Ahead of Michael Cohen’s testimony, read the original paper trail behind the campaign to build Europe’s tallest tower in Moscow — and how it played out alongside Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
SNIP
BuzzFeed News is today publishing a cache of internal Trump Organization documents that lay bare the secret negotiations that continued long after Cohen claimed the deal had been abandoned. The documents, many of which have been exclusively obtained by BuzzFeed News, reveal that — despite Trump’s claim that the development was never more than a passing notion — the effort to get the tower built was long-running, detail-oriented and directly entwined with the ups and downs of his campaign.
As Trump went from rally to rally, vociferously denying any dealings in Russia, his representatives, Michael Cohen and his associate Felix Sater, worked with Trump Organization lawyers and even Ivanka Trump to push forward negotiations to build a 100-story edifice just miles from the Kremlin. The fixers believed they needed Putin’s support to pull off the lucrative deal, and they planned to use Trump’s public praise for him to help secure it. At the same time, they plotted to persuade Putin to openly declare his support for Trump’s candidacy. “If he says it we own this election,” Sater wrote to Cohen.
ETC...
I wonder where BF found all this stuff and why we didn't have these alleged details before.
Buzzfeed? The flaming pile of Fake News garbage ? That Buzzfeed ?
Shhhh! It’s a secret!
How horrifying to think that we could have a president who had built buildings and earned money as opposed to being a “community organizer” or other form of professional grifter.
Of course it goes without saying that this is the beginning of the end for the Trump adminstration, the walls are closing in blah blah blah.
Probably got them from the Michael Cohen raid and leaked via special counsel.
several guys not named “trump” discuss a lot of stuff, but clearly none of the stuff they say they’re going to do ever actually happens. then cohen tells the other two guys to p*ss off. and then stuff continues to not happen.
what they think this means to DJT is beyond me.
If this was true these are the worst political advisors in history. They thought they’d win if Putin endorsed Trump? WTF? They should have advocated Putin endorse Hillary if they wanted to score points in America.
I, like everybody else besides his mother, have never heard of Felix Sater, but if he thought a Putin endorsement would have helped Trump's candidacy, let alone assured his victory, he's an idiot on a grand scale.
On a related note, BuzzFeed still exists?
“Long article with lots of special content.”
The longer the leftist article just means the longer the leftist lie.
From Andrew Weissman of Herr Mueller's probe.
“Trump went from rally to rally, vociferously denying any dealings in Russia” - never happened
“Trump Heaped Praise On Putin” - never happened
Can’t trust anything Buzzfeed publishes. For all we know this crap was ginned up by the Deep State to jibe with Cohen’s expected testimony.
Remember, he’s a cooperating witness.
Thousands of American businesses do business in Russia.
Who knew this was criminal activity?
Just think, without Trump’s having run for President, we still would think that doing business with Russian partners was perfectly legal.
Even if true, they haven’t shown any improper conduct.
People brainstorming ideas about a Trump project in Russia. Various people bragging they have “connections” trying to get in on the deal.
It looks like Mueller has the idea that it is also illegal for Russian’s to use the internet.
BS FEED
The Jallen that’s been here for a Year? Yes, that Jallen.
The same place they find the rest of their garbage...the local dumpster. Sounds like Azeen Ghorayshi is trying very hard to keep herself from having her job cut.
It ends in June with this:
Later that afternoon, Cohen and Sater meet in the atrium at Trump Tower in New York. Sater will later recall in an interview with BuzzFeed News that this meeting was when Cohen told him the Trump Tower Moscow deal was off.
This is such incredible BS.
It appears even Cohen constantly saw this Sater guy was hot air, and Sater must be an idiot if he thought a Putin endorsement would help an American presidential candidate.
