WaPo: Emails show Trump campaign officials rejecting opportunities to meet with Russia in 2016

Via Billy


This may be the most pro-Trump Russiagate story ever to appear in a major paper. Turns out a low-level Trump foreign policy advisor named George Papadopoulos tried to set up meetings between the campaign and Russian officials starting last March, before Trump had even clinched the nomination.

Annnnnnd … some of the campaign’s major players, including Paul Manafort, just weren’t interested. Not only weren’t they interested, they were mindful of proper protocol: At least one advisor noted that meetings with a foreign state would raise Logan Act questions while another mentioned that U.S. allies should be notified before any Russia meetings happened.

  1. Any bets you never hear a peep about this on CNN, MSNBC, or the rest? If it was an honest investigation and not a witch hunt. This would be enough to derail it. But we all know Trump was to be found guilty, before the investigation started. Regardless of what the facts proved.

    3. Absolutely. He's more popular with the Democrats than the Republicans.
