The practical thing is that in many cases mob and political power are near to each other – literally: Sometimes they live next door. This can be confusing for both. And for the media.
It is not so new but I still cannot believe it how ignorant parts of the media reported this nearly forgotten tweet from POTUS:
Is this really McCarthyism? Or is it fighting organised crime? Take a deeper look at the brave work of the United States District Court/Southern District Of New York and their investigations about the Taiwanchik-Trincher Organisation, obviously part of the Russian Organised Crime scene. Regarding the indictment this organisation "was a criminal organization whose members and associates engaged in crimes including operating an illegal gambling business, money laundering, and extortion."
Beside others the Feds looked at this nice flat:
The adress can be found in the indictment:
Yes, it is the Trump Tower. Nice coincidence. A current look into a real estate database shows this:
Another chart appoints to the Russian family - and to POTUS:
Elena Trincher - she does not appear in the indictment - is also mentioned in the Russian internet:
Trump, the Russians, the mob...it can be a confusing thing to find a clue in this opaque net. Already in the near past, in 1999, the one who may be to near to POTUS, was bugged: Putin. He met Berezovskiy a few times in Spain, in Sotogrande - the place where Berezovskiy and Abramovich 1996 hugged each other tenderly (seen on a photography). In this interesting city Spain intelligence observed a Russian Organised Crime figure - who lived next door to Berezovskiy.
And all the distrust about meetings between Russians and US officials...this has tradition and nothing is new: During his presidential campaign Al Gore had the problem that he was the former contact for the relations between Moscow and the White House - under Clinton. Others as Strobe Talbott were acused to be - more or less - unofficial sources of intelligence for the Kremlin, claimed by... the Russian intelligence, here the former agent Sergei Tretyakov.
