Is this fucking true?
A federal judge has confirmed for the first time that Felix Sater, a former Donald Trump business associate who drove Trump Tower Moscow negotiations during the 2016 election, helped the U.S. government track down Osama bin Laden.
During a hearing on Thursday in the Eastern District of New York held as part of a lawsuit brought by First Look Media to unseal records related to Saters longtime cooperation with the government on various national security issues Judge I. Leo Glasser said the media group already knew all of the very interesting and dangerous things Sater had done through his decade as an FBI informant.
He cooperated, Glasser said. And you know what he did over the 10, 11 years, because you told me that you know. He provided the telephone number of Osama bin Laden. He has done an awful lot of very interesting and dangerous things.

I will get Putin on this program and we will get Donald elected, Sater wrote in a November 2015 email to Cohen, pitching him on a massive real-estate deal in Moscow and implying it could help Trump win the election. Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it I will get all of Putins team to buy in on this, I will manage this process.

Sater also helped Trump scope out Russia deals in the early 2000s. He showed Ivanka Trump and her brother Donald Trump Jr. around Moscow in 2006 when their father was scouting real estate there.

(13,522 posts)news here, maybe that will remind Rep Schiff to bring Felix in for a public hearing!!!!! As the article says, Sater was scheduled to testify in late March when Barr released his bogus summary...a friend of M. Cohens since their teenage years, Felix knows a whole whole lot about drumpf and his dirty deeds, and best of all
lil donnie is terrified of Sater. Terrified
Dear Rep Schiff, please dont forget about Felixxxxxxxx!!!

How did Dubya know that bin Laden's family needed safe passage out of America?

(15,635 posts)why do people have faith in voting/democracy?
Many of us hang on to the notion that we really do have a say in things and can influence where we go, what we do, how we behave as a country domestically and internationally.
Meanwhile, many of those who don't vote think that we're starry-eyed dreamers. It's sometimes hard to argue with them. Heck, the proof is sort of in the pudding. You only need to just look at the 2000 and 2016 elections to realize that.
Just venting ... I vote and am gonna continue to vote. But sometimes I gotta wonder.

Obama killed bin Laden.
Trump wants to bring him back up and resurrect him to cancel another Obama accomplishment.

So, not really surprising - these types of grifters and mafioso people all have a very similar circle of "friends" - all for the same reason = ties to big money.
