Comey's FBI, I still have hope I can trust them after this:

The FBI rejected a recent White House request to publicly knock down media reports about communications between Donald Trump's associates and Russians known to US intelligence during the 2016 presidential campaign, multiple US officials briefed on the matter tell CNN.

White House officials had sought the help of the bureau and other agencies investigating the Russia matter to say that the reports were wrong and that there had been no contacts, the officials said. The reports of the contacts were first published by The New York Times and CNN on February 14.
The direct communications between the White House and the FBI were unusual because of decade-old restrictions on such contacts. Such a request from the White House is a violation of procedures that limit communications with the FBI on pending investigations.

Apparently, Sessions introduced Page to Team Trump. If that is true, then he is completely implicated in this mess.

Yeah, the whole secret Russian contacts and sanctions deals really need to be looked at MUCH more closely. Where is Chaffetz with his investigation? Still playing games?

And in terms of the kinds of sordid characters we're dealing with, apparently Sater has Russian and mob connections and served jail time for breaking a bar glass and stabbing someone with it. And this is who we now have as a senior advisor?

The longer Chaffetz and co balk at investigating, the worse it looks for them.

If you havent seen the NYTimes article, it is linked above, but as much, this WSJ article is important as well.

From October: Trump Connection to Laundering Kazakh Money: https://www.ft.com/content/33285dfa-9231-11e6-8df8-d3778b55a923

Going back possibly as far as 1987, Trump may have been laundering Russian money through his companies. Rmember the context, he was failing in his businesses and declaring bankruptcy in the Casino business (where fixed profits are regulated and Trump to a cash bailout from his dad). The mid and late 1990's everyone was booming in business with the dot-com market and Clinton economics, yet Trump was failing.


Here is a line-up of Trump connections to Russia with links:

I mean, it just isn't credible to suggest that Trump has no business or connections to business in Russia or with Russian money.

This quote was especially interesting --"Warner also said the committee has put in place a process to ensure the White House does not destroy documents lawmakers need for their investigation."

Except the WH staff is using Confide for private messaging.

Using that would be against federal record retention requiremtns and laws.

Is it illegal?

YES it is illegal.

I'm pretty sure the Clinton Derangement crowd has committed it to memory.

How did they settle on confide? It looks like it has 3 yr old OpenSSL and therefore there are probably 60 or so known vulnerabilities.

They should use Virtru, much better product imo.

Well, this is the B team. Can't even manage proper spelling...cutting-edge technology is out of their grasp.
