    Strange that NBC wouldn't name him.
    Maybe because NBC is still considering him a private citizen for the moment...

    Trump Jr repeatedly insisted on Hannity that he has shared all there is to share on the subject.  I feel like I should be surprised that he lied again.

    Russian 'Gun-For-Hire' Lurks In Shadows Of Washington's Lobbying World

    "That it was shown at all was a small coup for Rinat Akhmetshin, the man at the back of the room who for nearly 20 years has worked the shadowy corners of the Washington lobbying scene on behalf of businessmen and politicians from around the former Soviet Union.

    "I call him skilled because -- though I am certain that they exist -- I know of no Russian gun-for-hire who managed to run his campaigns so successfully, running circles around purportedly much more seasoned Washington hands,” says Steve LeVine, a veteran Washington reporter who explored some of Akhmetshin’s past work in his 2007 book The Oil And The Glory."

    Sounds like a great guy from reading this. Nothing good to spin if he indeed was in the room.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Funny how there is always a Clinton connection
    renaissance capital
    imf loans
    Funny how all roads lead back to Oh Loretta
    fisa warrants
    unmasking
    approving expired visa
    tapping Manafort phone

    like I said shiz about to get ugly!

    Apparently this guy was previously accused in federal and state courts of orchestrating an international hacking conspiracy.

    Back to the Obama wiretap diversion. Sure, that will make all of Trump's problems go away. Embarrassing.

    Trump Tower Russia meeting: At least eight people in the room - CNN
    Talks about it being this guy: Rinat Akhmetshin
    I'm sure he was only in the room for 7 minutes and left with Jared.  Probably on his phone the entire 7 minutes texting Manafort.  Nothing to see here.

    My son and I once met Alex Ovechkin in DC. Before I met Ovie a small part of me had an inkling that he might be a Russian cyborg but he seemed totally human. I hope US Intel  hasn't tapped my Samsung tv to get a glimpse of that small part of me!

    Well because Trump is gonna make America great again and who doesn't want that?
    Also he is in debt to the Russians for millions and millions of dollars as no one else will lend him money to help with all his failed businesses.
