[b]Mueller probe links Trump aide Rick Gates to Russian Intel Services [/b]
The special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election revealed Tuesday night that prosecutors say they have connected former Trump deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates to a person with ties to a Russian intelligence service while Gates worked on the campaign, [link=https://edition.cnn.com/2018/03/27/politics/alex-van-der-zwaan-memorandum/index.html]CNN[/link] reports.
That Gates and the unnamed person, who had lived in Kiev and Moscow and worked for one of Paul Manaforts companies, were in touch in September and October 2016 was pertinent to the investigation.’
[link=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/manafort-associate-had-russian-intelligence-ties-during-2016-campaign-prosecutors-say/2018/03/28/473228e8-3231-11e8-8bdd-cdb33a5eef83_story.html?utm_term=.3895d679bde1]Washington Post[/link]: The allegations underscore Muellers interest in Manafort and Gates, who continued to interact with business associates in Ukraine even as they helped lead Donald Trumps presidential campaign.

[url=https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/05/politics/corey-lewandowski-russia-investigation/index.html]Corey Lewandowski to House Democrats: I’m not answering your f*cking question![/url]
orey Lewandowski had a blunt message for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee: He wasn’t going to answer their “f*cking” questions.
Lewandowski, President Donald Trump’s [link=https://www.cnn.com/2016/06/20/politics/corey-lewandowski-out-as-trump-campaign-manager/index.html]former campaign manager[/link], was the final witness in the yearlong House investigation that [link=https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/12/politics/house-intelligence-committee-russia-probe-interviews-done/index.html]descended into vitriol and back-biting [/link]– ultimately resulting in two separate partisan reports that will leave the American public no closer to learning how the Russians interfered in the 2016 elections.
But Lewandowski, who agreed to come [link=https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/08/politics/corey-lewandowski-adam-schiff/index.html]back to the committee a second time [/link]in March after initially refusing to answer questions about topics occurring once he left the campaign in June 2016, was in no mood to give Democrats anything they wanted, saying he would only answer “relevant” questions.
And, according to four sources with direct knowledge of the situation, the Trump confidante repeatedly swore at Democratic lawmakers to make the point he wasn’t going to talk further.I’m not answering your “f*cking” question, Lewandowski shouted at one point.[/QUOTE]

[h4][b]National Reporting winner, shared with The New York Times[/b][/h4] [i]The Posts revelatory examination of Russian meddling in the 2016 election, possible links between the Trump campaign and Kremlin agents, and the U.S. response.
[/i]
In one exclusive report after another, all deeply sourced and later verified by administration admissions or sworn testimony to Congress, The Post led the way on the fallout from Russian interference in the 2016 election, the Trump administrations efforts to control the narrative, and the focus of the Special Counsel investigation, including the stunning fact, first reported by The Post, that President Trump was under investigation for obstruction of justice.[/QUOTE]

Since the Trump fake news awards never came to fruition I guess they’ll have to settle for a Pulitzer.
-
I wonder if Trump will call the “failing” New York Times and Washington Post to congratulate them on their Pulitzer?

It’s kind of interesting that the minute you think Donald might want to get tough with Russia we walk back from the toughness. We bomb Syria but hit them softly again. Now Kudlow is out walking back what Haley said about sanctions. “ahead of the curve”. Talk about undercutting your own people. It’s got to be tough working for such an Ahole. You would think that when the secretary of state, or UN ambassador speaks it would be fully backed by the POTUS.

And Kudlow’s position in the Administration is….
Trump trying to protect his once and future Russian assets. More important than America’s.

[b]Russian lawyer in Trump tower meeting now says she is a Kremlin informant[/b]
[link=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/27/us/natalya-veselnitskaya-trump-tower-russian-prosecutor-general.html]https://www.nytimes.com/2…rosecutor-general.html[/link]
The Russian lawyer [link=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/09/us/politics/trump-russia-kushner-manafort.html]who met with Trump campaign officials[/link] in Trump Tower in June 2016 on the premise that she would deliver damaging information about Hillary Clinton has long insisted she is a private attorney, not a Kremlin operative trying to meddle in the presidential election.
But newly released emails show that in at least one instance two years earlier, the lawyer, Natalia V. Veselnitskaya, worked hand in glove with Russias chief legal office to thwart a Justice Department civil fraud case against a well-connected Russian firm.
Ms. Veselnitskaya also appears to have recanted her earlier denials of Russian government ties. During an interview to be broadcast Friday by NBC News, she acknowledged that she was not merely a private lawyer but a source of information for a top Kremlin official, Yuri Y. Chaika, the prosecutor general.
I am a lawyer, and I am an informant, she said. Since 2013, I have been actively communicating with the office of the Russian prosecutor general.-
In Michign he spouted some stuff about how tough he is on Russia and Putin told her to say these things now.
At a rally in Michigan on Saturday, Trump said, “I guarantee you, I’m tougher on Russia. Nobody ever thought. In fact, have you heard about the lawyer? For a year, a woman lawyer, she was like, ‘Oh, I know nothing.’ … Now all of a sudden she supposedly is involved with government. You know why? If she did that, because Putin and the groups said, ‘you know this Trump is killing us. Why don’t you say that you’re involved with government so that we could go and make their life in the United States even more chaotic.’ Look at what’s happened. Look at how these politicians have fallen for this junk. Russian collusion. Give me a break.”

Soooo, she never was a Russian operative but Putin recently told her to say she was one, so she then did say she was one even though it was never true? But she is still not a Russian operative & never was.

Trump’s rant on Fox & Friends likely to cause him big problems.

[b][/b][b]He undermined his claims to attorney-client privilege.[/b]
Prosecutors with the Southern District of New York are already using those words against him, arguing that Trumps claim about Cohen means that its unlikely that many of the lawyers documents are privileged.
[b]He admitted that Cohen represented him in the Stormy Daniels deal.[/b]
Three weeks after [link=http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/04/trump-says-he-didnt-know-about-payment-to-stormy-daniels.html]denying all knowledge[/link] of Cohens $130,000 hush payment to adult-film star Stormy Daniels, Trump appeared to change his story Thursday when he admitted that Cohen represents him with this crazy Stormy Daniels deal.
[b]He admitted to staying a night in Moscow.[/b]
The question of whether Trump spent a night at the Ritz-Carlton in Moscow while in town for the 2013 Miss Universe pageant is central to [link=http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/04/im-a-peeliever-and-you-should-be-too.html]the most salacious allegation in the Steele dossier[/link]. For some reason, Trump brought it up Thursday.
[b]He threatened to upend the DOJ.[/b]
At the end of the interview, before Fox all but cut Trumps mic to prevent him from digging himself into a deeper hole, Trump threatened to force the Department of Justice to [link=http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/04/trump-threatens-to-seize-control-of-justice-department.html]stop investigating him and to focus instead on his political opponents[/link].
[b]He graded himself.[/b]
He got an A+, of course.

[h1]U.S. intelligence: Putin authorized influence operations to hurt Biden’s candidacy[/h1]
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Tuesday released a [link=https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/ICA-declass-16MAR21.pdf]declassified report[/link] on foreign actors’ attempts to influence and interfere in the 2020 election.

[b]Russia: [/b]The U.S. intelligence community assessed that Russian President Vladimir Putin authorized influence operations aimed at denigrating President Biden’s candidacy, supporting former President Trump, undermining public confidence in the election and sowing divisions.[b]China: [/b]The report assesses that Beijing “did not deploy interference efforts and considered but did not deploy influence efforts” intended to change the outcome of the election.
