CNN's Chris Cuomo has the Trump Tower Moscow letter of intent with Trump's signature.



Julia Davis


@JuliaDavisNews

Trump: "I have nothing to do with #Russia. Haven’t made a phone call to Russia in years. Don’t speak to people from Russia. I have nothing to do with Russia. To the best of my knowledge, no person that I deal with does.”

Four months into his presidential campaign, Donald Trump signed a letter of intent to pursue a Trump Tower–style building development in Moscow, according to a statement from the Trump Organization’s then–chief counsel, Michael Cohen.

"Well I told you, General Flynn obviously was dealing [with Russia]. So that's one person. But he was dealing, as he should have been. . . . Russia is a ruse. I have nothing to do with Russia. Haven't made a phone call to Russia in years. Don't speak to people from Russia. I have nothing to do with Russia. To the best of my knowledge, no person that I deal with does." -- President Donald Trump, in a news conference, on Feb. 16, 2017

"Cohen's a liar."

"There's no proof."

Looks like a smocking gun to me too.

It may be legit but seems like a plant. Give us some substantiation, please.

The proof I have is that Cuomo reportedly has this letter.

I'm sure you'll be hearing more about it, but Julia Davis is a rock-solid, reputable source, and I'm sure she wouldn't have tweeted it if it were unsubstantiated.

He would be one of the least likely to put this out there if it weren't solidly verified, knowing what happened to Dan Rather and Mary Mapes at CBS regarding W's activities in the National Guard.

The one floating around before was unsigned. This is a BFD.

Especially when you see the deal was being financed by a sanctioned, state owned Russian bank.

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/12/bullsht-rudy-giuliani-goes-angry-rant-cnn-busts-false-trump-tower-moscow-claims/

n trying to downplay the significance of President Donald Trump trying to secure a building project with the Kremlin at the same time he was running for president, Giuliani claimed this week that Trump had never signed the letter of intent that was supposed to have kick-started talks to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.

However, CNN on Tuesday night obtained a copy of the letter of intent — and it turns out that Trump did, in fact, sign it.

When reached by the New York Daily News to give his side of the story, Giuliani called CNN’s story “bullsh*t” and tried to deny that he had ever said Trump didn’t sign the letter of intent.

“I don’t think I said nobody signed it,” Giuliani told the paper. “How could you send it but nobody signed it?”

I swear Giuliani just needs a skunk suit and those wavy lines indicating stench and he'd be perfect for a Saturday morning cartoon villain. Or at least the villain's goofy sidekick.

and stated it was legal.

I am too lazy to find the clip. But, he admitted to all of this. he said if he lost the election he would still need his business. This is the crap his deplorables believe and love.
