"Felix Sater, boy, I have to even think about it."
Only six months left!

First of all, congratulations to Rosalind Helderman and Tom Hamburger of The Washington Post. This is a newspaper lead to die for.
On the 24th floor of Trump Tower, in an office two floors below Donald Trump, Felix Sater was trying to revive his career.
The Russian-born businessman had already done a stint in prison for stabbing a man in the face with the stem of a margarita glass, and he was now awaiting sentencing for his role in a Mafia-orchestrated stock fraud scheme—all the while serving as a government informant on the mob and mysterious matters of national security.
It's "margarita glass" that makes it art, by the way.
Ladies and gentlemen, the running buddy of your presumptive presidential nominee.
Trump has repeatedly said he barely remembers Sater. In sworn testimony in 2013, Trump said he wouldn't recognize Sater if they were sitting in the same room. In an interview last year with the Associated Press, he said, "Felix Sater, boy, I have to even think about it."
Sater, in previously unreported sworn testimony reviewed by The Washington Post, described a closer relationship. Sater said he popped into Trump's office frequently over a six-year period to talk business.
He recalled flying to Colorado with Trump and said that Trump once asked him to escort his children Donald Jr. and Ivanka around Moscow.
Sater's account, which came during a deposition in a libel case Trump brought against a book author, offers new insights into Trump's relationship with a complicated figure.
Sater has both been accused by former business associates of threatening to kill them and praised by top government officials for information that has led to numerous mob convictions and national security gains.
There is going to be a lot of this over the next six months and, of course, it's a pick 'em whether or not the elite political media simply gets numb to it and forgets to do its job.
Of course, He, Trump doesn't care because, dammit, he has all the best friends. Like that Alex Jones guy on the radio. He's got the 411 on everything because…oh, hell, even I can't go on with this.

This campaign is like a giant catch basin for all the worst things in American culture, let alone American politics. The freak flags flying have begun to blot out the sky.
