So stopping right there for one second...a "U.S. official" says this as a source? For what reason would this person NOT go on the record? Just ridiculous.
And then this "U.S. official" who we aren't allowed to know his identity because you know...he works for us...basically says that everybody in the country is "corrupt", but this guy Mammadov is the worst of the bunch.
Nice racism there.

And then much further down...if you can keep from falling asleep with the wall of breathless text...we are told that the Mammadov FAMILY (whatever that means in this context): "for years, it has been financially entangled with an Iranian family tied to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps"

So a guy knows a guy who knows a guy who has invested money with a "family" in Iran who is "tied" to Iran's Revolutionary Guard????

Seriously?

And now Trump is in BIG trouble.
I think the media is really, really grasping at every straw they can.

IF that's the kind of thing that causes trouble...then Hillary and Bill would have long ago been in prison with the Clinton Foundation.

EVERYBODY in the Middle East is related to a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who has a family in Iran who know a guy.

I can't take that kind of story with ANY seriousness at all.
I don't think that Bill and Hillary should go to jail either for the shit they pull in the Middle East with their foundation.
