Cyrus Vance Jr. also dropped fraud charges against Ivanka in 2012.

You know, the guy that gave Acosta the get out of jail free card.

ProPublica reported on this in Oct. of 2017, I missed seeing it and figure may be others did also.

Now that Sater has popped up into the news, the story has been mentioned again.

It involved e-mail evidence of fraudulent plotting between Ivanka and Dim Son Jr. to lie about sales of trump SoHo building.

Dolt 45 sent lawyer Marc Kasowitz to fix the problem. Money exchanged hands between Kasowitz and Vance. Charges were dismissed.

edited to add: Their partners on the SO Ho project included two Soviet-born businessmen, Felix Sater and Tevfik Arif, who ran the Bayrock Group, a real estate development firm.

the building did poorly until the name was changed from Trump to the Dominick.)

smart as shit, and knows how to handle himself.

If Sater's a PhD bullshit artist, Roger Stone has a Bachelors, and Trumpy is graduating Middle School.

This whole TrumpRussia thing could EASILY have been his brainchild. I'm not even kidding.

And the shitty thing is, I'd bet the guy WILL walk, no matter what. He's like Putin-level smart.

And he'd gleefully watch the stupid Americans burn (i.e. Trump, Stone, and everyone in their circle) ... and I won't be shocked to find out he did so one day ... with a cigar in one hand and glass of champagne in the other.

That is how Gotti went down. If trump goes down, it will be a flipper, explaining all the documents and documented evidence. Flippers, 'soiled' as they are, bring about, sometimes, serious justice.

[M. Cohen doing some serious flipping ].
