Congressional investigators have unearthed an email from a top Trump aide that referenced a previously unreported effort to arrange a meeting last year between Trump campaign officials and Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to sources with direct knowledge of the matter.
The aide, Rick Dearborn, who is now President Donald Trump's deputy chief of staff, sent a brief email to campaign officials last year relaying information about an individual who was seeking to connect top Trump officials with Putin, the sources said.
The person was only identified in the email as being from "WV," which one source said was a reference to West Virginia. It's unclear who the individual is, what he or she was seeking, or whether Dearborn even acted on the request. One source said that the individual was believed to have had political connections in West Virginia, but details about the request and who initiated it remain vague.
The same source said Dearborn in the email appeared skeptical of the requested meeting.
Sources said the email occurred in June 2016 around the time of the recently revealed Trump Tower meeting where Russians with Kremlin ties met with the president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., his son-in-law Jared Kushner as well as then-campaign chairman, Paul Manafort.
You know the Russians seemed to have been fairly confident that people in the Trump campaign wanted to hear what they had to say.
And since Junior eventually took that meeting with the Russian attorney clearly that belief was well founded.
You know I am somebody who actually believes in coincidences, but at this point the idea that all of these meetings and attempts to set up meetings were perfectly innocent and not at all suspicious, strains credulity to its very limits.
Oh my, when will the Trumps and their accomplices come clean?
ReplyDeleteHe(the Russians) has to have blackmailable dirt on a lot of people. Otherwise he would have already been in jail or executed for treason. I know President Obama would have been already if he was 1/10th as dirty as dump.
DeletePlease Republicans act like you're Americans before it is too late.
ReplyDeleteThey -- those MILLIONS (!) think THEY are the Americans....it is a stalemate and will end in a civil war.
DeleteWWSPD?
ReplyDeleteWhat Would Sarah Palin Do if the Obamas were involved with the Russians?
Trump, palling around with racists and Nazi sympathizers. Makes Bill Ayers look like a Boy Scout.
DeleteHer head would explode like Clayton Bigsby's did.
DeleteWho cares what Sarah Palin would think? She's not relevant anymore, 11:53 AM Get a life!!!
ReplyDeleteShe is the man behind the man. Trump would have burned out if it weren't for the trailblazing Ice Queen. She is significant due to her crimes with John McCain. It doesn't matter if she is brain dead or in a coma now.
DeleteAs long as she is consuming oxygen she will make every attempt to integrate herself into the conversation.
DeleteShe is not irrelevant for she was John the Baptist to Jesus -- Trump by many is considered the Appointed One. Democracy, as it was envisaged, was as interesting experiment that may not survive. She was just the first (highly visible) pus to appear that showed the rot in the body politic of American voters.
DeleteIf Dems don't start to play hard ball, they will continue losing seats -- 1000 of them just in a few recent elections!
Sc principal probably wouldn't like sarah huckabee or the john i mean the don. They are fat.
ReplyDelete*ANOTHER ONE*?!!
ReplyDeleteMr. Mueller is on the case. Trump will be impeached. And if the R's do not impeach him by the summer of 2018, we will have what I call the impeachment election of 2018 and the Democrats will impeach his fat ass as the first order of business in 2019.
