| fatslob-:O said: 1) Why should I when most of these accusations are lead against Felix Sater ? When are you going to give actual evidence that shows a direct link between Trump and Russia ? You're literally teetering near a conspiracy theory and I don't like that ... 2) I did google and coincidentally I didn't find much other than that he owned thousands of acres of land and a few dozen slaves. Not someone who you would exactly call "poor" ... (So maybe 3 out of 10 presidents were good even if debt-ridden ? CNBC thinks Washington is worth over 500 million and over 200 million for Jefferson so I'm not sure where the idea of the founding fathers being poor is perpetuated.) 3) The reason why the Secret Service are renting out Trump's buildings is out of convenience, not requirement. They can choose to stay at Four Seasons Hotel which is just a block away meaning transitions in security shifts could be made just as quickly but for some reason they opted in to rent a few places at Trump Tower ... |
1) You can run through these and you'll also find that Sater is intimately linked to them, as well:

The Deep Capture piece is extremely extensive, but the Sater, Bayrock, etc. connections run deep to Madoff, Russian mafia (He's a boss's son.), naked short selling, pump-and-dump plays, murders, etc. We have mutual business associates, but most of these revalations were passed on to me as warnings about Sater: his connections with Trump were mentioned in passing and they are intimate. Anecdotal evidence never sounds great (See "console wars."), but I can tell you that this was verbally confirmed. I am personally concerned about that intimate connection and what it may portend, but I hope (I hope. I hope. I hope.) and choose to believe that it won't propagate.
2) On Washington, I should have linked this earlier:

3) Trump choosing to live in NY requires them to overspend. Also, it is not reasonable to expect them to live elsewhere than the 58-story tower Trump is living in: logistically, response time dictates that they be in the building. It's so extreme that they are discussing permanent closures of lanes on fifth avenue (!?!) for security reasons. That's "necessary" to ensure a secure envelope.
