Paper Trail of Trump Deal w/Russian Financial Interests During Campaign Rumored

from Crooks and Liars:



GOP political consultant Mike Murphy dropped a tasty rumor in a conversation with Lawrence O'Donnell last night about Trump:

"The president does what the president wants and there's a bunch of guys running after him trying to clean up after him 24/7, which is completely it's exhausting. I don't think there's any strategy or anything, I think it's all Trump-driven.

"But I'll give you one salacious rumor, because it's Russia Speculation Night, I was walking around Beverly Hills -- and God, I don't want to be pulled in by Mueller on this, because I don't know anything. But I was walking around international businessmen who I know pretty well, swore me to secrecy, said you can say it on TV, 'A friend of mine got pulled in by Mueller asking about a memorandum of understanding for a deal that Trump had with Russian financial interests during the 2016 campaign, and Mueller has the document,' " he said.

"So that is my contribution to the cloud of speculation. I believe this guy's credible, but I have no way of knowing if this is true."

British Intelligence had intercepted a stream of communications between Team Trump and Moscow back in 2016 - that was in the New Yorker article yesterday about the second Steele Dossier.

You don't use the word "stream" if it's just a few emails back and forth...

Otherwise, how many business deals did he ink with Russia during the election that he's lied about?

Feb. last year how our allies have been helping in that search. Unnamed Baltic states were mentioned, along with Germany. Conceivably help has/is being received from other countries who very early on recognized the danger. We are not alone.
