1. Mueller indicts 13 Russian troll farms thinking they won't show up to court.

2. Russians show up to court.

3. Mueller's team asks for more time. (:lol)

5. Now Mueller has to share his "evidence" with the Russian lawyers (:lol)

calling people you disagree with traitors is weak sauce, tbh

No. People who root for other countries, hostile adversaries above theirs, who have launched attacks on their country is treasonous. Fuck em. You may not agree. Do not care. Party affiliations should not stand in the way of acknowledging potential criminal wrongdoing, especially when it comes to national security. I don't give a damn about "owning" a party. I want accountability no matter where the chips fall. Yes, liberals were involved in this as well. The rule of law is more important than deflecting the truth.

[Winehole23]

What about the the specific entities indictedthe troll farms and such?

[Winehole23]

I can see the rhetorical appeal of that, perhaps the legal underpinning gives it a bit of color.

The US has meddled in scores of foreign elections; does that make people in those countries who cheer for the US traitors in their own?

[Winehole23]

[Spurminator]

Treason/traitorous implies a more than negligible importance to a specific person's loyalty. I doubt any SpursTalker here has the kind of influence to qualify as a traitor.

Pathetic loser? Absolutely.

so, Spurstalkers who cheer for Russia are traitors and should be prosecuted for "launching attacks on their own country"?

One of the points I've observed here is that rightwingnutjob/gun-fellator sheeple think politics is a sport, or a cult, and fan/cult loyalty is the highest virtue, no matter WTF the team/cult is saying (to be followed reflexively like good sheeple) or doing.

Trash has certainly exposed his base and the 80% of Repugs who STILL approve of him.

I thought it was Repug racism when Repug pols and Repug supporters were clearly trashing their hated knitter Obama while preferring, praising white Putin (who is also a Repug-compatible racist, LGBT-hater, etc).

Now we see that Putin and HIS mafiya have been (trying to) compromising Repugs for years, apart from Repug racism.

Seeing that Putin is a military, economic, America-attacking enemy, the Repugs are fucking TRAITORS to America just as they are traitors to the Common Good by whoring themselves to the oligarchy.

House Republicans are literally trying to 'break' the law—as in cripple the DOJ and FBI (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/5/11/1763603/-House-Republicans-are-literally-trying-to-break-the-law-as-in-cripple-the-DOJ-and-FBI)

Freedom Caucus chair Mark Meadows's new tact is to push for a federal audit of Robert Mueller under the guise of oversight in order to get an unredacted copy of the "scope memo," which lays out the boundaries of his Russia investigation.

The Washington Postwrites (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2018/05/10/in-bid-to-reveal-secret-memo-meadows-plans-to-seek-federal-audit-of-mueller-probe/?utm_term=.f854dd7888ce):

Meadows, speaking Thursday during a taping of C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” that is to air Sunday, said he believed the audit is required under federal law and could not be completed without an unredacted copy of the memo written in August 2017 (https://www.washingtonpost.com/apps/g/page/politics/newly-disclosed-justice-department-memo-authorized-special-counsel-scope/2297/) by Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein. [...]

Meadows and fellow Freedom Caucus member Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) has pushed for weeks to get unfettered access to the memo, but the Justice Department has so far refused them access.

As the New York Times reported (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/02/us/politics/trump-justice-department-house-republicans.html) a couple weeks ago:
Mr. Rosenstein and top F.B.I. officials have come to suspect that some lawmakers were using their oversight authority to gain intelligence about that investigation so that it could be shared with the White House.

Meadows’s latest bid to undermine the probe is part of a battery of outright assaults Republicans have unleashed on the Justice Department, the FBI and the Mueller investigation.

Meadows, House Intelligence Chair Devin Nunes, and their compatriots have threatened both Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and also Russia-recused Attorney General Jeff Sessions with being held in contempt of Congress (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/5/7/1762625/-Nunes-threatens-to-hold-Sessions-in-contempt-for-not-turning-over-documents-he-doesn-t-even-read) and impeached.

This complete and total breakdown of oversight norms, practices and cooperation

between lawmakers and our nation’s top law enforcement agencies has taken place

with the explicit backing of House Speaker Paul Ryan,

who sided with Nunes & Co. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/nunes-confrontation-with-justice-department-appears-to-ease/2018/05/10/155f6c42-548f-11e8-a551-5b648abe29ef_story.html?utm_term=.2b481d5b31a7) yet again this week.


Ryan said he thought the Justice Department should have answered Nunes’s questions on the matter much earlier.

“This request is perfectly appropriate within the scope of the committee’s investigation, and I hope and believe and expect that they’ll be complied with.”


History should never forget the corrupt governing practices Paul Ryan presided over during his short time as speaker, and

the long-lasting harm he has done to the institution he took an oath to lead and the country he swore to protect.

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/1763603

About That FBI ‘Source’

The Department of Justice lost its latest battle with Congress Thursday when it agreed to brief House Intelligence Committee members about a top-secret intelligence source that was part of the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign. Even without official confirmation of that source’s name, the news so far holds some stunning implications.

Among them is that the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation outright hid critical information from a congressional investigation. In a Thursday press conference, Speaker Paul Ryan bluntly noted that Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes’s request for details on this secret source was “wholly appropriate,” “completely within the scope” of the committee’s long-running FBI investigation, and “something that probably should have been answered a while ago.” Translation: The department knew full well it should have turned this material over to congressional investigators last year, but instead deliberately concealed it.

House investigators nonetheless sniffed out a name, and Mr. Nunes in recent weeks issued a letter and a subpoena demanding more details. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s response was to double down—accusing the House of “extortion” and delivering a speech in which he claimed that “declining to open the FBI’s files to review” is a constitutional “duty.” Justice asked the White House to back its stonewall. And it even began spinning that daddy of all superspook arguments—that revealing any detail about this particular asset could result in “loss of human lives.”

This is desperation, and it strongly suggests that whatever is in these files is going to prove very uncomfortable to the FBI.

The bureau already has some explaining to do. Thanks to the Washington Post’s unnamed law-enforcement leakers, we know Mr. Nunes’s request deals with a “top secret intelligence source” of the FBI and CIA, who is a U.S. citizen and who was involved in the Russia collusion probe. When government agencies refer to sources, they mean people who appear to be average citizens but use their profession or contacts to spy for the agency. Ergo, we might take this to mean that the FBI secretly had a person on the payroll who used his or her non-FBI credentials to interact in some capacity with the Trump campaign.

This would amount to spying, and it is hugely disconcerting. It would also be a major escalation from the electronic surveillance we already knew about, which was bad enough. Obama political appointees rampantly “unmasked” Trump campaign officials to monitor their conversations, while the FBI played dirty with its surveillance warrant against Carter Page, failing to tell the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that its supporting information came from the Hillary Clinton campaign. Now we find it may have also been rolling out human intelligence, John Le Carré style, to infiltrate the Trump campaign.

Which would lead to another big question for the FBI: When? The bureau has been doggedly sticking with its story that a tip in July 2016 about the drunken ramblings of George Papadopoulos launched its counterintelligence probe. Still, the players in this affair—the FBI, former Director Jim Comey, the Steele dossier authors—have been suspiciously vague on the key moments leading up to that launch date. When precisely was the Steele dossier delivered to the FBI? When precisely did the Papadopoulos information come in?

And to the point, when precisely was this human source operating? Because if it was prior to that infamous Papadopoulos tip, then the FBI isn’t being straight. It would mean the bureau was spying on the Trump campaign prior to that moment. And that in turn would mean that the FBI had been spurred to act on the basis of something other than a junior campaign aide’s loose lips.

We also know that among the Justice Department’s stated reasons for not complying with the Nunes subpoena was its worry that to do so might damage international relationships. This suggests the “source” may be overseas, have ties to foreign intelligence, or both. That’s notable, given the highly suspicious role foreigners have played in this escapade. It was an Australian diplomat who reported the Papadopoulos conversation. Dossier author Christopher Steele is British, used to work for MI6, and retains ties to that spy agency as well as to a network of former spooks. It was a former British diplomat who tipped off Sen. John McCain to the dossier. How this “top secret” source fits into this puzzle could matter deeply.

I believe I know the name of the informant, but my intelligence sources did not provide it to me and refuse to confirm it. It would therefore be irresponsible to publish it. But what is clear is that we’ve barely scratched the surface of the FBI’s 2016 behavior, and the country will never get the straight story until President Trump moves to declassify everything possible. It’s time to rip off the Band-Aid.

Correction
The FBI briefed House Intelligence Committee members about a top-secret intelligence source but did not allow them to see documents. An earlier version of this article misstated this.

IF TRUMP IS LAUNDERING RUSSIAN MONEY, HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

FOR DONALD TRUMP, there was the purchase of the $12.6 million Scottish estate and the $79.7 million for golf courses in the United Kingdom, not to mention the $16.2 million for the Northern Virginia Winery. All in cash.

For Michael Cohen, it was the lucrative day in 2014 when he sold four Manhattan buildings for $32 million—three times what he’d paid for them less than three years before.

The subtext of many of the recent tales—from Donald Trump’s massive cash-spending spree (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/as-the-king-of-debt-trump-borrowed-to-build-his-empire-then-he-began-spending-hundreds-of-millions-in-cash/2018/05/05/28fe54b4-44c4-11e8-8569-26fda6b404c7_story.html?utm_term=.f2c4329ff292) to Cohen’s $32 million flip (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/05/business/michael-cohen-lawyer-trump.html) of New York real estate—is that the atypical transactions are worthy of greater scrutiny.

After all,

why was the self-proclaimed “King of Debt (https://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/trump-king-of-debt-224642)” suddenly waist-deep in cash and on a spending spree in the midst of the global real estate crash?

Where was Cohen’s money coming from—and where was it going?

"Many of the activities, when viewed in aggregate, point to a deliberate attempt to create opacity,”

“When you take two steps back, you see a murkiness and level of complexity with which the Cohen and Trump companies have operated—

what are they hiding?

Why are secondary and tertiary entities signing under pseudonyms and ‘cover' names?

Truly legitimate, transparent companies don’t need to do that.

Does this point to corruption and/or conspiracy?

It certainly looks that way!

Are all activities pointing to specific money laundering transactions? Not necessarily.”

the pattern of activity points to an attempt to evade one of the basic precepts of modern banking and anti-money-laundering efforts:

Know your customer.

“What we call ‘covered institutions,’ that’s any financial institution overseen by US financial regulations,

they have to have a comprehensive anti-money-laundering regime.

It basically come down to one central question:

Do you know your customer?

Who’s behind the account,

who has control over an entity or can facilitate transactions on its behalf,

what are its sources of funds, and

what is the normal, expected nature of its business or pattern of activity for that person or entity?"

“Financial institutions are mandated to collect all this data on its customers, but up until now, financial institutions have not had to do the same for companies,”

“Donald Trump owns a helicopter in Scotland.

To be more precise,

he has a revocable trust that owns 99 percent of a Delaware limited liability company

that owns 99 percent of another Delaware LLC

that owns a Scottish limited company

that owns another Scottish company

that owns the 26-year-old Sikorsky S-76B helicopter,

emblazoned with a red ‘TRUMP’ on the side of its fuselage.”

All told, the Journal reported, 15 entities were used at that point to “own” Trump’s fleet of two airplanes and three helicopters.

Layer on layer of corporate structure makes it hard for investigators, tax officials, or prying lawyers to figure out who owns what,

A Section 311 designation was meant to help authorities highlight suspicious patterns of activity without having to prove any single transaction was illegal—it’s the rough equivalent for money laundering of the criminal RICO statute,

“We deliberately put these tools together to go after really bad people—organized crime, terrorists, dictators, Chinese Triads,”

if what we have seen with Michael Cohen’s business dealings existed anywhere overseas,

where it intersected with an investigation or a politically exposed person or national security issue of import to the US,

it would ring all sorts of alarm bells at Treasury. :lol but Treasury is run by a Repug who "forgot" to declare he had $100M offshore! :lol

What seems to be continually revealed is a pattern of atypical financial transactions, and

too much of it seems structured specifically to hide and evade critical information or people involved.

Money laundering is a huge—literally physically huge—problem:

Illicit drug sales in the United States alone are estimated at around $60 billion to $100 billion a year, which translates, Cassara says, into about

20 million physical pounds of currency, far too much to be moved easily or spent easily.

“The bad guys have a logistics issue. They want to try to get into a bank or nonbank financial institution, so they can spend it,”

Manafort’s scheme—which Mueller’s team says involved more than $18 million, funneled through entities that included oriental rug shops just a few miles from the Treasury Department itself—ran undetected and unprosecuted for so long.

money launderers have to be incredibly stupid or incredibly unlucky to be caught.

“Since 9/11, the amount of financial intelligence has grown exponentially, so bad guys are taking steps to evade those efforts,”

what’s the point of buying, say, $934,350 in oriental rugs (http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/10/30/paul_manafort_allegedly_spent_934_350_on_rugs_how_ is_that_possible.html)(as Manafort is alleged to have done)

Step 1: Placement

Step 2: Layering

Step 3: Integration

That so many of the transactions and behaviors of the Trump business empire and Michael Cohen’s empire appear to hew so closely to the well-known patterns and stages of money laundering deeply troubles Sharma.

“It falls into fact patterns that we’ve seen in other areas of Russian and Eastern European organized crime,” he says.

“We’re staring at a government—that goes right to the top—that engages in very way of doing business and the exact same fact patterns that we set these tools up to combat.

That’s mind-boggling to me.”

What happened to the other $25 million paid to Ms. Wolkoff’s LLC remains a mystery.

That is the exact amount needed to pay the Trump University students forming the plaintiff class in Judge Curiel’s court.

My hypothesis, which I cannot prove, is that the money paid by the Inaugural Committee to Ms. Wolcoff’s LLC funded the class action settlement.

The new conspiracy theory TSA and company are embracing is that Trump was being set up by intel groups from several western countries because reasons.

That theory isn’t new, and the book djohn keeps tweeting about supports that theory.

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/05/muellers-probe-is-more-expansive-than-it-seems/560255/

“Roh and his co-author Thierry Pastor, who also knows Mifsud, write in the book that, upon arriving in New York City with his family in October 2017, “one of the co-authors” was “fished from the passport control” line at John F. Kennedy airport while his family “was retained with armed police force.” (Photos posted by Roh’s wife on social media in October 2017 suggest she was visiting New York in late October.) He was then interrogated for “hours,” they write, by “a team of Special Counsel Robert Mueller investigating Russia-Gate.” The book alleges that he and his family were then “observed, followed, and taped, at every moment and every place in New York” by the FBI and that his family was assigned to “special rooms at the hotel” while security personnel “patrolled the corridors.”

It is unclear whether Roh was actually surveilled after being interviewed—a spokesman for the special counsel’s office declined to comment. The book further alleges that Mifsud is not a Russian spy but is actually “deeply embedded in the network of Western Intelligence Services.” Papadopoulos, too, is a “western intelligence operative,” the authors assert, who was “placed” in the Trump campaign by the FBI.

‘Buckle up’: As Mueller probe enters second year, Trump and allies go on war footing

The president vents to associates about the FBI raids on his personal attorney Michael Cohen — as often as “20 times a day,” :lol

in the estimation of one confidant — and they frequently listen in silence, knowing little they say will soothe him.

Trump gripes that he needs better “TV lawyers” to defend him on cable news :lol

and is impatient to halt the “witch hunt” that he says undermines his legitimacy as president.

And he plots his battle plans with former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, his new legal consigliere.

“We’re on the same wavelength,” Giuliani said. :lol

“We’ve gone from defense to offense.”

Michael Avenatti Posts Photos Of Cohen With Qatari Investor Accused Of Bribery


Why was Ahmed Al-Rumaihi meeting with Michael Cohen and Michael Flynn in December 2016 and why did Mr. Al-Rumaihi later brag about bribing administration officials according to a sworn declaration filed in court?


Mr. Al-Rumaihi requested I set up a meeting between him, the Qatari government, and Steven Bannon, and to tell Steve Bannon that Qatar would underwrite all of his political efforts in return for his support.”

Kwatinetz, who is a friend of Bannon’s, said that he rejected the offer because he considered it a bribe. He stated that he did not tell Bannon of the conversation.

Kwatinetz said in the affidavit that “Al-Rumaihi laughed and [said] that I shouldn’t be naive, that so many Washington politicians take our money.”

Quote left off:
"do you think Flynn turned down our [Rumaihi's] money?"

Mike Pence has been elbowing his way into position to lead the Republican Party. One example: even though Trump declined to anoint a successor for the seat of retiring Texas Rep. Jeb Hensarling,

Pence happily tweeted his support to the candidate of Hensarling's choosing, Bunni Pounds.

While Mr. Trump remains an overpowering personality in Republican politics,

he is mostly uninterested in the mechanics of managing a political party.

His team of advisers is riven with personal divisions and

the White House has not yet crafted a strategy for the midterms.

So Mr. Trump’s supremely disciplined running mate has stepped into the void.

Republican officials now see Mr. Pence as seeking to exercise expansive control over a political party ostensibly helmed by Mr. Trump,

Pence is such a perfect evangelical leader: Claiming his fealty to something in principle, but ultimately just using it to his political advantage in practice.

Word of the internal tensions is getting out beyond the walls of the White House: one prominent lawmaker said the complaints of high-ranking Trump officials were starting to circulate on Capitol Hill.

Most brazenly, Marty Obst, a senior Pence adviser, told a Republican donor that Mr. Pence wanted to be prepared for the next presidential race in case there was an opening.

Julie Annie threatening Mueller

Rudy Giuliani warns Mueller to listen to Trump — and threatens him with ‘additional step’

the White House is starting a campaign against special counsel Robert Mueller.

If the prosecutor doesn’t heed their threats and cave into their demands,

they might take “additional steps,”

“We are going to try as best we can to put the message out there that it has been a year, there has been no evidence presented of collusion or obstruction, and

it is about time for them to end the investigation,” Giuliani said. :lol

“We don’t want to signal our action (https://www.rawstory.com/2018/05/giuliani-biographer-explains-rudy-perpetual-hurricane-drama/) if this doesn’t work — we are going to hope they listen to us — but

obviously we have a Plan B and C.” :lol obviously, sez the legal genius defense lawyer

Giuliani also said that there is no reason for Mueller to interview Trump.

If Mueller wants to talk to the president, the former New York mayor said that he would need to turn over the 1.2 million pages of documents cataloging White House interviews and court documents.

He also intends to demand that the investigation end shortly. :lol that'll work! say pretty please :lol

the Watergate investigation took more than two years and

the GOP’s Benghazi investigation continued for four years after the 2012 attacks.

In the investigation into former President Bill Clinton,

special counsel Ken Starr was appointed Aug. 1994. Impeachment for Clinton was initiated in Dec. 1998.

Twitter Totally Isn’t Buying Don Jr.’s Senate Testimony: ‘Absurd Even For a Tragically Incurious Dolt’

The transcript shows Trump Jr.

insisting that his father didn’t know about the meeting in advance, but it also includes tidbits like the part where it

appears Trump Sr. played a role in drafting the false statement on why the meeting took place.

Since the excerpts have already

Twitter users are taking notice and predicting that this will all

create new intrigue on Russia and potential campaign collusion.

http://cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2018/images/05/15/manafort.pdf


Given what was being said publicly, the Special Counsel would have been remiss to ignore such an obvious potential link between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. Thus, the indictment falls well within the authority granted to the Special Counsel to conduct the ongoing investigation previously confirmed by the then-Director of the FBI before Congress, “including . . . any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign.”

lol TSA
lol Chris

[spurraider21]

interesting note regarding the other case, though


The judge in that case, T.S. Ellis III, gave Manafort’s defense a much-needed boost earlier this month by expressing skepticism about Mueller’s authority to pursue charges with no obvious connection to Russia.

Ellis, an appointee of President Ronald Reagan, seized on the fact that the alleged fraud in the Virginia case dated back to 2005, about a decade before the Trump campaign came into existence. That arguably makes the case more factually removed from Mueller’s central mandate.

Manafort could still lose his motion if Ellis agrees with Jackson that the special counsel regulations can’t be enforced by defendants or finds that Rosenstein approved an expansion of Mueller’s authority for the bank and tax fraud charges. Even if the judge does find a violation, it’s possible he won’t dismiss the case but will simply reassign it to federal prosecutors in Virginia.

Manafort still looks totally screwed.

[RandomGuy]

I didn't cream my pants. Just pointed to the fact that Mueller got rejected twice by two different judges. This sent you off into a tangent for some reason. You can play revisionist history and project all you like.


The motion to dismiss will be denied for a number of reasons.
First, the indictment falls squarely within that portion of the authority granted to the Special Counsel that Manafort finds unobjectionable: the order to investigate “any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign.”
But even if one posits that the scrutiny of Manafort’s alleged activities on behalf of Ukraine did not flow from the investigation of “links” to Russia that was assigned to the Special Counsel, and that instead, it was a “matter that arose” from that investigation, the indictment should not be dismissed.
Also, even if a judge were to conclude that the regulations could give rise to rights that can be enforced in a courtroom, the Acting Attorney General did not violate those regulations when he exercised his statutory authority to authorize the Special Counsel to investigate not only “links and/or coordination,” but also, “any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation.”
Finally, the case did not arise in a vacuum, and the Special Counsel did not create his own job description. He was appointed to take over an existing investigation, and it appears from the chronology and the written record that the matters contained in the Superseding Indictment were already a part of the ongoing inquiry that was lawfully transferred to the Special Counsel by the Department of Justice in May of 2017.

New ruling: Manafort's effort to dodge federal charges just landed him in twice as much trouble (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/5/15/1764579/-New-ruling-Manafort-s-effort-to-dodge-federal-charges-just-landed-him-in-twice-as-much-trouble)

Special Counsel Bob Mueller leveled charges against former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort in federal courts in both D.C. and Virginia. Together, the

two cases span 30 charges (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/we-may-know-why-paul-manafort-has-kept-quiet-but-his-bet-is-still-risky/2018/03/28/ff1fa8a4-32cc-11e8-8bdd-cdb33a5eef83_story.html?utm_term=.f50a3b510269).

unlikely Manafort’s attempt to get the Virginia charges dropped is to succeed. Instead, he’ll likely to have to defend himself in two districts.

Problem for Manafort is that the judge’s tirade signaling his hostility to Mueller’s case probably constituted reversible error (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/5/4/1762016/-Judge-in-the-bank-fraud-case-against-Manafort-goes-rogue-accuses-Mueller-of-aiming-for-impeachment); an adverse ruling isn’t likely to hold up on appeal (https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/05/why-a-judge-challenged-muellers-authority-to-charge-manafort.html).

judge Amy Berman Jackson has not just eviscerated Manafort’s argument but done so in an extensive, extremely quotable salvo equally applicable to his Virginia case.

Judge Berman Jackson notes that even if “a judge” ruled that Manafort can challenge the scope of Mueller’s authority based on Special Counsel Regulations,

which are internal to the Department of Justice and not something Manafort can sue under,

those Regulations still don’t help Manafort.

Manafort seems likely (https://www.dailykos.com/blog/Rebecca%20Pilar%20Buckwalter%20Poza/)to end up fighting charges in two jurisdictions in separate proceedings, which’s gotta be less cost and time efficient, especially if he’s bringing lawyers in from D.C. for every appearance.

On the other hand, it could buy him time if his backup goal is to prolong the proceedings as long as possible.

Forget about whether Team Trump got 'dirt' at Trump Tower—the Russians found plenty of promise there (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/5/16/1764793/-Forget-about-whether-Team-Trump-got-dirt-at-Trump-Tower-the-Russians-found-plenty-of-promise-there)

https://images.dailykos.com/images/423628/story_image/russia_copy.jpg?1499887846

Considering that the Russian lawyer and key participant, Natalia Veselnitskaya, admitted last month to being an "informant (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/russian-lawyer-who-met-with-trump-jr-says-she-is-an-informant/)" for the Russian government,

one has to wonder what she informed Russian officials about following the meeting.

What's the first thing she told them?

We promised (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/07/11/us/politics/donald-trump-jr-email-text.html) Team Trump information that "would incriminate Hillary" and "be very useful" to Donald Trump's candidacy, and

three of the campaign's top officials showed up at the meeting:

Trump's eldest son, Don Jr.,

Trump's son-in-law and director of digital outreach, Jared Kushner, and

Trump's campaign manager, Paul Manafort.

Veselnitskaya's takeaway: They were eager and open for business with us.

Don Jr. also expressed disappointment (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/thousands-of-pages-of-congressional-testimony-shed-light-on-2016-trump-tower-meeting/2018/05/16/316192fc-58b4-11e8-8836-a4a123c359ab_story.html?utm_term=.f47e0f31b12a) to the Judiciary panel about what little dirt actually materialized in the meeting: “All else being equal, I wouldn’t have wanted to waste 20 minutes..."

The Russians also got an opening from Don Jr. on

potentially easing sanctions imposed on Russia by the Magnitsky Act,

Don Jr. closed the meeting by hinting at a quid pro quo (https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2018-05-16/the-latest-dems-say-transcripts-dont-tell-the-whole-story).

Donald Trump Jr. shut down the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower by telling his Russian guests perhaps

they'd revisit the discussion about lifting sanctions legislation should his father win the election.

Team Trump appears to have been open (https://www.npr.org/2018/05/16/611477917/senate-committee-releases-2-500-pages-about-2016-trump-tower-meeting) to the idea of getting help from a Russian social media network,

VK, with voter turnout among Russian-speaking Americans.

"I'm following up on an email [from] a while back of something I had mentioned to Don and Paul Manafort during a meeting recently," Goldstone wrote to Scavino on June 29. [...] "

At the time, Paul had said he would welcome it, and so I had the VK folks mock up a basic sample page, which I am resending for your approval now," Goldstone wrote.

one more example of Team Trump's openness to Russian help in the election.

Bottom line:

Team Trump may not have been impressed with the dirt it sought to obtain, but the Russians clearly got the message the Trump camp was plenty eager for the Kremlin's help.


t Sen. Dianne Feinstein outlined in her statement (https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/b/3/b3e29bc4-8afd-4145-85d9-618dcad4a133/D069EF11DC3784A6D073B097E720572E.2018.05.15-transcript-release-findings-9-am.pdf) summarizing the documents:




The Trump campaign accepted this offer of “official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary [Clinton],” which was also described as “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”





Top campaign officials Paul Manafort, Jared Kushner, and Donald Trump Jr. did not reject the offer of election assistance from a hostile foreign government. Nor did they report this offer to law enforcement authorities. Instead, they attended the meeting.





Afterwards, Donald Trump Jr. issued misleading statements, with assistance from the White House, that concealed the meeting’s true purpose.


All of those signals left the door wide open for other approaches by the Kremlin.
