On the wiretaps, Romanov refers to Torshin as “El Padrino,” the godfather. “Just a few months ago, the wiretaps of these telephone conversations were given to the FBI,” Grinda said in response to a question from Yahoo News during a talk he gave at the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington. Asked if he was concerned about Torshin’s meetings with Donald Trump Jr. and other American political figures, Grinda replied: “Mr. Trump’s son should be concerned.”

t-the russia probe is pointless

It really is incredible that they've been able to uncover so much. I'm not sure if I'm simply impressed that the FBI is this good at its job, or somehow further surprised by the incompetency of the collusion.

guys haha stop please I mean it

"NO COLLUSION!"

Just not the one in the White House yet.

or both

They haven't found ANYTHING!

meanwhile: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/05/26/swamp-diary-trump-spy-hunter-218545 The “spy” in question turns out to be Stefan A. Halper, Republican stalwart and University of Cambridge professor emeritus who worked for the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations and George H.W. Bush’s campaign. (If this be the Deep State, maybe it’s not as dark and mysterious as we thought.) He allegedly spied on President Jimmy Carter’s 1980 campaign for Reagan, and some say he used former CIA agents to gather his information. As much as Trump would like you to believe that Halper was a spy and not a legitimate informant working on an investigation, he can’t get independent voices with clout (outside of Kimberley A. Strassel of the Wall Street Journal editorial page) to echo his opinions. This week, a leading member of the president’s party, Sen. Lindsey O. Graham of South Carolina (who didn’t attend the briefings), declined an invitation to endorse the Trump view. “A confidential informant is not a spy,” Graham said succinctly. Republicans who attended the briefing were mum, ducking out without speaking to reporters. Democrats who attended—Rep. Adam Schiff, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Chuck Schumer, and Sen. Mark Warner—were adamant in insisting that no “spying” had occurred. Even Rudy Giuliani, who had asserted his boss’ right to know if Halper had gathered exculpatory evidence in his conversations with George Papadopoulos and Carter Page, didn’t suggest afterward that anything like that had emerged. what a fucking embarrassment.

Giuliani has even admitted that this was basically a fishing trip to try and bolster the Trump movement against the investigations, and it's achieved fucking nothing except reinforcing the investigations and showing Trump to be a shameless liar with something to hide Good job, Devin Nunes.

b....b-but the emails!
