Felix Sater's emails look pretty damn damning

http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_59a44902e4b0821444c4ea4c?ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009

“Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it,” Sater wrote. “I will get all of Putins [sic] team to buy in on this, I will manage this process.”

I will get Putin on this program and we will get Donald elected,” another email said, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The deal in Moscow, spearheaded in 2015 while Trump was already running for president, was originally reported by The Washington Post on Sunday.

and he said that so much of what we are finding is "out of the norm" but not necessarily "against the law". So Mueller is aware of it but it may not be a crime. Sort of like the pardon of Shithead Joe.

He gets away with everything with the support of the GOP cabinet and Congress.

Rather more a distraction than anything, since this is not illegal conduct.

focused and rational then. It is interesting how he can turn it on and off (consciously or not I do not know).

of US law, or that he's an unbiased observer.

I'm betting Mueller will leave no stone unturned.

You remember that huge chemical disaster a few years ago in West Virginia, when Freedom Industries dumped 7500 gallons of MCHM into the Elk River? MCHM is coal soap.

Of people planning a bank robbery. This kills any defense they may of had. No more coincidences. Just intent and a plan how to achieve their goal.

If he's feeding the FBI evidence of Trump's and Trumpco's crimes in return for immunity or a reduced sentence, Trump is indeed a lame duck.
