The NYT and Wapo are scooping each other
The Times reports that the Trump Org turned over emails to the House Intelligence Committee, and the Grey Lady dryly notes "Some of the emails were obtained by The Times."
Yes they were.
Cohen, Trump's lawyer, writes to Felix Sater,
Micheal we can own this story. Donald doesn't stare down, he negotiates and understands the economic issues and Putin only wants to deal with a pragmatic leader, and a successful business man is a good candidate for someone who knows how to negotiate. "Business, politics, whatever it is all the same for someone who knows how to deal"
Geez, that sounds like a recruiter who's bullish about a job candidate. He was pushing Trump to be Putin's boy in the White House. Somebody with whom Putin can "deal".
Business, politics, whatever it is all the same for these effing oligarchs.
