WASHINGTON — Paul Manafort's notes from a controversial Trump Tower meeting with Russians during the 2016 presidential campaign included the word "donations," near a reference to the Republican National Committee, two sources briefed on the evidence told NBC News.
The references, which have not been previously disclosed, elevated the significance of the June 2016 meeting for congressional investigators, who are focused on determining whether it included any discussion of donations from Russian sources to either the Trump campaign or the Republican Party.

Leaking is BS. Lies. Fire these unethical inappropriate bums.
Any millions of times i wrote a word in a meeting to remember something later. This investigation is deranged.
Always shred and re-type any notes worth keeping....
doodle on a white board, then erase
who are focused on determining whether it included any discussion of donations from Russian sources to either the Trump campaign or the Republican Party. .......................... accuzations are coming, nothing solid, but accusations repeated over and over become the truth in certain media circles. If there is a note in there saying;”You gave Hillary donations why not us?” LOL it would be worthy of news.
Mueller and Manafort...look over at what Comey said...
“Manafort spokesman Jason Maloni told NBC News that “it is 100 percent false to suggest this meeting included any discussion of donations from Russian sources to either the Trump campaign or the Republican Party. Mr. Manafort provided the Senate Intelligence Committee with the facts and his notes so this speculation and conjecture is pointless and wrong.””
Oh, the media is having a collective gorgasm over any possible allegations of “donations” from Russia!
Just think about the headlines and slobbering media honchos, if Manafort had written “bribe.”
Complete silence, when it is revealed that what he actually wrote was “Russian bribes to Hillary were all disguised as donations to the Clinton Foundation.”
I hope everyone remembers that Manafort didnt help Trump to beat Hillary.
He helped Trump to beat Jeb Bush , Ted Cruz and the GOPe and after Trump secured the GOP nomination Manafort then left the campaign. Which I believe he was working gratis
So this relates how to “ election hacking” simce we were continuously told Trump had no chance vs Hildabeast
Paul must have been using his Mont Blanc with NSA-authorized lemon juice ink. /humor
amazing what was supposed to have been discussed in front of stranger witnesses in a whole 10 minutes of meeting
That certainly makes sense, given that Trump, Jr. and Manafort were allegedly lured to the meeting on the promise of receiving evidence of Hillary wrong-doing. The Russians might have said something about how illegal donations to Hillary were sourced and structured, or Manafort might have jotted “donations” down as a reminder to press for information.
The value of the story is that someone is still leaking (note how leaking dried up substantially after Priebus’s departure). Are the leakers on Mueller’s pro-Hillary staff or are they Congressional/Senate Committee members/staffers? If Mueller wants to charge someone with a crime, he should be indicting them soon. He surely knows who was “briefed” on this detail.
This looks like an intentional leak. It also looks like there are two leakers.
Is NBC playing ball? Interesting. Maybe that’s why Sessions called the “no more leaks or you go jail” press conference at the beginning of the month? He was threatening the media.
The FBI needs to be taken down. Sessions is useless.
