Felix Sater and Kamala Harris?

I saw on Reddit that there was a photo on Felix Sater's Twitter account that showed he and Harris together yesterday. He made a cryptic comment about it: "Lunch turned out to be very interesting. I’m glad she didn’t recognize me." (Sorry for the small picture, but if you click on it, it will get bigger)

Sater is a very interesting character, and has had a lot of dealings with the Trump organization and Trump as president. He's also a friend since childhood of Michael Cohen. I don't know what this all means, but it's interesting...

Wikipedia says that he is a "Russian-American mobster, convicted felon, real estate developer and former managing director of Bayrock Group LLC, a real estate conglomerate based out of New York City. He has been an advisor to corporations such as The Trump Organization, and the Mirax Group.

In 1998, Sater pleaded guilty to his involvement in a $40 million stock fraud scheme orchestrated by the Russian Mafia, and became an informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and federal prosecutors, assisting with organized crime investigations. In 2017, Sater agreed to cooperate with investigators into international money laundering schemes."

If you look, you'll find him photographed with everyone under the sun. That doesn't mean this isn't an important or interesting thread. It could be.

However, it's difficult to make a comment on it because Sater is so all over the place.

Anthony Andrews has investigated and has turned this up:

Much information on what this could be about, but I personally cannot draw any conclusions, although I spent quite a bit of time reading on it.

Re this photo, Kamala was celebrating Valentine's Day and Sater was also in the restaurant. It sounds like he's an attention hound who was able to get her to pose with him, similar to how he got Clinton to pose with him. Admittedly, Sater did some important things for the U.S. gov't, such as providing the phone number that got bin Laden off the planet, but it's hard to say where his loyalties lie or what if anything this means.

This guy is a mass of contradictions. And you're right, definitely a photo/attention addict.
