WASHINGTON — Before Donald Trump's lawyer was pitching the Kremlin on building a Trump Tower in Moscow, the future president was negotiating to put his name on a building in a separate glitzy real estate development outside the Russian capital.

The Russians dubbed the proposed suburban development "Manhattan," and a "Trump Tower" would have been its centerpiece, according to congressional testimony and news reports.

Trump's partner in this earlier project was Aras Agalarov, an oligarch with close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the same man whose promise of dirt on Hillary Clinton set in motion the infamous June 2016 meeting at the original Trump Tower in New York.

Two Congressional aides told NBC News the Agalarov project is now drawing new scrutiny from House and Senate investigators in the wake of the revelation in court documents that Trump lawyer Michael Cohen lied to Congress about his dealings on a separate, competing Russia real estate project. Cohen was also negotiating to build a Trump Tower in a separate part of the city.

2. Only to cover it up!

The gop "leaders" are compromised by Russian money, and/or blackmail. They are fooling themselves if they think we are unaware of this fact. McConnell, Graham, Rubio and Kasich all took that tainted blackmail cash from Russia. Remember this when they run for the WH in 2020.

3. THIS

They no longer have the services of Nunes on the House side to steal the documents and provide to them and the WH since he has been neutralized, rendered toothless, and is now useless due to the election.
