FBI Obtained Wiretaps of Russian Who Met with Trump Jr.

“The FBI has obtained secret wiretaps collected by Spanish police of conversations involving Alexander Torshin, a deputy governor of Russia’s Central Bank who has forged close ties with U.S. lawmakers and the National Rifle Association, that led to a meeting with Donald Trump Jr. during the gun lobby’s annual convention in Louisville, Ky., in May 2016,” Yahoo News reports.

“José Grinda, who has spearheaded investigations into Spanish organized crime, said that bureau officials in recent months requested and were provided transcripts of wiretapped conversations between Torshin and Alexander Romanov, a convicted Russian money launderer.”

Said Grinda: “Just a few months ago, the wiretaps of these telephone conversations were given to the FBI. Mr. Trump’s son should be concerned.”

with our foreign allies. Australia and now Spain have collected useful info and passed it on to us. What are the fucking moron and Guiliani going to do now, tell Nunez and Gowdy go to other countries and ask for their spies' info?

Since its material from a foreign intelligence service. It's safe from Trump political appointees making it go like they are trying to do with Cohen SAR reports .

And he's going to say its because the "Deep State" colluded with Spain to spy on us, and because all the evidence used against him was fake news.

This pus dripping tiny-testicled moron will pardon him because he likes the feeling of power. It will have nothing to do with Jr being family. That only matters with his one hot daughter.
