MSM should stop framing the Russians reaching out the to Trump campaign during the election as if it was an isolated incident during election and start discussing Trump’s almost 4 decades of dealings with Russian officials and mafia in US and abroad. So overlooked
For instance the Trump Tower meet wasn’t Russians peddling dirt on Hillary. It was a meeting between trusted friends. Trump partnered w Agalarov for Miss Universe and kept contact after that including arranging the meet (although I think trump met Agalarov earlier than 2013)
The Russian lawyer Veselnitskaya represented Prevezon and lev Leviev who is involved in Prevezon knows Kushner and Trump for a long time. In fact Leviev was involved w Kushner in the NYT building in 2015. Trumps camp/family knew all these people for years
Same w Trump Tower Moscow. Trump has been attempting to launch Trump Tower Moscow since 1987 and other Trump projects in former Soviet countries decades. Although I think there is more to these projects w mafia officials than actual buildings. Probably more money laundering
Media should really focus on the well documented Russian mafia, spies, and oligarchs who used Trump Tower properties for decades to launder money and stage global criminal operations
