability of their democratic
elections if Hillary loses because it will likely mean that Putin manipulated
the votes by hacking to help Trump.
While possible Kremlin allegiances on American soil are certainly a major
source of concern - that goes without saying for all Patriotic Americans - it's
unclear why congressional Democrats are seemingly abdicating their solemn
duties by failing to conduct their own investigation. It's true that the FBI
has an extensive and well-known history of conducting aggressive investigations
into suspicions that American citizens are covertly working in tandem with
Moscow (indeed, the longtime director after whom the FBI's headquarters is
named pioneered many new investigative techniques in the course of doing so,
and when publishing their letter, these leading House Democrats notably
featured a picture showing his honored name on the front of the FBI building).
But the U.S. Congress also has its own tradition of investigating un-American
activities on the part of U.S. citizens. It's mystifying, and more than a
little disturbing (perhaps itself a bit suspicious), why these leading
congressional Democrats would not avail themselves of this investigative
template in order to uncover the latest domestic plots led by the Russians as a
means of subverting American democracy.
