Does it seem strange to you that nothing in the email excerpts the Times published convey anything about a real estate deal?
-
As noted in the post, that's precisely the Q we should be asking. Why was Sater talking election, not tower, in Nov?
-
And why did Sater's request for Cohen involvement lead to call to "main protagonist" of anti-Hillary campaign?
-
Right, a political comms professional makes sense as a contact for an electioneering scheme, not a real estate transaction.
-
He's far more than a comms person. He's a Putin lackey.
-
To where he’d be a point man for a Trump Tower in Moscow, absent any other political motive?
-
Well, we have a better explanation, so probably not. Unless the Tower was directly tied to a hack-and-leak.
-
Right, not to get all Menschy, but almost reads as if former was code for latter.

As
@emptywheel points out, interesting piece here is that Sater connected the Tower deal to the election itself. Why?https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/902248738697224195 …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Unless you treat it as quid pro quo. One side gets their Trump Tower the other side gets the sanctions removed.

This is far more a Jewish American mafia affair - look at the main protagonists - with Trump than anything "Russia."
