For several days, the identity of the 8th person who attended a meeting with Donald Trump Jr. and other top campaign officials in June 2016 has remained a mystery.

On Tuesday, the 8th person was identified: Irakly Kaveladze.

Kaveladze, a U.S. citizen who was born in the former soviet republic of Georgia, currently works for the Agalarovs as a vice president of their family company, Crocus International. But Kaveladze also has a checkered history.

1. Sounds like a Russian ban is needed!

2. How convenient in the quid pro quo scheme of Trumputin

This guy's resume as master at money laundering using fake real estate loans and anonymous shell companies explains why his identity was kept under wraps for over a week.

3. He has more shell companies than Donald.

Wow!

4. I have not heard any Rethug talk about changing laws re shell companies.

What department would that fall under? Commerce? Treasury?

Shell companies were addressed in some hearings, with Comey, I believe, and perhaps some in the IC agencies?
