Dana Rohrabacher, a staunch advocate of policies that would help Russia, two sources with knowledge of the investigation told NBC News. The meeting allegedly took place in Washington the evening of Sept. 20, while Flynn was working as an adviser to Trump’s presidential campaign. It was arranged by his lobbying firm, the Flynn Intel Group. Also in attendance were Flynn’s business partners, Bijan Kian and Brian McCauley, and Flynn’s son, Michael G. Flynn, who worked closely with his father, the sources said. Mueller is reviewing emails sent from Flynn Intel Group to Rohrabacher’s congressional staff thanking them for the meeting, according to one of the sources, as part of his probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.[/quote] If you don't know Rohrabacher, you may remember that he was one of the two people who, in a [url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/house-majority-leader-to-colleagues-in-2016-i-think-putin-pays-trump/2017/05/17/515f6f8a-3aff-11e7-8854-21f359183e8c_story.html]leaked recording[/url], was named by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy as one of the "two people I think Putin pays" - the other being Donald Trump. Trying something new to help explain this to newcomers, here's a chart of Flynn's current situation: [img]https://i.imgur.com/OiIuqZl.png[/img]

Well, I'm glad the investigation's probing more than just the administration's Russia ties. It's a cancer that needs to be excised from the USA asap.

It just links to the news article, and I don't see anything regarding a recording there.

Fixed BTW, best part of that story: [quote]When initially asked to comment on the exchange, Brendan Buck, a spokesman for Ryan, said: “That never happened,” and Matt Sparks, a spokesman for McCarthy, said: “The idea that McCarthy would assert this is absurd and false.” After being told that The Post would cite a recording of the exchange, Buck, speaking for the GOP House leadership, said: “This entire year-old exchange was clearly an attempt at humor. No one believed the majority leader was seriously asserting that Donald Trump or any of our members were being paid by the Russians. What’s more, the speaker and leadership team have repeatedly spoken out against Russia’s interference in our election, and the House continues to investigate that activity.”[/quote]

[QUOTE=Bob The Knob;52876850]Woops! Fixed BTW, best part of that story:[/QUOTE] That is pretty funny. I mean as a guy I can already sense the bullshit, especially after "attempt at humor" It's like when you get caught doing bad or you said something you shouldn't have and you pull "I was just being funny" when in actuality you actually did what said. I use to pull that card all the time. "Baby, I was joking of course I wouldn't want a 3some with her, she's ugly, it was a joke" I wish we could get outta hole we're in with this lying sacks of crap.

[QUOTE]No leaks, all right?,” Ryan said, adding: “This is how we know we’re a real family here.” “That’s how you know that we’re tight,” Scalise said. “What’s said in the family stays in the family,” Ryan added.[/QUOTE] The fact american lawmakers have this response about potential Russian meddling is equally depressing and terrifying.
