Buried in special counsel Robert Mueller's 400-plus page report is the question of whether then-president-elect Donald Trump attended a 2016 championship chess tournament — an event that came under scrutiny as Mueller probed possible collusion between Trump's orbit and the Russian government.
Although Trump said he did not attend the event, he told Mueller in written answers that he became "aware of documents indicating" that then-president of the World Chess Federation (FIDE) Kirsan Ilyumzhinov — a sanctioned Russian power player — invited the Trump Organization in March 2016 to host the tournament at Trump Tower.
"I do not remember having been asked to attend the World Chess Championship gala, and I did not attend the event," Trump told Mueller. "During the course of preparing to respond to these questions, I have become aware of documents indicating that in March of 2016, the president of the World Chess Federation invited the Trump Organization to host, at Trump Tower, the 2016 World Chess Championship Match to be held in New York in November 2016."
"I have also become aware that in November 2016, there were press inquiries to my staff regarding whether I had plans to attend the tournament, which was not being held at Trump Tower," he continued. "I understand these documents have already been provided to you."
Mueller reported that the tournament, which featured a Russian grandmaster chess player and took place just after the 2016 election, was attended by the likes of Dmitry Peskov, Russian President Vladimir Putin's press secretary, and Kirill Dmitriev, CEO of the Russian sovereign wealth fund.
Dmitriev flew to New York for the event and invited George Nader, a Middle Eastern businessman who was questioned by Mueller for meetings with Trump allies, to join him for the...

It was indeed “A Hunt”. The President used the right words.
Was Spock in attendance???
We can always hope.
I have always believed Trump colluded with the Vulcans.
Tires made out of Vulcanized rubber?
Trump becomes President Trump?
Coincidence? I don’t think so!!!
BACKSTORY----Prior to taking the US Senate seat, Sen Schumer represented what is known as
"Little Odessa" b/c of its concentration of Russian emigres----including Russian govt officials.:
<><> the Ninth Congressional District in Brooklyn and Queens for eighteen years.
<><> earlier Schumer represented the Forty-Fifth Assembly District in Brooklyn for six years.
=========================================================
OF INTEREST TO LAW ENFORCEMENT--- Based on Sen Schumer's statements (and his Senate votes for amnesty), Schumer approves the use of stolen SS numbers and multiple identities to defraud. The FBI should interrogate these individuals for evidence of multiple schemes to falsify documents. The FBI should investigate any and all official documents submitted by Schumer's constituents. Crimes might include---conspiracy. collusion, falsifying official documents (a felony), money laundering, tax evasion, extorting taxpayers, theft of govt monies, misuse of public office and government positions.

REFERENCE---A Medicaid Fraud Ring In Brooklyn by Russian Refugee Constituents of Sen Charles Schumer (Dem-NY)
By Julia Ioffe, NY Magazine, published March 2, 2012
=====================================
REFERENCE ----SEN SCHUMER MUST HAVE SPRUNG INTO ACTION
TO DEFEND US TAXPAYERS BEING RIPPED OFF BY HIS RUSSIAN CONSTITUENTS. RIGHT?
In March 2012, thirty-six Russians---Soviet immigrants----were arrested in Brooklyn, New York for plotting to bilk US health-insurance companies out of a quarter of a billion tax dollars. The plot, according to the NY Times, involved ten doctors, nine clinics, and a hundred and five corporations: “The ring falsified official US govt documents demanding tax dollars----reimbursements for a mountain of excessive and unnecessary medical treatments that were never done. The Russian fraudsters were so brazen that they already had in-place three separate billing-processing companies just to handle the paperwork.....to get the tax dollars into their greedy hands faster.

NOTES---What’s remarkable here is just how unremarkable the story is, coming, as it does, out of Sen Schumer's district-----the Russia-centric Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. Famous for its Russian delicacies, entertainment, a population of highly-inflected Russian dialects, but mostly for its concentration of insurance fraud.
The NY Times reports, “Brighton Beach has one of the highest rates of health care fraud in the nation, according to federal statistics.
An analysis from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (agency regulates those two programs), shows that more health care providers in the Brighton Beach ZIP code are currently barred from the programs for malfeasance than in almost any other ZIP code in the United States.
Q: Did Mulehead investigate what McCain was doing at that security conference in Halifax in 2016. The same one that Christopher Steele and Tim Kaine attended...,?
Just curious.
Yes and he once ate at the Russian tea Room.
Yep, “chess” is in the report in nine (9) sentences on numbered pages 147, 148, C-9, C-22, and C-23.
On the other hand, “sex” only shows up once. as part of the phrase “alleged sexual encounter” on page 144.
Happy reading. The Mueller report belongs in the outhouse at the mountain cabin. /sarc
Checkmate
It may be worse than that.
It’s rumored that President Trump once saw “Dr. Zhivago” on TV and he liked it.
So, you know.......RUSSIAN COLLUSION!!!
“Mueller say anything about Trump eating Russian Dressing?”
IDK, but if Mulehead saw that Trump was caught with Russian Dressing, to him that means Russian must have been naked before that.
I’ve been to Russia and I voted for Trump. Let the spin begin.
I just have a question, is it okay to drink White Russians and Vodka yet? Do we still have to stick with Grey Goose (made in France) vodka?
O.
M.
G!!!
How pathetic are these people?
How can this idiot be an elected official, oh yea NY.
I just called the FBI. They’re sending a gas van for you.
