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.

They went from wire-tapping people in the course of criminal investigations to wire-tapping anyone who has any contact with foreigners. The people who authorized these wiretaps need to be sent to prison for decades.
The timing of this announcement is suspicious.
One day after redacted intel is discussed. Really?
Trump Jr. and this guy saw each other briefly at a dinner during an NRA convention in May 2016.
That's the best the Deep State can do with Russia! Russia! Russia!?
Hmmmm, they were wire tapping in May? wasn't this crap/FISA etc not supposed to get going until June or July?
I always liked the media pics of Hussein riding the wild stallion behind Pooty-Poot...
If talking to a deputy governor of Russia’s Central Bank is so awful then name those U.S. lawmakers too.
I thought that Russia was opened up to business with U.S. businesses a long time ago. Just ask Hill n Billy!
“Michael Isikoff” - a Clinton lackey.
No kidding. With that reset button and all.
“Even if true, so what?”
........................
My thoughts exactly.
“I guess the whole point of this “breaking” article is that two people in Spain were talking and one of them said he was going to meet with Trump Jr.”
Hearsay.
Fake news as presented.
This is just a rerun of a story that failed to get traction months ago. It was discussed on FR:

The Russians are everywhere.....
.... the sky is falling.
I just noticed YOU changed the headline and made it distorted.
For some reason I’m flashing back to something about Hitler’s poolboy....
Where are these illegal leaks coming from?
Man are the cabal panicked
They only prove the obvious. The Deep State knows your every move and most of the time the blackmail or reputation destruction works for them. It also shows they will use any country too, to work against citizens of the USA.
Thanks for the information, but rerun or not, still curious is the timing.
I DID NOT
Yahoo changed them
Thanks for the information, but rerun or not, still curious is the timing.
