There is a thing, what people don't seem to understand about the Russian financial support for Donald Trump's election campaign. The primary question about this kind of investigations is, did Trump knew about the support, what came from Russia? Of course, that money came from the private persons, and they didn't come straight from the Kremlin, what makes that money basically legal. But if the money were given by the Kremlin and the purpose was to support the election campaign of Trump, would the uncovering that support near the final of the presidential election made for supporting the opponent? And that's why that money and the gift was given to public knowledge just before voting process. When we are thinking about the investigations, what are made by special prosecutor Mueller, there is one big question about those investigations.
It is "should the president answer the questions, what investigators make when that person is in office? Here we are talking about the thing, what is very big, and it's should the president be over the law, or could that person kick off, if there are some financial problems with the election campaign? And what happens if some foreign government just put money into those bank accounts, what are opened to the presidential election campaigns. After that, we must say, the most attractive thing for some political thrillers would be that some South American drug cartels would give money to some politicians election campaign. In that case, there would be the very interesting problem, because that bank accounts for the election campaign gifts are open, and what if some drug boss just sends money to those accounts?
And then tells that to the whole world. Could that cause the arresting for the president? That kind of things is very interesting because those drug cartels have money and will to influence the policy of the United States of America. And could the president be responsible for the things, what he or she would not even know? And should that person step out from the office, if that kind of support from illegal actors are found in the election campaigns, even if the president would not know about that money? This example is more radical than the support, what came from the Kremlin but it is basically similar to the real-life case, what is investigated by Mueller.
And of course, the interesting thing is, have somebody make that kind of financial support for presidential elections before in history. Here I must remember, that after the First World War Woodrow Wilson was very passive in the foreign policy. In 1915 the German Submarine sank the ship named Lusitania, and in that case, Wilson was not given the declaration of war to Germany even 1000 united states citizens were killed, and the reason for that was, the ship was under the British flag. Of course, declarations of war are given by Senate, but somebody has claimed that Wilson was in the main role that the Senate was not given the declaration of war to Germany. Even in the ship was over four million rifle patrons, the target was the civilian ship. So that incident turned public opinion in the USA for supporting Great Britain and its alliances.
But then after the first World War, the League of Nations were established in 1919, and the mastermind behind this idea was the foreign minister Grey and it was supported by President Wilson. After that, the Senate has not ratified the Versailles peace treatment and the USA stayed outside the League of nations, and then that nation stated the isolation policy, what ended just until Pearl Harbor attack in 1941. The question in those actions was, that did somebody bribed those congressmen or Wilson to make that kind of decision?
The action of Wilson is sometimes translated to confess people, that he supported the League of Nations, but then that thing torpedoed in the Senate because the USA didn't want to join the battles in Europe. And the major question is, what kind of actions were the Wilson or Senate didn't want to take apart? Wilson's actions after Lusitania have caused claiming, that maybe some Germans gave support for that man? But this is only the speculation. If Wilson would send the troops to Europe in 1915, the war could be ended, because Germany would get honorable peace. But those things are only speculations, and we do not know every fact about those happens, what caused that the League of Nations left without teeth, as we might say.
