Three months before the 2016 election, a small group gathered at Trump Tower to meet with Donald Trump Jr., the presidents eldest son. One was an Israeli specialist in social media manipulation. Another was an emissary for two wealthy Arab princes. The third was a Republican donor with a controversial past in the Middle East as a private security contractor, the New York Times reports.
The meeting was convened primarily to offer help to the Trump team, and it forged relationships between the men and Trump insiders that would develop over the coming months past the election and well into President Trumps first year in office.
The meetings, which have not been reported previously, are the first indication that countries other than Russia may have offered assistance to the Trump campaign in the months before the presidential election. The interactions are a focus of the investigation by Robert Mueller, the special counsel, who was originally tasked with examining possible Trump campaign coordination with Russia in the election.

Wow. They threw everything they had at her.
May they all end up broken men for their part in the theft of our democracy.
To the pain!

This is the kind of stuff I fear is getting lost while everyone fixates on the bright, shiny object that has been dangled in front of them this morning, and for the past several weeks.
