'Trump's son should be concerned': FBI obtained wiretaps of Putin ally who met with Trump Jr.
yahoo ^ | Michael Isikoff

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.

Not a crime. Meeting a foreign national isn’t illegal.

Again, has nothing do with so-called collusion.

The Deep State is grasping at straws.

So?

Donald Trump Jr. can meet with anyone he chooses.

He is a businessman.

Bring on those transcripts, are they on the same evidentiary level as the Steele Dossier?

Your guess is as good as mine.

With the Deep State’s goose being cooked on the spying scandal, they’re trying to pointing to Trump being watched to protect him.

So they watched Don. Jr in case he colluded with a Russian.

But evidently didn’t think it was a national security threat in May 2016.

No body back then heard of Alexander Torshin. Draw your own conclusions.

With the Nation’s David Corn, and right before the election, Isikoff (the author of this latest hit piece) wrote the initial piece of trash “story” about the piece of trash dossier written by the piece of trash Brit that not even the left cable networks would touch.

But someone shopped the Steele dossier to Clapper and Brennan and that led to naming Mueller to look into it and as they say, the rest was history.

Pure BS. More Fake News.

It’s been out there a while. NRA is not a facilitator of financial brokerage companies.

So is this guy a Purim ally exclusively or perhaps he has a life other than being an ally of Putin?

That isn’t what I read in this article. It is simply someone who wanted to set up a meeting with Trump was heard talking to a person of interest to the Spanish cops. I don’t see anywhere that they discussed Trump Sr. or Jr. They are trying for guilt by association, once removed.
