Ok.

I’ve noticed these news outlets do this a lot. Put up distorted headlines and later change them.

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.

José 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.
“Just a few months ago, the wiretaps of these telephone conversations were given to the FBI,” Grinda said in response to a question from Yahoo News during a talk he gave at the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington. Asked if he was concerned about Torshin’s meetings with Donald Trump Jr. and other American political figures, Grinda replied: “Mr. Trump’s son should be concerned.”

The comments by Grinda were the first clear sign that the FBI may be investigating Torshin, possibly as a part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Torshin — a close political ally of Vladimir Putin — had multiple contacts with conservative activists in the United States during the election, seeking to set up a summit between the Russian president and then candidate Trump.

Although the summit never transpired, Torshin did meet briefly with the president’s son at a private dinner in Louisville during the May 2016 annual convention of the NRA. A member of the NRA since 2012, Torshin has been a regular attendee of the group’s conventions in recent years and hosted senior members of the group in Moscow.

Oh great, now we can mix in the NRA.

Hard to imagine how this could get any stupider, but every time I think that, it does.

I wonder if Jose Grinda was involved in the Madrid Bombing “investigation” which the Spanish far left used to win an election and install that idiot who, along with Erdogan and Khameini, were pushing for a global blasphemy law, etc., through the “Alliance of Civilizations” ?

He was already questioned by House Intelligence Committee and Senate Judiciary Committee in late 2017, regarding his meeting with Torshin at Trump Tower, and encounter at the May 2016 NRA Convention.

Donald Trump Jr. will meet with House Intelligence Committee next week

The dinner they met at was the one given by the NRA. Trump Jr. was introduced to Torshin by an acquaintance. They didn't sit together, but spoke briefly about guns, then each man went back to his table to finish his meal. That was the extent of their meeting.

criminalization of politics

I thought it was the politicization of crime. I just get so confused by all of this that I need to listen to Mika so that I know how to think about it.

They were buying Russian dressing together——at Publix——seen by David Hogg.
Open and shut collusion case.

Old Laugh-In gag:
In supermarket-—
“Where can I find the French dressing?”
Answer: In a bedroom in Paris.

Isn’t Isikoff the one who tried to bury the Monica Lewinsky story in January 1998?

Sounds like spin to me. Who cares if they wiretapped conversations between two Russians?
