Trump Associate Boasted That Moscow Business Deal ‘Will Get Donald Elected’ - Polidicks

[B][U]Trump Associate Boasted That Moscow Business Deal ‘Will Get Donald Elected’[/U][/B] [url]https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/28/us/politics/trump-tower-putin-felix-sater.html[/url] [QUOTE] A business associate of President Trump promised in 2015 to engineer a real estate deal with the aid of the president of Russia, Vladimir V. Putin, that he said would help Mr. Trump win the presidency. The business associate, Felix Sater, wrote a series of emails to Mr. Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, in which he boasted about his ties to Mr. Putin and predicted that building a Trump Tower in Moscow would be a political boon to Mr. Trump’s candidacy. [B]"Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it," Mr. Sater wrote in an email. [U]"I will get all of Putins team to buy in on this, I will manage this process."[/U][/B] The emails show that, from the earliest months of Mr. Trump’s campaign, some of his associates viewed close ties with Moscow as a political advantage. Those ties are now under investigation by the Justice Department and multiple congressional committees. There is no evidence in the emails that Mr. Sater delivered on his promises. Mr. Sater, a Russian immigrant, was a broker for the Trump Organization at the time, which means he was paid to deliver real estate deals. [B]In another email, Mr. Sater envisioned a ribbon-cutting in Moscow. [U]"I will get Putin on this program and we will get Donald elected," Mr. Sater wrote[/U][/B] [/QUOTE] Remember the name "Felix Sater"; this guy is going to be very important in the coming week ahead according to recent comments. [QUOTE=BlindSniper17;52620517]Sater was previously on record as saying a few weeks back that "he knows both he and the POTUS are going to prison" and that "In about the next 30 to 35 days, I will be the most colourful character you have ever talked about". At that time, "30-35" days lined up sometime around early September (around the time of the 1st-3rd). Sater is an FBI asset and stayed out of jail for past crimes for being an FBI informant. Expect more big news to come from Sater in the next week or so, I guess. ... [B]Pay attention to upcoming events and make sure to remember the name "Felix Sater" - he seems like he will be a very important character if the latest news (and past rumors/speculation) are true...[/B][/QUOTE]

watch as this gets ignored yet again and called fake news and fucking nothing happens

There's only so many ways that I can say, "send Donald Trump and every one of his family members and associates who were complicit in this treason to prison for the rest of their lives," before I run out of creative new ways of doing so.

Short but clear.

[QUOTE=TheDrunkenOne;52622374]watch as this gets ignored yet again and called fake news and fucking nothing happens[/QUOTE] these things take time to come to fruition, i'd rather mueller's team has an absolutely solid and impregnable case that takes some time than leaving an opportunity open for legal weaseling [editline]28th August 2017[/editline] like, even if this were the smoking gun damning trump and his associates to an eternity in hell/fuck me in the ass federal prison, it would be a few months before that came to happen

Imagine the irony if email scandals are what lead to Trump's impeachment. :v:

It's kinda astounding that he's still in office, don't you think? Like this is national emergency holy-shit-everyone-panic type of shit?

[QUOTE=Str4fe;52622715]It's kinda astounding that he's still in office, don't you think? Like this is national emergency holy-shit-everyone-panic type of shit?[/QUOTE] Spoiler alert: It's a Republican in office so the checks and balances to keep people accountable and to prevent this kind of thing from happening don't matter.

[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;52622722]Spoiler alert: It's a Republican in office so the checks and balances to keep people accountable and to prevent this kind of thing from happening don't matter.[/QUOTE] Actually according to good citizen Journalism Trump may have flooded GOP with Russian Money, which is horribly scary, but easier for Trump to get impeached because a lot of Congress may go down with Trump.

They follow the traditional conservative idea of short sightedness to stay in the top. They don't care about how big hypocrites they are, or how much damage they do to people, just how much money and power they can get as fast as possible.

[QUOTE=TheDrunkenOne;52622374]watch as this gets ignored yet again and called fake news and fucking nothing happens[/QUOTE] Until the investigation is over nothing will happen, it'll still be months until it's over, especially if new shit keeps popping up nearly every day. It's exactly because of how serious this situation is that nothing has been done yet, at this point they can't just grab Trump and drag him away, he's clearly not the only one that's involved in some bad shit, they HAVE to catch every single person that they can possibly find that's involved in all this shit, let none escape that can possibly continue doing these things.

What's more, they need mountains of evidence to be sure of a conviction. Don't want the rats slipping away because the investigators weren't thorough enough.

I think, if something like this was in place, it'd possibly get bipartisan support from congress and senate to enact such an action no matter the president so long as the situation was in place. The same would have to be done if a member of the administration, congress, or senate was under administration.

[QUOTE=Zero-Point;52624308]Imagine how fucked it would be if Trump went on "vacation" and somehow managed to slip away from the secret service and go into hiding somewhere.[/QUOTE] Frankly, if such a policy were to ever get into the game and it'd only occur way after this administration, such an event would be possible dependent on the character of who gets hired as secret service. Honestly I don't know their hiring requirements beyond expecting something in a second party and very rigidly demanding regardless of some stories breaking anything close to a mythos.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;52622689]I fucking hate Donald Trump so fucking much[/QUOTE] i never thought i could hate someone i've never met as much as i hate the trumpster. and i went into this year optimistic, took him days to ruin that for me.
