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.

Wait a minute. The Dems have always insisted that the Trumps were never wiretapped.

So Spain has interfered in a US election...which means that the European Union has interfered.Not surprising...the EU leadership wanted their fellow Maoist to win.

“Wait a minute. The Dems have always insisted that the Trumps were never wiretapped.”

Exactly.

What it is is that they’ve decided anything anyone associated with Trump does is de facto illegal.

“he wasn’t. I assume The wiretaps picked on info between these two people in Spain talking about the meeting”

Which would mean the headline is false and this is fake news.

Public records show that the Clinton Foundation received over 100 million dollars in donations and pledges from Oligarchs and companies tied to the Uranium 1 deal while she was Sec. of State and her agency approved the sale. They also show that her husband received 500k as a speaking fee for talking to the same bunch.

Oh, wait..... that is not the collusion we are supposed to look for is it?

Nevermind. /s

Heck! Isikoff is the one used by the FBI to write the Yahoo article that confirmed their libelous dossier. Seems to me this guy hasn’t a lick of credibility to be writing this crap.

We now know the desperate measured the Deep State took to set up people, throw them bait, etc., to compromise the Trump Campaign.

So my questions are:
1. Who facilitated the meeting between DT, Jr., and Putin’s “ally”; and
2. Did DT, Jr., know the person he was meeting was an ally of Putin? (Answer: No.)

I’ve been called a Putin ally by idiots on this very sight simply because I believe the animosity between America and Russia is dumb.

Oh Pleeeeez...being in the same room in a convention type situation is not “a meeting”.

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.

I assume the details as to why are on the transcripts
