Kushner, Manafort and Don Jr. met with a Russian lawyer with Kremlin ties during the campaign

I am not sure why the accounts that the Russian's didn't deliver goods on Hillary are taken at face value. These folks have lied about everything, every step of the way.

Maybe they actually shared the goods they had on Trump, and this was the "you are ours" meeting.

Who knows.

Either way, after that meeting, the Russians and activity on the Alfa Bank Server and in social media, escalated quickly.

I've read that theory elsewhere, too, that played some of the kompromat for Junior and Jerry.

Ivanka Trump was reportedly a key player in getting Michael Flynn appointed to serve in her father’s White House, praising his "amazing loyalty" just days after Donald Trump was elected president.

The first daughter and future White House senior adviser was serving on the presidential transition team’s executive council when she interrupted a meeting led by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on November 11 to introduce Flynn. Trump "took over" the event, according to a report published Monday in The New Yorker, posing a single question to the retired Army lieutenant general: "General, what job do you want?"

"It was like Princess Ivanka had laid the sword on Flynn’s shoulders and said, 'Rise and go forth,'" one source who was present at the meeting told The New Yorker.

At the time, Flynn was—and remains—a subject of the federal investigation into Russia’s meddling efforts throughout the 2016 election. He waited until just before Inauguration Day before telling the Trump team of his involvement in the probe, however, and was allowed to remain a part of the president's national security team.

JD Gordon's story has changed vis a vis Ukraine and the GOP platform: http://www.businessinsider.com/jd-gordon-trump-adviser-ukraine-rnc-2017-3

and

Senate investigators have interviewed the Russians at the Trump Tower meeting: http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/20/politics/senate-russia-trump-tower-meeting/index.html

The noose is tightening on both Trump jr and Trump.

No wonder we are getting all sorts of wacko right now.

Team Trump knew of Russia's desire to help with the campaign 3 months before the meeting nat Trump Tower

This is conspiracy and aiding and abetting an enemy.

I like that you asked a question and then answered it with an article. Nice.

One wonders: how deeply compromised are these Republicans? McCain took $200-250K (I already closed it and you only get a limited number of free articles). McConnell took, what, a million dollars? What did they do for that money?

When can we fix dark money?

Start one!

Although I think it was touched on, albeit months ago. And I think sourced to Louise Mensch back then - now it's in the paper.

Was George Papadopolous given security clearance or allowed access to classified materials as a member of the Trump campaign's National Security Team? If so, that would be a very serious breach.
