Michael Cohen set up by Felix Sater; who is this guy and what else does he know???
Today Michael Cohen said he previously lied under oath. Why did he change his story? Probably because he was coerced into it by Mueller. Nothing he admitted to (mostly tax evasion) had anything to do with Trump-Russia collusion. But the MSM are trying to make much of the fact that Trump “associated” with Cohen, along with another even less savory character, Felix Sater. It doesn’t take much investigating to discover that is was Sater,a real estate developer, who tried to convince Trump—through Cohen—to build a hotel in Moscow around 2015.
Sater apparently did work for Trump (although Trump barely recalls the guy)—he hires a lot of guys. But Sater had an “in” with Cohen, a longtime childhood friend. According to Buzzfeed—who seems to be following this guy pretty closely—Sater is a pretty unsavory character:
"The two men had known each other since they were roughneck teenagers hanging out in Brooklyn. Sater, who was born in the Soviet Union and came to the US when he was 6, became a stockbroker, lost his license after a bar brawl, then helped scam investors out of $40 million in a stock fraud. He escaped prison time for that crime by becoming a valuable confidential source for US intelligence agencies and the FBI, doing everything from locating al-Qaeda training camps to spying on Russia's military-industrial complex to going undercover to catch cybercriminals."

SATER MAY BE WORTH A DIGG.
Why? Because he's not your average real estate developer. He works as a very high-level intel asset with his hands in a lot of dark places. So he may lead us to other deals and other swamp creatures (see pic with Bill C above).
After he got caught scamming people out of millions of dollars in the 90s, he not only never went to jail but never had to pay back a dime to the investors he bilked. This was his records were sealed, so they were never told the government had found the culprit. This came up when Loretta Lynch was nominated for AG, because it was her office in Eastern NY that was responsible for sealing his records. Why? Lynch told Congress: “He provided information crucial to national security.”

Tracy Beanz has been researching Sater for a year and has a lot of info and his connections to intel assets; see today’s livestream, info rich with many links.
