Dump lets Russians into the Whitehouse

Unsupervised and with recording equipment (photo, video, and audio) plus he keeps out the United States press and Republicans have the gall to claim there is "no collusion"?

It's right there in front of our eyes!

6. US press was excluded specifically so the presence of Russian spy recruiter Sislyak would remain

secret. Trump and his inner circle of colluders/minders assumed their Russian BFFs would never expose their ploy like that. Notice that Sislyak's presence was not mentioned in the administration's read out of the meet & greet with Lavrov, nor was he shown in the official administration pictures of the event.

Like his entire inner circle, Trump prefers for his meetings with high level Russian spies to remain secret.


LOL: My idiot autocorrect changed administration to admin distraction. Maybe it is not quite as stupid as I thought!

8. That is just my analysis of the widely reported facts:

1. US press excluded but Russian photographers allowed in.
2. Many Trump people (including Jeff Sessions and SIL Jared) have not only met in secret with Sislyak, but have then deliberately failed to disclose the meetings, even when legally required to.
3. Sislyak's presence deliberately omitted from official administration read out of meeting with Lavrov.
4. Sislyak not included in administration's official photos of meeting.
5. US IC says Sislyak is top Russian spy recruiter in US.
6. Admin is upset that photos with Sislyak were made public. (IOW, as I see it, we were not supposed to know he was there.)

ALL of these details have been widely reported. I am just offering my interpretation of what they mean.
