Donald Trump admits that business deal with Moscow continued long after he told America it was over

[ffr]

On his way to board Marine One, Donald Trump paused to attack Michael Cohen. In the process, Trump essentially agreed with everything that Cohen stated.

In the process, Trump called Cohen—the former executive vice president of the Trump Organization—both a “weak person” and “not a very smart person.” Trump repeatedly stated that Cohen was lying in an attempt to reduce his sentence. Except that Trump immediately turned around and appeared to admit that he was continuing his effort to land a deal with Moscow even as he was campaigning for president.

Trump: Michael Cohen has made many statements to the house and to the senate, he put out a statement about a project that was essentially, more or less, of an option, that we were looking at in Moscow. Everybody knew about it. It was written about in newspapers. It was a well known project. It was during the early part of ‘16, and I guess even before that. It lasted a short period of time. I didn’t do the project. I decided not to do the project. So I didn’t do it. So we’re not talking about doing a project, we’re talking about not doing a project.

The problem for Trump is that throughout the campaign he denied that he was conducting any business with Russia. And the questions on which Trump provided written responses to the special counsel’s office last week included questions about the Trump Tower Moscow project. - Daily Kos

2. Anyone get the feeling things are starting to be exposed now more than ever

So many different angles are coming together to derail his Presidency.
Wait till the Dems get control of the house and wrap it in a big bow to America.
