Top officials on Donald Trump’s presidential campaign rebuffed requests from a lower level volunteer seeking meetings between the then-real estate mogul and Russian government, according to email exchanges leaked to The Washington Post.


quote:

According to The Post, George Papadopoulos, an energy consultant, sent a half-dozen emails to Trump campaign officials suggesting and requesting meetings between Trump and members of the Russian government, including Vladimir Putin.

The campaign emails, which were read to The Post by an unidentified source, reveal a previously-undisclosed connection between a member of the Trump campaign and the Russian government. Papadopoulos indicated in some of the emails that he had contacts close to the Russian government.




quote:

But the exchanges also run counter to the allegations that the campaign colluded with the Russian government prior to the election.

That’s because Papadopoulos, a former research fellow at the conservative Hudson Institute, had his requests for meetings shot down by campaign officials, including policy director Sam Clovis.




quote:

We thought we probably should not go forward with any meeting with the Russians until we have had occasion to sit with our NATO allies,” Clovis responded, according to The Post.


quote:

The Post’s source for the emails is unclear.


Someone on the fricking witch Hunt is leaking shite to the press.


quote:

Russia has been eager to meet with Mr. Trump for some time and have been reaching out to me to discuss,” Papadopoulos wrote.

Manafort appears to have shrugged at the idea. He forwarded the message to his business partner, Rick Gates, saying that “We need someone to communicate that DT is not doing these trips.”




quote:

Manafort’s response to Papadopoulos’ request is “concrete evidence that the Russia collusion narrative is fake news,” Manafort spokesman Jason Maloni told The Post.

“Mr. Manafort’s swift action reflects the attitude of the campaign — any invitation by Russia, directly or indirectly, would be rejected outright.”





We've wasted a fricking YEAR and millions of tax payer dollars on a big fat nothing burger.

Someone should go to jail over this shite.

This will be reported by zero MSM sources. It may as well not even exist.

Assuming this is real, Sessions should withdraw his recusal and fire Mueller.

When the Russian angle died, the White Nationalist sympathizer angle was the next obvious step in the evolution lady cycle.

It's so fricking predictable it's pathetic. But watch the tards eat it up.

Those kids shouldn't have given them the ammo. But I think it will be okay - the left is already blowing their golden opportunity to appear the reasonable party.

That's probably why the Charlottesville story has been taking up so much space. Need to change the subject from Russia. God what a stupid arse investigation.

You guys still don't see it coming yet but I predict that inside of a month we're going to see stories with Anonymous sources linking Trump or his team directly to the organizers of the Charlottesville event. Then the Democrats will spend several more months believing bullshite with no actual evidence

Yep, obviously a planted smokescreen to hide the real collusion

But there is still that obstruction of justice to investigate!

I love how his foreign policy team must have been made up of bums off the street looking for a free meal.

Who did you think was the most unhinged poster here during the reign of your king Obama?

That person is sane compared to you no matter who you select.
