Cohen says he met with Ivanka and Don Jr "about ten times" to discuss Moscow Trump Tower...

It sounds like they were pretty serious about it?

And why Don Jr and Ivanka and not Donald? Was it after the election?

Cohen never said much about Felix Sater, although he was leading the effort to get the Trump Tower in Moscow?

And Donald was attempting to get credit from Deutsch Bank to "make a bid" on the Buffalo Bills football team? Or was he going to use that credit for another purpose? Like buying the land to build the Moscow Trump Tower?

In my opinion, Cohen knew a lot about the Trump business but there was a lot he didn't know. For example, he did not think there was any "collusion" by Donald Trump but he said he overheard a phone call from Roger Stone saying that he had talked with Julian Assange and that they had something that was going to damage Hillary Clinton? That sounds like a contradictory statement. That sounds like "collusion".

Also, Rudy Giuliani had said in an interview on one of the cable news networks that the negotiations for the Trump Tower in Moscow may have gone on until October or November, up to Election Day in 2016? That sounds like some things may have been going on that Cohen did not know about?

First - Cohen said that he met with the kids AND that there were about 10 meetings on the Moscow Tower. My wife and I watched coverage last night and we agreed that the host (Erin) was connecting the two while those were two different questions.

Second - Rep. Rouda did ask about Salter. Cohen said Trump did know him well, Trump lies in a deposition about knowing Salter, and that Salter had a rent free office in Trump Tower in the same floor as Trump's main office.

I don't think Cohen was totally forthright in all he knew about the Trump Tower in Moscow. Just my impression.

" My wife and I watched coverage last night and we agreed that the host (Erin) was connecting the two while those were two different questions." ?? How so?

Been busy at work but I did try to find a transcript of his testimony- no luck.

There were two questions asked. One was if he discussed the Moscow Tower with the kids. The second one was how many meetings there were. #2 didn't directly relate to #1. That's what I'm saying.
