Longtime Trump business partner 'told family he knows he and POTUS are going to prison': report

Felix Sater, one of Donald Trump’s shadiest former business partners, is reportedly preparing for prison time — and he says the president will be joining him behind bars.

Sources told The Spectator‘s Paul Wood that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s deep dive into Trump’s business practices may be yielding results.

Trump recently made remarks that could point to a money laundering scheme, Wood reported. “I mean, it’s possible there’s a condo or something, so, you know, I sell a lot of condo units, and somebody from Russia buys a condo, who knows?” the president said.

Sater, who has a long history of legal troubles and is cooperating with law enforcement, was one of the major players responsible for selling Trump’s condos to the Russians. And according to Wood’s sources, Sater may have already flipped and given prosecutors the evidence they need to make a case against Trump.

1. K & R

[riversedge]

5. Most of this story seems to be coming from Paul Wood. Isn't Wood a nasty

Repug? If so, why is Woods putting this story out? I am confused.

[Squinch]

10. Some is from Sater himself to New York Magazine.

[riversedge]

14. True. yet i am puzzled by Wood. Oh well. Most things seem pretzeled to me lately.

[Squinch]

16. Absolutely. But what I am clutching to my heart, like a drowning woman to a lifeboat, is that 30-35

day timetable.

Oh please, please, please!

[Happyhippychick]

2. That would be delicious

[GusBob]

3. An acqaintance of mine got in serious trouble, like front page nationwide

His lawyer, whom I recommended to him, told him: " I am going to do everything in my power to help you, but right up front I am going to tell you this: be prepared to go to prison"

[lindysalsagal]

4. OH, HELL yes!

Mr. "The white house is a dump" will soon wonder what in the hell he was saying.

Let's hope Martha Stewart is available for prison advice: "Don, can you crochet?"

[LisaM]

51. Martha sucked it up, went to prison, made friends, and came out a better person.

I admire her for that. It's more than a lot of men in her position have done.

[lindysalsagal]

53. You are right. And, they prosecuted her for trying to be one of the boys.

She was a class act.

[Alice11111]

63. Look at what all of the men did who didnt go to prison.

Get the woman.

Also, remember how Trump fired her LOUDLY and insulted her daughter.

Poetic justice.

[lindysalsagal]

68. Yup. Lots of them trade with inside info.

I don't care for her, but I have to respect her.

[Alice11111]

78. Really, 'lots of them'

[LisaM]

77. Also remember how she said in 2000 she was a big Al Gore fan.

"Lock her up!"

[Alice11111]

79. I had forgotten that. Surprised they didn't put her in solitary

[Honeycombe8]

70. You got that right. Easy to see how she became so successful.

Everything is a challenge to make lemonade out of lemons.

[bullwinkle428]

6. I'd be willing to bet my 401k that the Orange Menace never sees the inside

of a prison cell. Maybe a few sacrificial lambs in his administration.

[riversedge]

15. I do not want to think that, but I fear you are right.

[defacto7]

22. People are forgetting the Pence pardon...

the personal pardon and the pretentious pardons on parade that are coming.

[WhiteTara]

54. Unless he goes down with Trump

In which case, no pardon there.

[defacto7]

57. Oh, if wishes be horses...

I'd be riding.. Here's hoping.

[louis-t]

60. Mueller should offer a deal to Pence.

Do not pardon Drumpf and we will not prosecute YOU.

[Dustlawyer]

69. Not if they get state court convictions!

The Federal crimes can be pardoned though.

[defacto7]

71. I really didn't know that for sure.

I think he's probably toast or he'll have to flee to Moscow.

[grantcart]

25. He will only go for state crimes

[Eyeball_Kid]

26. NYAG will indict on RICO.

If convicted, Trumpy and all of the RICO defendants will be subjected to seizure of their assets. All of them. And there is no pardon from anyone. Let's remember that Trumpy will also be on trial for human sex trafficking from NY through his Model Management agency. He's cooked. Maybe when he goes to a federal pen, he can construct a golf course on the grounds. Miniature golf. He can spend his days with a putter in his slimy hands.

[sarcasmo]

30. There is no pardon for a state crime. AG Schniderman RICO case is the best option.

[Chrysanthemum]

47. Prayers for Mr. Schneiderman

I hope Mr. Schneiderman has bodyguards...

[LiberalLovinLug]

59. I've heard this before so I researched

And found that State Governors have the same executive powers. A few states require a parole board to go along with it. Doesn't the US have a vast majority of States being run by Republicans? And those parole boards could also be stacked as well.

So unless they can nail him down for a crime committed in a Democratic run State, he will still get a pardon. And even if not, the next Republican governor or president will pardon him anyways. But it would be nice to see him spend at least a little while stewing in prison.

[flibbitygiblets]

72. Most of tRump's crimes would be in NY, where the Governor is Democratic Party

all NY governors have been Democrats since 1975 except one.

[PatSeg]

31. I think it is doubtful

that Trump would go to prison, but I also don't think health-wise he can survive the storm that is coming his way. He is a prime target for a stroke or heart attack. If it doesn't kill him, it could incapacitate him for the rest of his unnatural life. That could be worse than prison.

[CrispyQ]

43. I hope the worst for him.

I hope every remaining moment of his life is miserable.

[PatSeg]

44. May the man get everything he deserves

and then some! Meanwhile, he is creating an incredible legacy that will live long past him. We all know how much he loves fame. Be careful what you wish for.

[madokie]

67. Same here

I don't normally wish bad on anyone but I've made peace with myself on this

[NNadir]

65. Well consider how improbable it was that he'd be in the White House.

I'd love to see his fat ass die in prison in the cell next to Michael "Lock her up" Flynn's.

He's a criminal, pure and simple, and if any one deserves a Hotel DeMadoff room, it's him.

[jalan48]

7. Looks like Trump is being signaled by his own people-it's time to go Donald.

[FakeNoose]

34. Yes this is the sign we've been looking for

Even his "friends" are saying it. Doesn't mean Cheeto is listening though.

It's only a matter of time, and Mueller is already on the right path. Hope and resolve, my friend!

[gratuitous]

38. Perhaps the Almighty can send us a sign?

God, if it be your will, could you send us a sign that Trump is unfit for office and should be removed? Perhaps you could blot out the sun for a couple of minutes anytime in the next week or so?

[PatSeg]

45. That will work!

[Chrysanthemum]

48. LOL!!!

Good one.

[bdamomma]

8. I hope this happens

I have my fingers crossed on this.

[NewJeffCT]

9. I hope this is true

but, is this a reliable source?

Would love to see Trump, Pence, Trump Jr, Eric Trump, Kushner, Manafort and a slew of others behind bars.

[luvtheGWN]

17. Frankly, I think that the only thing that will save the USA

is for Trump's felonious and traitorous behaviour and actions to be exposed and for him and his partners in crime to be charged and convicted. Otherwise, all of this will be swept under the rug, the Repubs will continue to carry out their destructive policies and the Nazis and white supremacists will be further emboldened and turn the US into the same type of war zone that ISIS turned its countries into. And I strongly suspect that last weekend's events have spurred Mueller and his team on even harder and faster.

[TimeToGo]

20. ITA

[pangaia]

33. the Repubs will STILL continue to carry out their destructive policies.

no matter whom is president...

[Achilleaze]

11. republican business & family "values" are depraved & often criminal

Sleazeball republican thieves & TreasonWeasels & their hate-mongering KKKomrades ought to be locked up for the sake of the USA.

[jodymarie aimee]

12. Don

you have the best scoops..thank you.

[Books_Tea_Alone]

13. This.

I have no doubt they are all going to prison. Maybe a few will cut deals but there is no way those 16 attorneys left their high paying jobs to help Mueller for nothing. Team is going after the big fish and will bring him down. There are too shady illegal activities T.rump has engaged in over the years. Major criminal activities.

[cp]

18. Hard time

is what the Don deserves--without Secret Service protection.

[groundloop]

32. Speaking of Secret Service... it's gotta' suck knowing you're protecting a criminal

I just can't imagine knowing I'm putting my life on the line to protect a felon, if it were me I'd have resigned long ago.

[blaze]

50. I wonder how many assignments change from one administration to the next?

If you went from protecting President Obama to PINO... I'll bet a good many of them are echoing our own words and thoughts.

[Gamecock Lefty]

19. I just want to see a picture of him in handcuffs . . .

and then maybe Hillary can tweet - LOCK HIM UP!!!

[marylandblue]

21. I believe it, similar information has come out about Sater before

And he has a long history with DOJ. He does something illegal, gets caught, then gives evidence against his fellows in exchange for a lighter sentence. Some of Mueller's staff eorked on those cases. I don't think that's an accident.

[smirkymonkey]

23. Oh please let this be true!

At least get him out of the White House and shut him up!

[njhoneybadger]

24. C'mon Really, we're getting as gullible as fox watchers.

Your enemy is always trying to deceive you

[Rural_Progressive]

37. So you're saying that the emails that have been published

regarding dRump's SoHo irregularities in Vanity Fair have no substance? The fact that Mueller is closing in on dRump's family connections to fraudulent behavior is just so much smoke and mirrors? I guess we'll just have to wait and see, by the way, just which "enemy" are you talking about?

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/08/why-robert-mueller-has-trump-soho-in-his-sights

[progressoid]

40. Yeah, I'm not sure I trust The Spectator.

[LanternWaste]

52. What specifically are we getting deceived by

What specifically are we getting deceived by, and what evidence to have to support your premise?

[Initech]

27. Trump can tweet while he's wearing an orange jump suit!

[FakeNoose]

42. They're getting his prison cellphone ready now

Local calls only though.

[SweetieD]

28. I don't believe one word of this story.

[Grins]

29. "He will die in jail." - In an email from a member of the intell community, February 15, 2017.

"He will die in jail." - In an email from a member of the intelligence community to a former member, February 15, 2017.

Be still my heart....

[Motley13]

35. Could be the reason he is acting crazier & crazier & crazier

[AllyCat]

36. Please make this so.

I would so love to see this happen. it seems that they both belong there. After a fair trial of course.

[Chrysanthemum]

49. Of course

...with DJT defended by his simply *fabulous* legal team!

[Hekate]

39. KnR

[Enoki33]

41. I fear he will not go quietly. His last wall of defense is his Nazi

base which he is now openly cultivating to intimidate and to leave behind as much national destruction as possible when his crimes finally catch up with him. That simply is the type of evil person he is.

[onetexan]

58. let him go kicking and screaming, but he will not escape the long arm of the law

the rule of law is what differentiates a democracy and an arnachic state. As long as we the people don't let our country descend into chaos and the Judiciary does what it's supposed to do, he will not escape punishment.

[moondust]

46. Pardons for everybody!

On the house!

And that includes ME ME ME ME ME!

Hahahahaha, suckers!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gothmog]

55. Slater is dirty as heck

[red dog 1]

56. The Spectator?

"Sources told The Spectator's Paul Wood that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's deep dive into Trump's business practices may be yielding results."??

What "sources"?

The Spectator is an ultra-conservative British Newspaper.


Still, it "may" be true...(I hope it's true).

Kick for exposure.

[denbot]

61. I'll just drop a penny into this wishing well..

K&R

[Snarkoleptic]

62. Trump claimed to not know Sater.

Yet there's this-

And this must-read story from 4 days ago-
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/08/why-robert-mueller-has-trump-soho-in-his-sights
The Russian money trail leads right through the president’s troubled project in downtown Manhattan. A series of e-mails reveals new details.

[DeminPennswoods]

64. Andrew Weissman, a member of Mueller's team,

was the guy who dealt with Sater when Sater was a confidential informant for the FBI.

[Thor_MN]

66. I'll only be tired of winning when every last member of the GOP is stripped of assets

and sitting in prison.

[Angry Dragon]

73. Trump will have the bestest cell

[briv1016]

74. Doesn't matter what Mueller uncovers. The house will never vote to impeach.

They will never admit they were wrong.

[colsohlibgal]

75. I Hope He's Right!

It recalls Meryl Streep's line to movie hubby Bruce Willis, in "Death Becomes Her", as he threatens to kill her......."Do you know what they do to old soft white republicans in prison?".

[bucolic_frolic]

76. It's a remarkable claim

ex-President in prison? wow
