Remember how Donald Trump said he had no business dealings with Russia? Yeah, that was a lie.

Courtesy of WaPo: 

While Donald Trump was running for president in late 2015 and early 2016, his company was pursuing a plan to develop a massive Trump Tower in Moscow, according to several people familiar with the proposal and new records reviewed by Trump Organization lawyers. 

As part of the discussions, a Russian-born real estate developer urged Trump to come to Moscow to tout the proposal and suggested that he could get President Vladimir Putin to say “great things” about Trump, according to several people who have been briefed on his correspondence. 

The developer, Felix Sater, predicted in a November 2015 email that he and Trump Organization leaders would soon be celebrating — both one of the biggest residential projects in real estate history and Donald Trump’s election as president, according to two of the people with knowledge of the exchange. 

Sater wrote to Trump Organization Executive Vice President Michael Cohen “something to the effect of, ‘Can you believe two guys from Brooklyn are going to elect a president?’ ” said one person briefed on the email exchange. Sater emigrated from what was then the Soviet Union when he was 6 and grew up in Brooklyn.

The deal did not go through only because they lacked the land and permits to make it happen.

The deal was abandoned in January 2016, right before the presidential primaries.

So yes there was a deal with the Russians being actively pursued even AFTER Trump announced he was running for president.

Personally I think that there are a whole lot of business deals with the Russians, besides the ones we know about, that will soon bubble to the surface.

    Sater recently told his family that he and tRump would be going to prison. I hope THAT prediction comes true.

    Look at Trump wearing his red baseball cap. With his pale white skin and blondish white hair tucked behind his ear makes him look like a white supremacist Nazi.

    The New York Times reported on Monday that it had obtained emails in which Sater “boasts” the claims to Trump attorney Michael Cohen.

    “Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it,” Sater wrote in one email, according to the Times. “I will get all of Putin’s team to buy in on this, I will manage this process.”

    $hitgibbon:"Trump has worked with Sater for years, despite the fact that he took part in a $40 million mob-related stock scam. Back in 2013, British program BBC Panorama directly asked Trump why he was still doing real estate deals with Sater, and Trump frantically tried to deflect the question before walking out of the interview all together."
    "“Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it,” Mr. Sater wrote in one email to Cohen. “I will get all of Putin’s team to buy in on this, I will manage this process.”

    “Well, first of all, we were not in business together, that was a licensing deal,”"“Excuse me, but I don’t know, you’re telling me things that I don’t even know about,” Trump replied. “I mean, you’re telling me about Felix Sater. I know who he is…”“Again, Jon, maybe you’re thick, but when you have a signed contract, you can’t, in this country, just break it,”
    "rump at that point got up and walked out of the interview."

    Anything and Everything that trump has signed or put into law must be moot. He cannot be allowed to change or remove anything. When you have a fraud signing documents it is fake and fraudulent. mr trump and his adult children have cost the usa taxpayers. And the usa taxpayers must be paid back.

    Picture the hurricane and President Clinton. She'd be monitoring it 24-7, not sitting blankly in a chair while others work. The GOP would be screaming that this is "God's wrath over abortion and gays!" Hmm, where are they now that Trump has banned gays from service and his VP is working feverishly to end all abortions? Why is God so mad at Texas?
    I wanted to jerk that stupid hat off Trump. Did his mother never teach him that gentlemen remove their caps indoors? He is such a stupid man.

    Fake news is real news if it pertains to Trump. Just because it makes Trump uncomfortable, Trumps only defense is it's fake and should be discounted outright.

    Dealing$"“Again?” Trump asked, apparently mistaking her for the same woman who had spoken earlier. “You’re going to give her — the same one?”

    “No, they are not the same lady,” explained Niinistö, visibly uncomfortable. “They are sitting side by side.”

    “We have a lot of blonde women in Finland,”"
