| Insidb said: 1) You can run through these and you'll also find that Sater is intimately linked to them, as well: https://ig.ft.com/sites/trumps-russian-connections/ 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: http://andthenwesaved.com/even-presidents-go-broke/
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. http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2014/10/14/no-washington-dc-is-not-more-expensive-than-new-york-city/ |
1) I don't have a subscription to see that article ...
Furthermore after doing more research, Trump's connection to Russia is tenuous at best. The only dirt you have is that Felix Sater was born in Russia and his connections to his birth country are murky as hell. How much in contact has Trump been with Felix lately ? Moreover, does Felix Sater have any contacts that are russian government officials or prominent figures which are known to have relationships with the russian government ? (I am quickly losing faith that Trump's connection to Russia can be reasoned with at this point. Hence why FBI hasn't found shit so far.)
2) Did the author even bother cross referencing the information about each president's net worth during their troubles ? Cause everybody else seems to think that Geroge Washington and Thomas Jefferson we're valued over hundreds of millions. The only consensus that I can get is that Thomas Jefferson only struggled with debt post-presidency wise so his wealth wasn't a cause of concern for conflicts of interest during his tenure since he had high equity in office ...
Did their personal debt raise a serious issue when they could opt in to barter and sell their thousands of acres of land ? (It's not looking like the best presidents were dirt poor with tons of debt ...)
3) It's not necessary for the secret service to rent out Trump Tower, they all have shifts y'know so that they can perform their duties in an optimal condition. I don't think running one block away is the end of the world if the president and his guards were facing a massive coordinated attack ...
