"Buddy our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it," Felix Sater wrote.

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1 1h
Reminder of a Felix Sater email sent to Michael Cohen in 2015:

"Buddy our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it," Sater wrote. "I will get all of Putins team to buy in on this, I will manage this process."


NYT, Aug. 28, 2017:

Felix Sater, wrote a series of emails to Mr. Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, in which he boasted about his ties to Mr. Putin. He predicted that building a Trump Tower in Moscow would highlight Mr. Trump’s savvy negotiating skills and be a political boon to his candidacy.

“Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it,” Mr. Sater wrote in an email. “I will get all of Putins team to buy in on this, I will manage this process.”



Mr. Sater, a Russian immigrant, said he had lined up financing for the Trump Tower deal with VTB Bank, a Russian bank that was under American sanctions for involvement in Moscow’s efforts to undermine democracy in Ukraine. In another email, Mr. Sater envisioned a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Moscow.

“I will get Putin on this program and we will get Donald elected,” Mr. Sater wrote.

“If he says it we own this election,” Mr. Sater wrote. “Americas most difficult adversary agreeing that Donald is a good guy to negotiate.”

...is Felix Sater 'Individual 2' in the court filing for the Cohen plea?

This is absolute proof of a criminal conspiracy between Trump and a foreign adversary.

How are millions of people not taking to the streets? This is the overthrowing of our Democracy, it happened, we have a foreign puppet installed as President.

Felix Sater: "Let's make this happen and build a Trump Moscow. And possibly fix relations between the countries...That should be Putins message as well, and we will help him agree on that message." https://www.cnn.com/2017/09/08/politics/trump-moscow-document/index.html

A reminder that Individual 2 (presumed to be Felix Sater) once described accompanying Ivanka Trump on a 2006 trip to Moscow: “I arranged for Ivanka to sit in Putins private chair at his desk and office in the Kremlin." https://t.co/Rr5NRQo2ND

that he would get busted and would go to prison? I have recently wondered why we haven’t heard more about that.

Longtime Trump business partner ‘told family he knows he and POTUS are going to prison’

For several weeks there have been rumours that Sater is ready to rat again, agreeing to help Mueller. ‘He has told family and friends he knows he and POTUS are going to prison,’ someone talking to Mueller’s investigators informed me.

“I mean, it’s possible there’s a condo or something, so, you know, I sell a lot of condo units, and somebody from Russia buys a condo, who knows?” the president said.

That really disappeared from the radar screen - mine, at least. I assume that if he went silent it was because he was cooperating.

That wording suggests that the insiders knew full well that PINO was just a useful idiot and not really presidential material.

They're plotting to get a guy elected POTUS, and he's "our boy"? That's pretty suspicious.

Those lying asses won't give up until Trump is in an orange suit. Even then, they may be peddling liberal conspiracy theories.

After all, they and the RW radio liars are the ones who have convinced Trump's cult followers.

Inclusive, fairly long article, but evidently he & Cohen go back a long way, and Slater's past is
evil and criminal. Been connected to Russia and Big Business for a long time..More like a crime syndicate boss, rather than a local criminal... Worth reading.
