Quote:
The FBI has obtained secret wiretaps collected by Spanish police of conversations involving Alexander Torshin, a deputy governor of Russia’s Central Bank who has forged close ties with U.S. lawmakers and the National Rifle Association, that led to a meeting with Donald Trump Jr. during the gun lobby’s annual convention in Louisville, Ky., in May 2016, a top Spanish prosecutor said Friday.
José Grinda, who has spearheaded investigations into Spanish organized crime, said that bureau officials in recent months requested and were provided transcripts of wiretapped conversations between Torshin and Alexander Romanov, a convicted Russian money launderer. On the wiretaps, Romanov refers to Torshin as “El Padrino,” the godfather.

Trump Jr. denied that he was was aware of any foreign governments or foreign nationals offering help to his father’s campaign. That’s inconsistent with reporting that came out on May 19th in the New York Times. Apparently, both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates very explicitly offered to help the Trump campaign, and they did so through a known pedophile named George Nader who is now cooperating with the Mueller investigator. Not only that, but the pitch came in meeting in Trump Tower that was chaired by Donald Trump Jr.
Seems pretty damn shady...

Torshin owns and represents companies that were sanctioned by the US in 2014. In particular, the gun manufacturer Kalishnakov was banned from doing any business with Americans. Additionally, the sanctions passed in 2017 required that the sanctions be expanded to so that any business or country doing business with kalishnakov also be sanctioned. Trump has refused to implement those new rules. I wonder why.

Assuming you are serious, if this is more "nothingburger" then why would Jr lie about it in the first place? Why not just admit to meeting with Russians and officials from other countries? Seems like lying would be pointless if you have nothing to hide.

We know trump planned on easing sanctions against Russia when he took office. That is why congress had to put them into law, so he couldn't. Torshin paid $30 million to get the kalishnakov sanctions lifted. This is obvious.

Doesn't the executive have to sign for sanctions? Did he?
-------------------- “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

So now alleged wiretaps obtained illegally under usa standards become facts and proof somehow? If they had wiretapped obama saying something illegal you would predictably be on the other side saying he never said that and the ones who recorded it should be punished.
