The Two Towers

1. Given @SethAbramson response to @DavidCornDC book excerpt this morning, I'd like to lay out an argument about Trump's Moscow dealings that may help that discussion. 2. The Trump Organization always had multiple projects going on. Felix Satter with MIchael Cohen, Trump Jr., and Trump himself pursued deals in Russia. The talks overlapped. None came to fruition because of the financial crisis (2008) and sanctions (2012).
