A federal judge has confirmed for the first time that Felix Sater, a former Donald Trump business associate who drove Trump Tower Moscow negotiations during the 2016 election, helped the U.S. government track down Osama bin Laden.
During a hearing on Thursday in the Eastern District of New York — held as part of a lawsuit brought by First Look Media to unseal records related to Sater’s longtime cooperation with the government on various national security issues — Judge I. Leo Glasser said the media group already knew all of the “very interesting and dangerous things” Sater had done through his decade as an FBI informant.
“He cooperated,” Glasser said. “And you know what he did over the 10, 11 years, because you told me that you know. He provided the telephone number of Osama bin Laden. He has done an awful lot of very interesting and dangerous things.”
The detail is just another bizarre side plot that has emerged over the two-plus years that federal investigators, lawmakers and journalists have tried to uncover every detail about possible interactions between the Trump campaign and Russian intermediaries during the 2016 election. The probes have put spotlights on a cast of figures in Trump’s extended orbit, many of whom possess unusual backgrounds.

thanks, Cletus
And yet, they wanted his business/and personal tax records so they could out others.
This guy is now a target. Does anyone think about security these days, and the need to keep mum on some subjects.
We could have used this guy again. Well, not now.
This may have been outed before, but I’ll bet it was a Leftist who outed it.
WHAT?????? Is this a JOKE??
What exactly is wrong with this? I’d say it’s a good thing that he provided the number, regardless of how he found it out.
Time to buy that million $$ life policy.
One way to take care of your loved ones.
And refresh your will.
Lots of crazy stuff flying around as the Horowitz report is about to come out.
It looks like Glenn Greenwald is part of the company that filed this lawsuit. Also, there’s a former Gawker editor, there.
What is wrong is that the guy is burned, never to be value to the USA and now on our enemies hit list. Way to go judge.
1) Why is the judge blabbing? 2) So what? Bin Laden was not a friend of the USA.
Who in the hell does this to endanger a man’s life just because of his association with DJT. The visceral hatred of the left and uniparty is unbounded. It almost seems a war is coming....
This is just unforgivable this man now has a target on his back are these fricking DEMS kidding me???? Well one to good thing to come of this IS no one and I mean NO ONE will ever go under cover for them again!!!!
IF he had been binhead’s lover, this wouldn’t be a problem.

According to the article, the information was already public:
Excerpt:
As congressional investigators turned their attention to Sater, he regularly promoted the work he did as an FBI informant, arguing it displayed his patriotism.
He said in written remarks to lawmakers that he “provided crucial intelligence information” about Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida “before and after the 9/11 attacks.” He gave BuzzFeed more details — which the publication independently confirmed — saying that he obtained five of the personal satellite telephone numbers for bin Laden before the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Lots of crazy stuff flying around as the Horowitz report is about to come out.

As before, don’t believe a word the lying media says. They always have an agenda and it’s always to harm conservatives.
Show us the bin Laden kill shots
Where’s the Death Certificate?
