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...
The largest investor/owner of Buzz Feed is NBC Universal.
It’s crap news.
Given the source, I will simply assume that these are fake documents and another hoax originating from the usual suspects.
Trump committed no crime. He is an international businessman. Why should he cease his business dealings while still on the campaign trail to get the nomination? And the source documents indicate that these preliminary discussions were carried out by underlings with possible firms seeking a joint venture. It started in October or earlier 2015.
There wasn't anything improper.
It was simply people discussing a proposed Trump project in Russia.
BuzzFeed has no credibility. It would not matter if these documents were signed, notarized, and had Trump’s fingerprints on them. I would not believe it, coming from BuzzFeed.
Buzzfeed, where they tell you the sky is pink as you look up into the blue sky. Professional, trained liars spewing fake news daily to an audience who loves being lied to.
Weisman, to be more specific.
BuzzFeed pure BS!
This no, doubt, a composition by the NSA deep state operatives.
They can rig it electronically (with all the proper time dates and stamps) and have had plenty enough time to compose it.
As if Cohen was a player in Trump campaign strategy.
I can’t imagine anyone basing their decision on whom to vote for, by Putin’s support. That has got to be silly made up stuff.
I was going to vote for Hillary until Felix Sater endorsed Trump.
Not a crime.
He found them in the world of imagination.
Donald Trump NEVER said anything like “I will never build a project in Russia” or “I have never explored building a project in Russia”.... he said stuff like “I have no deals in Russia” which has always been TRUE and remains TRUE to this day.
This is not some mere hair splitting, he was talking in FACTS and the vile lying MSM is always talking in propaganda.
‘’ ‘’ It looks like Mueller has the idea that it is also illegal for Russian’s to use the internet.’’ ‘’
And some of them are even using fake names to conceal their identities which is a wire fraud in itself.... As a person whose real name is The and surname is Toll you must immediately condemn these crime. /sarc
“Probably got them from the Michael Cohen raid and leaked via special counsel.”
no doubt about it ...
