That's actually a walk-back from the Buzzfeed story, but don't tell Kyle, K?

As long as there was nothing promised in return for a gift like that, is something like that even that unheard of for a country like Russia?

If nothing was promised in return, then is it even wrong?

Hell, at that time I don't think Trump, Putin, or anyone else even thought Trump had a snowballs chance in hell at beating Hillary.

It wasn't even proposed. Geezer's buzzfeed tweet reads: "The Trump Organization planned to give a $50 million penthouse at Trump Tower Moscow to Vladimir Putin during the 2016 campaign."

This is patent bullshit. The ABC story confirms that this was hopeful daydreaming between two people associated with Trump. There was no "plan," and certainly the "Trump organization" was not involved.

All of which takes me back to my original post on the subject:

No one has reported that it was or wasn't proposed. Assuming that it wasn't proposed simply because the story is only about it being discussed is as silly as assuming that it was.

Maybe it was proposed and proof if that simply hasn't been found. The ABC reports that the liars claim it was only hopeful daydreaming. Everyone involved is and has been lying about everything. Assuming they are finally providing the whole truth is foolish.

Obtuse attempts to defend Trump while trying to maintain plausible deniability for doing so is what DC does because, what else is he going to do, promote republican supply side economics?

Is there a report/article/interview out there somewhere that explicitly proves that someone did not make the offer of the Penthouse directly to a Russian official? Not releasing any proof of it at this time doesn't mean that it didn't happen. That's all I am saying.

A. The entire project itself was a non-starter. "The project never even got past a non-binding letter of intent. It never went anywhere." And it had very little to do with Trump in the first place.

B. The emails and texts were sent between Sater and Cohen, and indeed, Sater is the source for Buzzfeed's story. Sater was the man behind the entire project, but didn't even represent Trump. He represented Baycock, which wanted to build the tower and simply brand it with Trump's name. Moreover, the texts and emails show that Cohen didn't have any channels to the Kremlin and had to send emails to the press secretary's general press inquiries email.

C. Part of Cohen's testimony, which was NOT disputed by Mueller, was that Trump never had any discussions with anyone else about the entire project other than Cohen. Sater's Congressional testimony -- and his account, which is Buzzfeed's story -- is that the whole Putin-Trump partnership was his own attempt at "puffery."

That is akin to expecting someone to be required to prove a negative. Someone tell me: How can it be proved that someone did not do something?

Cohen?

You mean that dude Trump threw under bus on Twitter all day about how he’s a crook who deserves prison?

(Never mind the fact he was the dude’s personal lawyer for the past like 12 years)

And Trump spoke of him like his best friend for the last 2 years.
