Trump's Business Worked With Felix Slater On Trump Tower During Campaign Writes WaPo

Building one of the tallest buildings in the world was on Donald Trump's mind when he decided to run for president in 2015. The vision of his Trump Tower Moscow loomed large as Trump's company pursued the massive Trump Tower project. With perfect timing and seeming deception, Donald Trump told the American public that he owned nothing in Russia, that he had no interests in Russia, that the Hillary supporters were obsessed with Russia. The confirmation to the Washington Post about Trump's plans for the Moscow Tower was voiced by several people familiar with the proposal and new records reviewed by Trump Organization lawyers.

Russian-born real estate developer Felix Slater urged Trump to come to Moscow to promote the real estate proposal, suggesting that he could get President Vladimir Putin to say “great things” about Trump, say insiders.

Slater 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 familiar the email exchange. Sater emigrated from what was then the Soviet Union when he was 6 and grew up in Brooklyn.

Slater is a key figure in the Dutch Zembla videos that attempt to layout the vast network of interconnecting ties between Trump and Russia, ones that also touch down in Israel, integrating some of Israel's wealthiest Russian Jewish billionaires. 

We covered the Felix Slater/Trump connection on Hillary Women News on Facebook before Trump became president.

Trumplandia: Serious Legal Jeopardy Looms With Confirmation That Trump DID Plan Strategy For Handling Don Jr Meeting Reveal

Based on Tuesday's acknowledgement by White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, it seems that there's lot of truth in the Washington Post's new assertion that the president was deeply involved in writing the particulars of a statement about his son Donald Trump Jr's meeting with a Kremlin-connected lawyer  “primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children”.

Trump's involvement in planning the strategy on how to handle the media on the breaking story was vehemently denied on all five Sunday news shows, by one of his attorneys Jay Sekulow.

Misleading the public or the news media is not a crime, but advisers to Trump and his family told The Washington Post that they fear any factual information that suggests the president is seeking to hide information about interactions between his campaign and Russians almost inevitably will draw additional scrutiny from special counsel Robert Mueller III.

In spite of hiring an expanding roster of lawyers, Trump, is increasingly acting as his own lawyer, strategist and publicist, often disregarding the recommendations of the professionals he has hired, reports multiple sources to WaPo.

“He refuses to sit still,” the presidential adviser said. “He doesn’t think he’s in any legal jeopardy, so he really views this as a political problem he is going to solve by himself.” In his own eyes, he is innocent of any wrongdoing so his actions can't possibly boomerang against him. 

Trump has said that the Russia investigation is “the greatest witch hunt in political history,” calling it an elaborate hoax created by Democrats to explain why Clinton lost an election she should have won.

Secret Service Debunks Trump Lawyer Jay Sekulow's Lie That They Should Have Vetted Trump Jr. Russians Meeting

In the blithering nonsense that rolls from tongues in Trumplandia, President Trump's personal lawyer had a new argument on the ever-changing Donald Trump Jr. meeting with the Russians, one he expressed on his marathon-man appearances on all five Sunday news talk shows.

Trump's lawyer Jay Sekulow argued that it was the fault of the US Secret Service that Donald Trump's Jr.'s mishap meeting happened in the first place -- b-e-c-a-u-s-e it was the responsibility of the Secret Service to vet the meeting with Russians at Trump Tower. Game over. 

The Secret Service quickly shot down the assertion, much as the Dept. of Homeland Security slammed Trump's assertion that former Attorney General Loretta Lynch had personally issued the US visa to Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.

“Donald Trump, Jr. was not a protectee of the USSS in June, 2016. Thus we would not have screened anyone he was meeting with at that time,” Secret Service spokesman Mason Brayman said in a statement.

After the inauguration, Trump's kids do indeed have Secret Service protection, as they do Trump family deals all over the world. But there was none during the 2016 presidential campaign.
