Make America Marry, Again
This is how we drain the swamp.
With regards to the story that surfaced yesterday about the negotiations to bring a Trump Tower to Moscow (sorry but I can’t seem to find a link): the go-between and Trump’s lawyer were rubbing their hands together with glee (in an email), and saying that they’re going to get “our boy” Trump elected president.
Forgive me for being dense, but I’m not sure I follow. Is this one of those South Park “Profit!” things?
- Trump Tower in Moscow
- ???
- President Trump!!
?
Stealing this.
Just tell him you’ll pay him for it. Then don’t. Same thing.
You know that meeting about “adoptions”? It was set up by a friend of the family who would have been responsible for building a Moscow Trump Tower.
And think of all the money he’ll save by not paying rather than stealing it.
That’s the secret to getting rich.
There’s a simple rule I follow: whenever anyone mentions anything about Russian adoption, I read sanctions. Putin stopped American adoption of Russian children as a direct response to US sanctions. “Resuming adoptions” is simply code for removing sanctions.
Which is why I put the word in quotes. 
No, it’s for real.
Definitely!
I get that it’s real; I’m just not connecting the dots. Sater & Cohen swing a deal with Putin’s people to get a Trump Tower…how does this get Trump elected? Is it that the “adoptions” meeting was the quid pro quo for help getting the Tower built?
My understanding is that they believed that by getting a Trump Tower deal in Moscow, it would show to the whole world, including the American voters, just what a great deal maker El Trumpo is, et voila.
Ok. For the sake of argument, stipulated. Is there anything wrong and/or criminal with it?
Wouldn’t that violate the sanctions? What is it about sTrumpets that they don’t care about the law?
Not per se; but Trump was lying when he said he had no business dealings with Russia.
News flash.
Some might even go so far as to say that lying is wrong.
Okrahoma, what’s your take on lying?
I’m sure you’ll have to specify whether the lying is about something trivial like betraying the country for money, or something critically important, like a blow job.
No, please.
Newly discovered Russian news reports prove that Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen has told a series of bombshell lies to the media.
The Trump Tower Moscow project that Michael Cohen planned for his then-Republican presidential candidate client— and directly asked for help from the Kremlin to approve — did, in fact, have a site, and was planned adjacent to the Crocus City Hall, right alongside the Myakinino metro station.
Initial plans dated all the way back to 2013 and the Miss Universe Moscow pageant. Development partners the Agalarov family confirmed Crocus City as the Trump Tower site as late as 2015, during the campaign.
Democratic Coalition co-founder Scott Dworkin unearthed a July 3rd, 2015 story in Russia’s state-run TASS news agency during the presidential campaign
Emin Agalarov — who set up with his agent Rob Goldstone, Don Jr.’s infamous meeting with Russian agents for dirt on Hillary Clinton — told TASS reporters that the real estate deal would survive the political campaign (via Google Translate):
“Donald Trump, despite the difficult international political situation, is still interested in this project. We are in the process of negotiations, but due to the fact that Trump is nominated for the presidency, and our plans are constantly being adjusted, it can still change.”
“In case this project is implemented (under the Trump Tower brand), the participation of an American billionaire involves the provision of a brand and technologies for this facility. The investment component of the Crocus Group will be handled independently, "Agalarov added.
Trump had entered the Republican primary campaign two weeks earlier, on June 16th, 2015.
TASS reported that a bank loan of up to $100 million from state-owned Sberbank would be sought for the $170 million Moscow Tower project.
Sberbank sponsored Miss Universe 2013 and announced $2.4 billion in financing for the Trump project with Crocus just days after the pageant concluded, but landed on America’s sanctions list over the Ukraine invasion in March 2014.
Kremlin-linked developer Aras Agalarov told Russian media in September 2015 that his son Emin had been in contact with Donald Trump during the primary campaign. Komsomolskaya Pravda reports that Aras Agalarov said (via Google Translate):
“[Trump] is busy with the presidential election campaign. And Emin had seen him recently — there, in America.”
Michael Cohen definitely lied to the news media while spinning the damaging release of emails he sent to the Kremlin asking for help with the project. He told the Washington Post this week that the Trump Moscow project was unable to obtain land:
In a statement to The Post, Cohen described the potential Moscow project as “simply one of many development opportunities that the Trump Organization considered and ultimately rejected.”
Cohen said he abandoned the project because he lost confidence that the Moscow developer would be able to obtain land, financing and government approvals. “It was a building proposal that did not succeed, and nothing more,” he said.
Contrary to the Trump Organization’s bogus spin, the massive development site below was designated, and plans for Trump Tower Moscow were proceeding during the presidential campaign.
