Trump pursued deal to build Trump Tower in Moscow in 2015-2016

One can never trust a story based on unsubstantiated reports that rely on anonymous sources.

Nonetheless, there are elements of this story that are circumstantially provable (for example, BOTH of Trump's sons,boasting of the family's deals with Russian oligarchs and banks.)....This story, if true, clearly points out that the Trump Russia connection investigations are FAR, FAR from over.and what Trump calls a "witch hunt".......You judge:


While Donald Trump was running for President in late 2015 and early 2016, his company was pursuing a plan to develop a massive Trump Tower in Moscow, according to several people familiar with the proposal and new records reviewed by Trump Organization lawyers.

As part of the discussions, a Russian-born real estate developer urged Trump to come to Moscow to tout the proposal and suggested that he could get President Vladimir Putin to say “great things” about Trump.

The developer, Felix Sater, predicted in a November 2015 email that he and Trump Organization leaders would soon be celebrating - both one of the biggest residential projects in real estate history and Donald Trump's election as president

Sater wrote to Trump Organization Executive Vice President Michael Cohen “something to the effect of, 'Can you believe two guys from Brooklyn are going to elect a President?'” said one person briefed on the email exchange. Sater emigrated from what was then the Soviet Union when he was six and grew up in Brooklyn.

Trump never went to Moscow as Sater proposed. And although investors and Trump's company signed a letter of intent, they lacked the land and permits to proceed and the project was abandoned at the end of January 2016, just before the presidential primaries began.

Nevertheless, the details of the deal, which have not previously been disclosed, provide evidence that Trump's business was actively pursuing significant commercial interests in Russia at the same time he was campaigning to be President - and in a position to determine US-Russia relations. The new details from the emails, which are scheduled to be turned over to congressional investigators soon, also point to the likelihood of additional contacts between Russia-connected individuals and Trump associates during his presidential bid.

[MikeK]

I think trump is on the right track with Russia because an alliance with that nation would be a good thing for us both -- considering what is developing in the Middle East.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

And?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Trump Towers in Istanbul, Panama City, Toronto and Manila also....just saying

 

[Rambunctious]

Now they are really stretching....I'll repeat for the ones not paying attention...Trump is a business man not a dirty politician..... There.

One real estate developer wrote to Trump? That's the extent of your evidence?

<YAWN!>

 

[HappyJoy]

Didn't Trump say there were no Russian connections? Maybe he forgot.

 

[Camp]

Now they are really stretching....I'll repeat for the ones not paying attention...Trump is a business man not a dirty politician..... There.

He is a dirty and corrupt businessman and now he has become a dirty and corrupt politician. His past record in the courts confirm him as a dirty and corrupt businessman and the Russia investigation will confirm him as a corrupt politician.

Wow Jake

Wow

Nailed it!

Trump talked to a Russian about a deal that never want forward -- and that convinced you to switch your vote from Hillary to Trump.

 

[Rambunctious]

He is a dirty and corrupt businessman and now he has become a dirty and corrupt politician. His past record in the courts confirm him as a dirty and corrupt businessman and the Russia investigation will confirm him as a corrupt politician

You don't have any way of proving that...you are just repeating nonsense. Real estate is a hard business. There are obstacles one must navigate and sometimes that leads to skirting the rules...we all do it at times. It doesn't mean he is a dirty business man.

They confirm him as doing business as usual. Of course, lefties, who know nothing about business, think it's a scandal that they sue each other. Their theory that honest businesses never get sued is hilarious.

Jake is going to tell us how the results of this busted effort to build a Tower in Moscow convinced him to flip his vote.

His lost law suits prove and confirm him as corrupt. Starting in the 70's until his most recent loss regarding Trump University. A long history of doing more than just skirting the law, but actually being defined as corrupt in courtrooms is evidence beyond the debate about his honesty and integrity. He ignored laws and he ripped people off.
Lying has been trump's trademark.

Yes, he did... there is no evidence he had connections to the Russian government.

He settled out of court, so that lawsuit proves nothing, moron.

Honest businessmen do get sued. Trump was sued for his dishonesty.

He was sued by a gang of disgruntled losers.
