    I don't think it will be quite so difficult once they go digging in his finances.

    He was persona non grata after his bankruptcies and had a hard time finding funds from legitimate sources.

    Remember his kids bragged about "Russian money", and the debt on his book are from Deutsche Bank, which has been quietly laundering money through Cyprus for the Russians for years, and one of whose executives just happens to play a fairly major role in the Trump administration.

    Shocker.
    Thats not collusion concerning the election necessarily.

    I would not be the least bit surprised if financial misdeeds come into play as I said before. From more than just Russia as well.

    If the point isn't proving the campaign conspired with Russia then you agree it is nothing more than a witch hunt to bog down Trump's presidency?
    Ken Starr was appointed to investigate blow jobs, right?

    Yep.

    Trump did not take time or care to realize when he gave the Russians a certain fact in a brag, it implicated Israeli intelligence.
    You are going to have to tie this back to bigger fish and prove this working together. This is very difficult apparently. What there is no doubt of is that the Russians (thru Putin) intentionally Fd with our elections. Not necessarily for any one candidate, just to create distrust and confusion. They put out crap about Trump as well. People like TSA and boots will eat stuff like this for breakfast.

    Bottom line for me is we had an incredibly close election that shows the divisions in a country. The Russians play any distrust up, from race relations, to election stealing. Its a fabulous strategy for a country that has lost so much economically and socially and is run by a dictator. And it works in a free democratic society.
    You seem to think Trump is stupid. I disagree. It's his go-to alibi but I'm not buying it. The man is a crook.

    Nope. Bill Clinton was an idiot in his Paula Jones and grand jury testimony. The impeachment and trial were the witch hunts.

    Putin-linked businessman who Trump claims he can’t recognize showed up at his invite-only election party:




    Keith Olbermann dropped a bombs just in time for the year anniversary of Donald Trump’s stunning election:

    that the then-candidate’s election night victory party was attended by a Russian businessman he claimed he wouldn’t recognize even if they were seated in the same room.


    In a GQ exclusive, Olbermann noted that

    Felix Sater, a Russian-American businessman with ties to both organized crime and Russian President Vladimir Putin, reportedly attended Trump’s November 8, 2016 party.

    According to GQ’s reporting, he also gave interviews to news crews there, though it’s unclear if those interviews ever aired.


    In 2015, Sater emailed Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen to propose a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.


    “Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it,” Sater wrote to Cohen.

    “I will get all of Putin’s team to buy in on this, I will manage this process.”


    Sater has become a tense figure for

    Trash ... once walked out of an interview when someone asked him about the colorful Russian-American businessman.

    Fake dossier created by DNC + Rooshans = give to FBI (Comey)...leaked to MSM (Comey)...and beat into the brains of millions of Americans to create division and hate. Kyle Griffin says there are troll farms and Pokemons though so we must endure more MSM drivel and selective Liberal outrage until they write a new script.

    Fusion GPS official met with Russian operative before and after Trump Jr. sit-down

    The co-founder of Fusion GPS, the firm behind the unverified Trump dossier, met with a Russian lawyer before and after a key meeting she had last year with Trump’s son, Fox News has learned. The contacts shed new light on how closely tied the firm was to Russian interests, at a time when it was financing research to discredit then-candidate Donald Trump.

    The opposition research firm has faced renewed scrutiny after litigation revealed that the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s campaign paid for that research. Congressional Republicans have since questioned whether that politically financed research contributed to the FBI’s investigation of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign – making Fusion’s 2016 contacts with Russian interests all the more relevant.

    The June 2016 Trump Tower meeting involving Donald Trump Jr. and Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya occurred during a critical period. At that time, Fox News has learned that bank records show Fusion GPS was paid by a law firm for work on behalf of a Kremlin-linked oligarch while paying a former British spy Christopher Steele to dig up dirt on Trump through his Russian contacts.

    But hours before the Trump Tower meeting on June 9, 2016, Fusion co-founder and ex-Wall Street Journal reporter Glenn Simpson was with Veselnitskaya in a Manhattan federal courtroom, a confidential source told Fox News. Court records reviewed by Fox News, email correspondence and published reports corroborate the pair’s presence together. The source told Fox News they also were together after the Trump Tower meeting.

    Simpson’s presence with Veselnitskaya during this critical week in June -- together with revelations about Fusion’s simultaneous financial ties to the DNC, Clinton campaign and Russian interests -- raise new questions about the company’s role in the 2016 election.

    Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating the Trump Tower meeting as part of his probe of Russian interference in last year’s election.

    Simpson and Fusion GPS were hired by BakerHostetler, which represented Russian firm Prevezon through Veselnitskaya.

    Veselnitskaya has said she sought the Trump Tower meeting in order to lobby the candidate’s team against Russian sanctions, but the initial approach included an offer of compromising information on candidate Clinton.

    Lawyers representing Fusion and Veselnitskaya did not respond to requests for comment lodged on Friday.

    Senate Judiciary Committee investigators interviewed Simpson for more than 10 hours on Aug. 22. A spokesman for the committee had no comment on whether Simpson confirmed his contact with Veselnitskaya during the closed-door session.

    The DNC and Clinton campaign hired Fusion in April 2016 through lawyer Marc Elias, who was general counsel for the Clinton campaign. Fusion, in turn, paid Steele $168,000 for the dossier, memos from which were shared with the FBI in the summer of 2016.

    Fusion officials said last week Steele's money came from $1.02 million it received in fees and expenses from Elias' law firm Perkins Coie. Prior to contracting with the DNC, Fusion had been conducting research into Trump and other Republican candidates on behalf of the conservative website The Washington Free Beacon.

    NBC News first reported that Veselnitskaya and Simpson were both at a hearing centered around another Fusion client, Russian oligarch Denis Katsyv. His company, Prevezon Holdings, was sanctioned against doing business in the U.S. for its alleged role in laundering more than $230 million. Fox News obtained audio records from that hearing in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

    The wrongdoing had been uncovered by Russian lawyer and whistleblower Sergei Magnitsky, who was beaten to death in a Russian prison in 2009 after being arrested for probing Prevezon and other companies with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    In December 2012, the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act was passed into U.S. law, freezing Russian assets and banning visas for sanctioned individuals. Fusion’s Simpson is believed to have been working with Veselnitskaya and Rinat Akhmetshin, a former Soviet counter-intelligence officer turned Russian-American lobbyist, to overturn the sanctions.

    Akhmetshin also attended the June 9 Trump Tower meeting, along with about a half-dozen others including Trump Jr., Paul Manafort, Jared Kushner, publicist Rob Goldstone, Natalia's Russian translator Anatoli Samochornov and Ike Kaveladze from a Russian-American real estate agency.

    Mueller’s interest in Fusion is unclear, but the House Intelligence Committee, which is conducting one of several related congressional probes, recently struck a deal to gain access to Fusion’s bank records after initially issuing a subpoena. The records show that the DNC funded Fusion’s dossier effort.

    Over the weekend, Fusion GPS sought a new restraining order after the House panel requested additional records that could reveal if Fusion was paying media companies or reporters for planting stories.

    "What we are finding out is that there is a lot of Russian influence in Washington, and a lot of money flowing in to influence our political process in Washington," Marc Thiessen, a Washington Post columnist and former Bush administration official, said. "It's going into Hlilary Clinton. It's going to Fusion GPS. It's going into a lobbying campaign up on Capitol Hill against Magnitsky."

    Meanwhile, a request from Veselnitskaya and Katsyv for a new "temporary immigration parole" to return to the U.S. for a Nov. 9 Prevezon hearing in New York was denied, according to court do ents reviewed by Fox News.

    A Senate Judiciary Committee spokesman told Fox News they are "encouraged" that Veselnitskaya has "signaled a willingness to cooperate" with the committee.
