Sorry, not the man, but his company. I guess that somehow makes it better?But the sources don't say that at all.
Buzzfeed said:President Donald Trump’s company planned to give a $50 million penthouse at Trump Tower Moscow to Russian President Vladimir Putin as the company negotiated the luxury real estate development during the 2016 campaign, according to four people, one of them the originator of the plan.
Trump is not the type of politician who even needs leaks to happen, if you want evidence then you just have to pay close attention and what may or may not be said subtly.Wikileaks doesn't publish anything on Trump
So Wikileaks doesn't need to exist? Their purpose was supposed to be giving transparency to governments that lacked it, but if they simply pick and choose which administrations to leak info on, then they're useless. Just another organization full of partisan hacks who want to deliver, at most, half of the story.Trump is not the type of politician who even needs leaks to happen, if you want evidence then you just have to pay close attention and what may or may not be said subtly.
Same applies to other politicians, tbh.
Oh I'm very aware, but supporters aren't your target audience for leaks. It's everybody else who knows how to think rationally.Trump supporters believe in what he says rather than what he will actually do.
That's reasonable, no trust without verification. That same standard needs to apply to everyone, though, not exclude individuals who lie with every word. In fact we probably need greater scrutiny for those individuals, because otherwise we'll never get to the truth buried under all those lies.Trusting a politician/political party is a mistake many do and assume they're on the "correct" party.
For example, I'm in favor of Britain's Brexit but not for a second do I trust their "Conservative" party.
Well it's very disingenuous to say "his company", when it was only one man (Michael Cohen) who was spitballing the idea.Sorry, not the man, but his company. I guess that somehow makes it better?
C'mon dude, he was Trump's lawyer. He didn't make any moves without Trump asking him to or at least knowing about it.Well it's very disingenuous to say "his company", when it was only one man (Michael Cohen) who was spitballing the idea.
Buzzfeed said:Cohen acknowledged in court that he had lied to Congress about the plan in order to protect Trump and his presidential campaign.

I know, I'm humoring him at this point, but I wouldn't trust Buzzfeed to tell me the time of dayI like how buzzfeed is being used as a trusted source here.
The crime isn't necessarily that the building was being planned, but that all of this was being planned during the campaign AND everybody lied about it. Cohen literally implicated Trump as part of all this, and he was the one who clarified Trump to be 'Individual 1' in legal documents.They were Cohen had the idea to give one apartment to Putin, so that the rest of the rich people there would cream themselves thinking they could live like Putin and buy the apartments there, leading to a net profit. The headline is bullshit, you can even look in the article itself. Felix Sater came up with the idea, Cohen said it was a good idea. You can either see this two ways. If you believe in the conspiracy theory that Trump and Putin are linked politically, then this looks odd, but if you realize that The Trump Organization is a for-profit business, this isn't weird at all.
Anyways we'll see, but trying to sell real estate isn't a crime.
The source isn't Buzzfeed, it's just their article. Here are several more outlets with articles about the same thing:I like how buzzfeed is being used as a trusted source here.
They don't list Buzzfeed as the source, only credit their report as the first. Not even Buzzfeed lists themselves as the source. Everybody always wants to credit the first place to report on something.You should check those sources because all of them list buzzfeed as the source.

Two unnamed law enforcement officers, Michael Cohen who is now under threat of perjury and plea deals being dropped, and Felix Sater, the architect of the plan. Sources don't get any more primary than that.Buzzfeed was the one who ran that news story first, they claim the unnamed sources told them "X"
Then every other news organization used buzzfeed as the source because they are the only source
The evidence they’ve (Buzzfeed) presented are screenshots of texts between Cohen and Felix Sater. Are you suggesting these allegations are disregarded? What is the end game to your stance and why?Buzzfeed was the one who ran that news story first, they claim the unnamed sources told them "X"

So um..., confirmed?
Lol yeah, whenever you need anything confirmed in relation to Trump just wait a couple days for him to tweet about it. Since he thinks "everybody knew about it" is a valid legal defense instead of just a lie on top of a lie.So um..., confirmed?
This entire thing is based on a foreign government worker staying at his hotel, which they're trying to spin as an emolument.Meanwhile, two attorneys general are subpoenaing records from the Trump Organization and the IRS.
