Apparently Maddow first caught the gaff made by a Trump attorney who apparently confessed Trump has committed crimes but they are past the statue of limitations.
Is this why Trump is so worried about Mueller digging too deeply?
Why, because his Dream would come to an end, which I doubt was all that much of a dream, just something on the bucket list, but he would not be loved, and that means everything to a Narcissist.
“‘Those transactions are in my view well beyond the mandate of the special counsel,” Dowd was quoted as saying in Bloomberg. “‘They’re unrelated to the election of 2016 or any alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia and most importantly, they are well beyond any statute of limitations imposed by the U.S. Code.'”
It's a real reach to claim that citing the statute of limitations is an admission of anything, the kind of reach used by people hoping to find something, anything to nail Trump because try as they might they just don't have anything to pin on him.

Likely Trump would owe taxes on any fraud.
"Finally, you often hear people say that the statute of limitations never runs on fraud. For civil tax fraud, that's true. The IRS can come after you any time. But it's still rare for the IRS to go back too far. Problems of proof are too great, and the IRS bears a high burden of proof in fraud cases, even civil fraud."

I missed this but that is a stunning admission. What is incredibly clear is Trump has done something (or things) that he fears will be discovered. He has always feared his financials being exposed. He obviously feels extremely beholden to Russia. He obviously has been associating with people that lie about meetings with Russian diplomats and have been caught numerous times. And Trump does not get angry about the meetings, he gets angry about people finding out about the meetings. Come on, something is very wrong here.

I am not so sure.
Trump's attorney, Dowd, specifically said
"Those transactions" and "They" hence he must have been referring to something in Trump's past.
The problem is no one was discussing Trump's distant past at the time. The attorney must have had something on his mind.
I agree it is a reach, however when dealing with Trump and his clan have they lied and covered up things in the past?
How does pointing out that any given transaction is beyond the statute of limitations for being considered/prosecuted as a crime in any way constitute admitting that a transaction was a crime?
What a load of hooey.
This is the kind of spin that earns the MSM the label of FAKE NEWS.

The same type of spin that a meeting about adoptions of Russian children was anything more?

No, Trumps lawyer did not say "crimes". In the click bait article that you posted, only the author of that hit piece said "crime", liberally tossing that word in a number of times
In the second link that was posted only Maddow said "crimes".
The lawyer never said that word and never even hinted at that word.
As Mircea stated, the SOL on fraud does not start until the fraud is discovered, so it's highly doubtful that the lawyer was speaking about the SOL on fraud .. no matter how much the writer in the click bait article is trying to lead people to believe.
The first article that was linked and your thread title are completely misleading.
