I thought Trump had stopped such leaks.
Interesting to see if the WH will hand over such information without a fight and hopefully, that information will be leaked to the press also.

Less than two weeks before Donald Trump accepted the Republican presidential nomination, his campaign chairman offered to provide briefings on the race to a Russian billionaire closely aligned with the Kremlin, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Well, I can certainly understand why the Russians might want this. The Kremlin certainly wasn't getting the facts about the election from US based new sources and polling, so a competing perspective might have been helpful.

Why am I not surprised that you would defend the Trump campaign colluding with the Russians?

is not a smiley. is a smiley. That said, I'd say it's pretty clear that Trump's Campaign Manager and former National Security Advisor both face indictments, probably along with a few more members of the Trump crime family.

Thank you smiley police.
As Sol Wachtler famously quipped, a good prospector could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. There's no evidence, however, to suggest anyone did anything warranting criminal prosecution.

It seems that the judges who granted the no-knock search warrant and FISA warrants were convinced otherwise. Manafort and Flynn not registering as foreign agents is indeed a crime, as is lying on security clearance forms, not to mention money-laundering. Mueller's team would not have told Manafort that he should expect an indictment if it were not so. These two clowns are as sleazy as the day is long. Just because Rush Limbaugh thinks the Trump crime family is clean doesnt make it so.

Facebook has decided to turn over to Congress copies of more than 3,000 online political advertisements bought through Russian accounts during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, reversing a decision that had frustrated Capitol Hill investigators, company officials said Thursday.

No reason to bring Yosemite Sam into this, Trump has enough people ready to indict his sorry ass.
