In a shocker, a Kazakh bank says in a court filing that Felix Sater, President Trump's longtime business partner and a career criminal, considered using POTUS and Michael Cohen's proposed Trump Tower Moscow project to launder money bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
A reminder: President Trump, Felix Sater, the Trump children and the Trump Organization all have an interesting history together. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
“Sater not only met with Ilyas Khrapunov in Trump Tower to discuss laundering the stolen funds, but he also personally arranged meetings between Ilyas and Donald J. Trump to discuss possible investments.”

1/3: Let’s get real about what the media got wrong and right about Trump-Russia coverage. And, no, #Russiagate isn’t this generation’s WMD. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
2/3. Fresh off Bill Barr’s summaries of the Mueller report, the Steele dossier is back in vogue. And it’s being put to the same uses: misleading the public about the roots of the Mueller probe and the roots of much of the Trump-Russia media coverage: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
3/3 Anybody using the Steele dossier as an excuse to write off tons of great Trump-Russia reporting — or the Mueller probe itself — is doing so because they haven’t done their homework or they want to look the other way: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Barr now says that his 4-page letter last weekend wasn't really a "summary" of Mueller's report and he never intended to summarize 400 pages because that wouldn't have been in the "public interest." The technical legal term for this is "walking back your story."
Barr plans to release the Mueller report by mid-April and that the White House won’t see the document before it goes to Congress. 400 pages long, plus exhibits
It’s now apparent that there was no reason Barr couldn’t have waited a week to draft a more thoughtful, accurate and legally judicious letter about the Mueller report. Yet he rushed a letter last Sunday on a voluminous report he would have presumably been challenged to digest.

“While this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.” bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
President Trump scored a significant political and legal victory on Sunday — and also, despite his win, couldn’t avoid misrepresenting what Mueller said about his conduct: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
When Barr and Rosenstein assessed possible obstruction of justice — the Comey firing, for example — Rosenstein’s analysis had to be complicated by the fact that he drafted the memo that Trump used to justify firing Comey bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

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

I have found an interesting new connection that is possibly related to #TrumpRussia:
1) When visiting Felix Sater's twitter account, (to find out if he had posted about his childhood friend, Michael Cohen, testifying on 2/7/2019), I discovered one of Sater's first twitter follows was international billionaire criminal, "Vladimir Antonov":
Even though Vladimir Antonov didn't follow Felix Sater, one of his first follows was interestingly, "Ivanka Trump":

BREAKING: Trump's ex-attorney Michael Cohen is currently in a Manhattan federal courthouse to plead guilty to a NEW charge in the Mueller investigation – lying to Congress about the Russia probe re the timing of the Trump Tower Moscow deal.
#Maddow nyti.ms/2zvy5R8
Michael Cohen admitted that the Trump Tower Moscow project talks went on well into AUG 2016 [during the campaign] and he had discussions about it with INDIVIDUAL 1 [TRUMP] despite Trump's claims that the project ended before he became the nominee.
#Maddow
Michael Cohen's plea today backs up this MAY 17, 2018 reporting by @JasonLeopold and @a_cormier_ about how the Trump Tower Moscow deal talks were ongoing during the 2016 campaign and that Trump was planning a Russia trip once he became the nominee.

The #transcript is *312 pages*. Things get JUICY on p62👉🏼Simpson describes the #SteeleDossier as ”broadly speaking, a kind of holistic examination of Donald Trump's business record...it evolved somewhat quickly into issues of his relationships to *organized crime figures*‼️🔥
Simpson says his work on the #SteeleDossier began in Sept/Oct 2015.🤔

Feinstein staffer Heather Sawyer asks WHO initially engaged Fusion to perform the opposition colonoscopy on @realDonaldTrump, says it was a REPUBLICAN‼️

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
