Given who his tenants have been is he really that surprised?

Thus, by the early 1990s, both the arrival of Russian organized crime in the US and the strange attraction of Trump properties for Russian mobsters were on the Bureau’s radar.

FBI activity in Trump Tower dates back to soon after it was built, in 1983. Around that time, the Bureau put electronic surveillance in the building with a tap on the phone of the above-mentioned Trump Tower resident Robert Hopkins, a Lucchese crime family associate, who was eventually arrested in the Tower for ordering a murder.

1. Seriously!

I have always thought that every time that buffoon brings it up.

2. Thanks for the OP,

but I believe that you meant "tenants" - even though Trump's tenets are also questionable.

3. And he's known it......

This is a way to try to expose and embarrass the FBI.

4. K and R

This would explain much, if verified.

7. Think of the background/$$ check regular people go thru to rent/buy a place

Yet these people move into Trump Towers with criminal backgrounds, dubious activities going on...all he cares about is if their check clears and rent is paid, apparently.

The Russian gambling ring was set up on an ENTIRE FLOOR...

8. The neighborhood crack house is under surveillance, too

Trump Tower standing in for the house where there are comings and goings at all hours of the day and night, occasional loud parties, and shady characters looking surreptitiously up and down the block, but avoiding any eye contact with other neighborhood residents.
