Aren’t we back where we started? Trump “borrowed” money from the Russian mob who demanded some “VIG” on top of interest? They’re so far up his ass his tonsils have dropped.

Now we know why Trump has been so angry at the Mueller investigation, they are digging out what promises to be a very damaging story about how Trump and his campaign worked with the Russians. This really lays a foundation for the connections, and Trump’s direct involvement…it’s not much more clear than that.

With Cohen’s testimony coming 18 months into the investigation, it seemed assured that most of the testimony would be sought for corroboration. However, 70 hours of testimony also seemed to assure that some new evidence was acquired.

“The defendant’s false statements obscured the fact that the Moscow Project was a lucrative
business opportunity that sought, and likely required, the assistance of the Russian government. If
the project was completed, the Company could have received hundreds of millions of dollars from
Russian sources in licensing fees and other revenues. The fact that Cohen continued to work on
the project and discuss it with Individual 1 well into the campaign was material to the ongoing
congressional and SCO investigations, particularly because it occurred at a time of sustained
efforts by the Russian government to interfere with the U.S. presidential election. Similarly, it was
material that Cohen, during the campaign, had a substantive telephone call about the project with
an assistant to the press secretary for the President of Russia.” from OSC memo

And throw him down and sit on him. That “political synergy” stuff is very, very bad. Let’s assume they asked in a general way and Trump denied any such thing. Oopsie. And there are many other dots to connect we haven’t seen yet in the cards they’re holding.

“He provided detailed information about the true circumstances of the Moscow Project, including
its duration, the persons involved in the discussions, contacts with Russian government officials,
and discussions during the first half of 2016 about the possibility of travel to Russia in connection
with the Moscow Project. In addition to correcting the timeline and detailing the contacts he had
during pursuit of the Moscow Project, Cohen explained financial aspects of the deal that would
have made it highly lucrative for the Company and himself. The information provided by Cohen
about the Moscow Project in these proffer sessions is consistent with and corroborated by other
information obtained in the course of the SCO’s investigation.”
