Secret files show how Trump Tower Moscow talks unfolded while Trump heaped praise on Putin. Side by side timelines of Moscow Tower negotiations [between Michael Cohen, Felix Sater, & Moscow] and Trump's evolving public comments on Russia.

Of note: Before Trump signed the Moscow Tower letter of intent, the Trump Org revised the clause stating that the terms of the agreement were to be kept confidential by everyone involved. The edit by Trump Org allowed Trump himself to speak publicly about the deal.
#Maddow
Michael Cohen and Felix Sater planned to use Trump’s public praise for Putin to help secure the lucrative Trump Tower Moscow deal. At the same time, they plotted to persuade the Russian president to declare his support for Trump’s candidacy.

SDNY's subpoena to Trump's inaugural committee also asks for records related to tech company Stripe, which processed payments from donors. A key investor of Stripe is Thrive Capital, which, at the time, Jared Kushner co-owned with his brother Josh.
#Maddow nyti.ms/2UKFPHe
What the @nytimes piece fails to point out is that while tech company Stripe was being paid by the Trump inaugural fund, Jared Kushner was still a key investor in Stripe through his company Thrive, which he did not divest from until spring 2017.

Mar 20, 2017: Jared Kushner *plans to* exit 3 limited liability companies backed by Thrive Capital, the firm he co-founded with his brother Josh. The companies include tech company Stripe [named in SDNY's subpoena to the Trump Inaugural Committee].

BREAKING: New York federal prosecutors seek interviews with Trump Organization executives, signaling a growing potential threat to the Trumps from criminal investigations by the Manhattan [SDNY] US Attorney's office.
by @eorden @CristinaAlesci #Maddow cnn.it/2t7gbAL
Trump and his lawyers have long harbored concerns that investigations by New York federal prosecutors may pose greater danger to him and his family than the Mueller probe. Prosecutors' recent interest in Trump Org execs may intensify those fears.
#Maddow
One Trump campaign official who was questioned *last summer* by SDNY prosecutors was asked about coordination between Trump Org & the campaign, how Trump Org was structured, and which accounts were used to pay campaign staffers & campaign-related bills.

Felix Sater tells Michael Cohen he got Ivanka a seat in Putin's chair. A private island. Getting Trump elected. All with help from Putin's govt. Smells like collusion to me. #TrumpRussia #ImpeachTrump

Secret Files Show How Trump Moscow Talks Unfolded While Trump Heaped Praise On Putin - a side by side timeline with documentation links of Trump Tower Moscow deal discussions and Trump praising Putin during the campaign
buzzfeednews.com/article/azeeng…
I'm catching up on cache of docs in the BF article and will post a few notes on this thread - here's link to 284 page pdf

First quick note - there's little public info to-date on Rozov's financial advisor Dmitry Chizhikov, who coordinated w/Sater on deal
assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5719…
On 10/9/15 Sater emailed Cohen he was meeting with Andrey Molchanov "to do Trump Moscow" on his site and mentioned that Putin worked for his stepfather who had been the governor of St. Petersburg (Yury Molchanov was Vice Governor)

💣BOOM💣

THREAD: Mueller has **at least FOUR DOZEN questions** on an huge array of subjects he wants to ask Trump to probe his ties w/#Russia🇷🇺 & whether he committed #ObstructionOfJustice‼️ 1/

#MuellerIsComing

nytimes.com/2018/04/30/us/…
The NYTimes **obtained the list of Qs that Mueller wants to ask Trump during an interview.🤨

It's VERY hard to imagine that details of the ACTUAL questions would leak, unless the negotiations btwn Mueller & Trump's lawyers have BROKEN DOWN (as I was told a few months ago).🤔 2/
Overall, Mueller's open-ended Q's attempt to penetrate Trump's thinking (good luck!), to understand Trump's motivation for his crazed Twitter posts & to examine Trump's relationships w/his family and his closest advisers.🤨 3/
