We don't know until we investigate further.

2. The story here is mostly IF this went on, as stated by Cohen (who should know) well into the Election cycle. There is NO DOUBT that Russia and Putin favored Trump for POTUS and there is no doubt that Russian intelligence services and Kremlin operatives worked hard to make that happen. We have sanctions against Russia for various other things also.

Chances are good that IF this went on into the Election Cycle, crimes were committed.

But I'll play your game too. Let's project that Trump gets away with all these crime and misunderstandings.....does that mean they are moral and ethical things?

What you think is moral and ethical maybe/is different from person to person.

Sounds like a lucky guy. Who wouldn't wanna stay in the penthouse?

Of course, this is only one of many "Russia ties" that may have made Trump and all of his circle so pro-Russia.

"The revelation that representatives of the Trump Organization planned to forge direct financial links with the leader of a hostile nation at the height of the campaign raises fresh questions about President Trump's relationship with the Kremlin"

"Cohen said in court documents that he regularly briefed Trump and his family on the Moscow negotiations."

This is part of what Cohen now admits to lying about - the talks went on long after he claimed they stopped....well into the Election cycle.

“My idea was to give a $50 million penthouse to Putin and charge $250 million more for the rest of the units. All the oligarchs would line up to live in the same building as Putin[/b].” A second source confirmed the plan

What do you mean "was getting" ? What stopped Putin from getting it ?
