Today's News Yesterday

Back in August, readers here may remember a couple of articles I wrote about a fellow named Felix Sater, a Mafia-connected felon who has been a senior adviser to Trump in his real estate company.  (If you missed them,  you can read the articles here and here.)

Well...last night, Rachel Maddow opened her program with an 18-minute segment on Sater being interviewed by the House Intelligence Committee.  See what happens if you read these pages and have just a wee bit of patience?! 

The thing is, the story doesn't end there, because Republicans did a bit of maneuvering to keep Democratic members of the committee from talking to him, setting the interview for New York City, rather than Washington, and during the vote on the tax bill.  Yes, he's that explosive.  But then, that's what I said back in August.  Not to worry, as I wrote then, my understanding is that Robert Mueller has already talked to him.  And Sater is reported to have told friend and family that he's going to jail.  And that so is Trump.

Hey, as I always say, we tries nots to steers ya wrong.

I tried to embed the video from Maddow's show but for some reason it doesn't want to show up.  But you should be able to watch it by clicking here.  Highly recommended, since she does a very good job setting up the background of who Felix Sater is and his connections to Trump -- and the mob.  And to Russia.
