Chris Murphy: What Motivates Trump ‘First and Foremost Is the Security of His Wallet’

RUSH EXCERPT:
MURPHY: "The question is, why? Why are they so sure that Donald Trump is a safe bet? And what you are understanding now is that they had lots of windows in to how directly connected Donald Trump was to potential very lucrative opportunities to line his pockets in Russia. Whether it be the investments that Russian entities made in the trump operation, that he is likely trying to hide by not releasing tax returns or this potential deal to put a trump Tower inside Russia. They were pretty sure when they made the big investment that Donald Trump had and could have a future big financial stake in Russia. And ne know what motivates him first and foremost is the security of his wallet, of his financial empire. So I think you’re seeing why the Russians may have believed that they were making a pretty safe bet."
