There is no evidence that Carter played any role in the Rosneft deal. But he was back in Moscow on December 8 — one day after the deal was signed — to "meet with some of the top managers" of Rosneft, he told reporters at the time. Page denied meeting with Sechin, Rosneft's CEO, during that trip but said it would have been "a great honor" if he had.

The Rosneft deal, Page added, was "a good example of how American private companies are unfortunately limited to a great degree due to the influence of sanctions." He said the US and Russia had entered "a new era" of relations but that it was still "too early" to discuss whether Trump would be easing or lifting sanctions on Moscow.

Page's extensive business ties to state-owned Russian companies were investigated by a counterintelligence task force set up last year by the CIA. The investigation, which is reportedly ongoing, has examined whether Russia was funneling money into Trump's presidential campaign — and, if it was, who was serving as the liaison between the Trump team and the Kremlin.

The dossier claims that Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort asked Page to be the liaison. That claim has not been verified. Manafort served as a top adviser to a pro-Russian political party in Ukraine from 2004 to 2012 and emerged as a central figure in both the dossier and the intelligence community's early inquiries into Trump's ties to Russia.

In 1991, during an argument with a commodities broker in a Manhattan restaurant, authorities said Sater stabbed a man in the cheek and neck with the stem of a margarita glass. He served a year on first-degree assault in the city jail system.

Sounds like a nice guy. The weird thing is that -- despite Sater's seemingly close relationship with the future president of the United States -- Trump has explicitly gone out of his way to practically deny that he knows Sater at all:

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.”

That paragraph, by the way, comes from a 2016 Washington Post article that's illustrated with a 2007 picture of Trump at a groundbreaking with Sater and one of the Russian native's business associates. But when it comes to Russia and the political and business dealings of Trump and his associates, memories suddenly go kablooey. Lawyer Cohen has changed his story about his dealings with Sater, the Ukranian political figure. and the ousted Flynn a grand total of four times so far. And of course Flynn lost his job over lying about his own dealings with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. (one of a shrinking number of Russian characters in this drama who has NOT dropped dead of a sudden heart attack, but I digress...)

More importantly, the Sater saga seems to raise serious questions about Trump's claims -- repeated emphatically in last week's stemwinder of a 77-minute press conference -- that he has no business dealings with Russia whatsoever. And it again begs the great unanswered question from the 2016 campaign, of why Trump broke with tradition to keep his income tax returns secret from the American people.

It certainly appears that throughout the 2000s -- when  Trump looked more like a 1980s has-been than a future leader of the free world -- that he was kept afloat by his reality-show paycheck, transparent scams like Trump University, licensing his name in various overseas kleptocracies and perhaps through his dealings with Sater and others with high-up Russian connections. Indeed, Donald Trump Jr. said as recently as 2008 that "we see a lot of money pouring in from Russia." What does President Trump owe to his friends in Moscow in return? We don't know -- and what else don't we know about the man who's been our president for just over a month? Just like in 1990, the "successful billionaire" that won the hearts of Rust Belt voters in November 2016 again may not be exactly who he says he is.

Baby steps...

 

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said Wednesday she wants former national security adviser Michael Flynn to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is investigating ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Collins, a member of the intelligence panel, also said campaign officials have been asked to preserve all records that might be relevant to the investigation.
