    Default Trump tapped felon as senior adviser

    GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump appointed a senior adviser involved in a stock fraud scheme with mafia ties, according to a Friday report from The Associated Press.

    Felix Sater reportedly conducted business with the real estate tycoon after his links with organized crime emerged publicly in 2007. Trump lawyer Alan Garten told the AP that Sater prospected high-end real estate deals for The Trump Organization. The partnership lasted just six months, he added.

    Sater pleaded guilty in 1998 to one count of racketeering for his role in a $40 million stock fraud scheme involving the Genovese and Bonanno mafia families, AP reports. Insiders allegedly manipulated the price of obscure stocks before selling them at inflated prices to unaware investors. Sater also received more than a year in prison in 1993 for stabbing a man’s face with a broken margarita glass...

    Sater refused to comment on his past association with Trump. Obviously a Donald-and-the-bad-guy piece is not interesting for me to participate in,” he wrote in an email. Trump, for his part, argued he did not have personal intimacy with the stock fraud felon and former mafia informant.

    “Felix Sater, boy, I have to even think about it,” he said, referring questions about Sater to his aides. "I’m not that familiar with him.”

    He is. Felix Sater was born in Moscow, Soviet Union on March 2, 1966 to parents Mikhail and Rachel Sater.

    Curiouser and curiouser.

    So as long as he wasn't running for something it was okay to employ a fraudster with Mafia ties?

    You're such a gullible dope.



    A few days later, Garten confirmed the authenticity of Sater’s Trump business card with the “senior advisor” title which included a Trump Organization email address and phone number.

    Even though the man, Felix Sater, had played a role in a number of high-profile Trump-branded projects across the country.
    “If he were sitting in the room right now, I really wouldn't know what he looked like,” Trump testified in a video deposition for a civil lawsuit two years ago.

    Trump is an effing liar. Pathological. I watched his interview on ABC This Week just moments ago. Nearly every sentence out of his mouth was a lie. It was stunning. I just put my hands on my head at one point. I almost couldn't believe what I was seeing.

    Then you come here and the 2" club is jerking off over Hillary being "dishonest".

    Now, I'm sorry, but no normal person can justify this. Is it misogyny? That plays a huge role. Is it white anxiety? That plays a big role. It's all about hate whatever it is. It's sick. Sick.

    This is the single most dangerous and abnormal (abnormal in the fullest sense of that word) person ever to come close to the White House and the 2" dick club is rooting him on while slandering his perfectly normal and uniquely qualified opponent.

    Sick. They'll destroy this country just to show the bitches. They'll do it. And they'll smile while they do it.

    I love the sound of liberal tears dropping on the floor, early in the morning.

    I don't know why Trumps past association with a felon should hurt him politically....Hillary is married to a non-convicted felon and shes doing ok.....
    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.
