wanted to know was - did anyone hear anything I said about Russia while I was in TT. And, everyone fell for it - and immediately said NOOOOOO, you weren't taped. He probably laughed himself to sleep that night.

mean Trump, JUNIOR, "floated the story"?

Hence, my question as to which man you mean, Senior or Junior (OP's subject).

I have heard everything he has ever said, everything. You have to look at it through the eyes of a liar and a conniver.

Like he said the other day...Russia most likely was involved in hack but could have been others. I have learned he can not keep a secret - and he divulges every thing. He and Putin DID arrange the hack - and likely Putin, et al...told him "no one will know...we will run it all through another country." And Trump, can not stand that people are saying it's Russia. He can not stand it when he thinks people are on the wrong track.

into dialogue. He's completely self-serving, but he thinks no one notices.

Check this out. Now Putin is saying he's going to get the White House to "fix" what it releases about Russia's interference:

thats was until some despicable people from the USA were involved in the abuse of adoptees. Dima Yakovlev Law passed and signed by Putin.

My cousin's kid is an adoptee, it was done via the church and monetary expenses. Most of the judges involved in the legal process were women, who handled it all.

Are government officials allowed to hold talks with any foreign officials? Is that against the current law?

Were the DTJ meeting with Russian held before the election? Is it illegal for candidates or their surrogates to talk to foreigners?

And it's not a mere matter of speaking to "foreigners."

Is this topic sudden news to you??

From what I have seen in news, almost all Trump surrogates had meetings with foreigners, especially Russians. But none of them are in jail. That tells me it must be legal.

I am not a lawyer, but my guess is any foreigner can help any candidate here so long as it is not direct contributions.

I've been waiting for this to break. I expected it two weeks ago, but perhaps it is better that it comes out just as Trump returns from Europe.
