The FBI has obtained secret wiretaps collected by Spanish police of conversations involving Alexander Torshin, a deputy governor of Russia’s Central Bank who has forged close ties with U.S. lawmakers and the National Rifle Association, that led to a meeting with Donald Trump Jr. during the gun lobby’s annual convention in Louisville, Ky., in May 2016, a top Spanish prosecutor said Friday. Jose Grinda, who has spearheaded investigations into Spanish organized crime, said that bureau officials in recent months requested and were provided transcripts of wiretapped conversations between Torshin and Alexander Romanov, a convicted Russian money launderer. On the wiretaps, Romanov refers to Torshin as “El Padrino,” the godfather.

Apparently Isikoff is the reporter of choice for leaks. Hey. Isn’t Isikoff a Russian name?
I think that if this amounted to anything we’d have heard of it before now.
It’s yahoo!
Izzy! Now, there’s a source we can trust on the topic of Russian collusion.
Yup. And then they turned right around and used Izzy’s article as “proof” validating the make believe dossier.
And Isikoff is also the guy who deliberately misquoted the Czech president Havel about the Atta meeting in Prague with the Iraqi “diplomat” involved in a plot against Radio Free Europe - only to have Havel thump him later for it, though after the damage was done.
Note how Isikoff misattributed a comment by Hayes : http://209.157.64.200/focus/f-news/1025827/posts
Note that this link also involves intel from Binalshibh… and the Democrats such as Feinstein and the like have this bizarre fixation on the interrogations of Binalshibh and Zubayda and al Libbi [now conveniently dead], who apparently know/knew something the Democrats do not want to get out.

Isikoff’s been known to be a co-author with Hosenball...
and Hosenball collaborates with Podesta:

If you are anywhere near 1333 H in next day or two I might even show the document to you (I’m out on Thursday, however) though I am reluctant to hand out copies at this...
LOL! I think they saw the same movie I did!
Ishikoff the “go to” leakee.
So, this piece of crap story surfaces at the same time the IG report is to be released.
Call me Suspicious.
My Mother collects rent every month from the Russian woman who lives in our guest house, I guess that means we are in bed with the Russians too..oh noes!
When first questioned about this, the Director said he was not aware of any Russians who were members of the NRA. Soon after he had someone look it up. Now they lumped “Russian-connected”. Which is a very vague description.
Yes, it is a rediculous small amount of money, it is certainly not a bribe and it is certainly not “financing” the NRA or Trumps. Total nonsense.
Oxymoron Investigative journalism and Yahoo News.
ABSOLUTE PROOF of what?
..... That the illegal espionage was used against President Trump’s family?
....That members of the federal government were functioning as enemies against the American People?
....That the US Constitution’s sanctions against oppressive governmental overreach was wholly ignored under the Obama-communista Administration?
....That the US Constitution no longer is the supreme law of the land?
Your mother may get a subpoena from Mueller.
That’s how ridiculous this entire witch hunt has been from the beginning.
What a colossal waste of the taxpayer’s money.
It would be nice to subpoena Isikoff to testify how he got information about federal wiretaps.
Plus I’m getting stronger feelings that he is no longer a legit journalist. The question is, “Who is he really working for”? YAHOO is very far left so we need to know who runs it.
And so many of the same actors...
24. Who at the Department of Justice arranged the appointment of Patrick Fitzgerald as Special Counsel? On September 29, 2003, the Department of Justice informed CIA that the Counterespionage Section had asked the FBI to investigate the Plame leak. The next day, papers quoted Justice Department spokesman Mark Corallo saying that Department of Justice Counterespionage Section Chief John Dion had decided to investigate the Plame leak without consulting Attorney General John Ashcroft. The same day, papers reported that Democrats were demanding the appointment of a special counsel. Quoted prominently was Senator Charles Schumer, who had been pushing for an investigation of the leak since July. Meanwhile, Representative John Conyers, Jr. of the House Judiciary Committee sent the CIA a letter requesting a description of what contacts the Agency had had with the Justice Department about the Plame leak prior to the commencement of the investigation. On October 15, 2003, Senator Schumer and Senator Edward Kennedy wrote Dion to complain about delays in the White House’s response to the Plame leak investigation. The letter again pushed for the appointment of a special counsel. Isikoff and Corn record that in late October, during confirmation hearings for Deputy Attorney General James Comey, Schumer asked if Comey would be open to a special counsel for the Plame leak case. Two years earlier, Schumer had helped Comey become a US Attorney in New York. Comey would not comment on the specifics of the case, but indicated he would do “the right thing”. After Comey’s confirmation on December 9, Schumer called to congratulate him and implied that he expected Comey to do “the right thing” within a month. On December 30, Comey called a press conference to announce that he was delegating authority for the leak investigation to his former colleague from the US Attorney’s office in New York, Patrick Fitzgerald.
Isikoff also faked the story of “flushing korans” at GITMO, which resulted in hundreds of deaths worldwide when the muzzies went full chimpout.
