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.

My wife was waited on at Belks by a female sales associate from Russia. Even purchased a scarf from her. We are sooo screwed.

I used to get facial’s done by two Russian women, they closed up shop a few years ago and disappeared..I guess this means I was involved with the Russian mob LOL. So basically what the left is saying is if you talk to a Russian you are a criminal and so is that Russia..so should we start the deportations for all Russians now is that what they are saying?

Its not illegal to meet with or even ‘collude’ with foringers. Democrats do it all the time.

Its only illegal to conspire with them to commit a crime. There is no evident of a crime therefore no colluding to commit a crime that didn’t happen.

Frankly the democrats shot themselves in the foot when they refused to let the FBI investigate their server from which they claim the Russians stole the evident of their corrupt electioneering with the media against Berny Sandards.

The truth is it was almost certainly a Berny Sanders supporter at the DNC who leaked that information via a USB flash drive, not the Russians.

If the Russian’s or anyone else had done it they would also have released the other evident of locution with the Media to try and rig the election against Donald trump.

Doesn’t anyone wonder how Hillary Clinton’s debate responses were so well scripted to the Media selected question and not anything Donald Trump said?

They just said she was “well prepared”, on that there is little doubt, the question is by whom.

We would know the answer to that question if the FBI were allowed access to the ‘hacked’ DNC server, or if the Russians had really accessed said server.

Somebody who met with Trump Jr. was wiretapped in Spain, not talking to Trump Jr., but another Russian. This is getting dumberer and dumberer.
