Trump White House has secret plan to end Russian sanctions by blackmailing Ukraine president: report
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/02/trump-white-house-has-secret-plan-to-end-russian-sanctions-by-blackmailing-ukraine-president-report/
Associates of President Donald Trump have crafted a plan to lift sanctions that were placed on Russia following President Vladimir Putins aggression against Ukraine.
According to The New York Times, Trumps personal attorney, Michael Cohen, hand-delivered the peace plan to the White House, which was being pushed by former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and former Trump campaign manager Paul D. Manafort. Trump business associate Felix H. Sater and Andrii V. Artemenko, a Ukrainian lawmaker, were said to have helped craft the deal.
A lot of people will call me a Russian agent, a U.S. agent, a C.I.A. agent, Artemenko told the Times. But how can you find a good solution between our countries if we do not talk?
The plan reportedly includes compromising names of companies, wire transfers that would lead to the ousting of Ukraine President Petro O. Poroshenko.

(14,302 posts)4. We've seen Flynn spreading propaganda for Putin in Belarus
about non-existent Polish invasions...
And Cohen's name came up in the dossier. Cohen denied this and showed his passport indicating no recent travel to Europe. But given his known associates, there's no reason he couldn't have a second passport and be up to his eyballs in this too.
Now neither one is protected by executive privilege, so they can be forced to testify and used as leverage against bigger fish.
