[OnDoutside]

[HipChick]

1. Details? Link?

[OnDoutside]

8. He has links to Russian Intelligence, and still suspected of having links, though

denies it to MSNBC.

[OnDoutside]

2. They haven't released their name yet but said he was a known Russian mover n shaker.

[sunonmars]

6. you knew it, they waited to see how Trump responded then boom.

[OnDoutside]

9. 100% right....and I would think more to come.

[Achilleaze]

34. Dainty danglers for the republican traitors against America

[CatWoman]

7. former Russian intelligence officer

[Wounded Bear]

12. According to Heddy Lange...

undercover agents don't retire, they just go deeper.

[sunonmars]

17. russian agents dont retire, they die or get disappeared. You always work for them.

[csziggy]

43. Or they get sent to the Village

[brush]

78. So Uday lied about this too? Haven't we heard it was just him, Manafort, Kushner and the lawyer?

Now we're hearing 6 maybe 7 people?

God, all they do is lie.

[OnDoutside]

79. We know now it was AT LEAST 6...need to hear MSM ask how many more. I said elsewhere that

I believe the IC know exactly how many were there and this will come out, one by one.

[blogslut]

3. So...no identification of this additional person?

?

[OnDoutside]

11. Not yet, but it's going to come out for sure.

[C_U_L8R]

4. Orange ya just giddy with anticipation?

C'mon happy Friday.

[OnDoutside]

18. If it's what you say, I love it, not even later in the summer either !!!! ;)

[Solly Mack]

5. I'm watching. They won't name the man yet. Former Russian Intelligence Officer.

The man is denying it but there seems to be verification but MSNBC isn't naming him yet.

[HipChick]

[blaze]

35. Thanks for the link. nt

[OnDoutside]

14. Rick Tyler just said, Does this Russian appear on Jared Kushner's form, or does he have to go back

and adjust his list AGAIN ? Great point.

[Achilleaze]

36. Another mulligan for JarJar Kush (KGOP bigwig)

300 "corrections" is ok if you're a republican. Unlike ordinary Americans, republicans are special.

[Vinca]

15. The doodoo just seriously hit the fan.

They're calling the person a former spy suspected of still being connected and the lawyer a "facilitator."

[Solly Mack]

16. Yep!

[KewlKat]

48. that makes sense.

[dalton99a]

19. A Russian-American lobbyist who worked for Soviet counterintelligence

[C_U_L8R]

21. Alright, no more mulligans on the security clearances

There need to be some arrests within Trump's inner circle, posthaste. This a clear, present and ongoing danger.

[Solly Mack]

20. Still not naming the russian-american lobbyist with ties to russian intelligence.

Last update before the break.

I hope they name him soon.

[Mr. Ected]

22. Boris Epshteyn? eom

[OnDoutside]

24. That occurred to me. I don't know if it's a good thing if it is him, as they can probably knock that

away, for a while anyway.

[KewlKat]

49. i dont think he served in russian military?

[OnDoutside]

23. I got one right from last Tuesday !

Two people were meeting with Donnie, who was the second ?

[OnDoutside]

27. Oh goody ! I hope it is.

[Solly Mack]

28. That's a real possibility.

Manafort's guy.

[OnDoutside]

30. Konstantin Kilimnik was an associate of Donald Trumps former campaign chairman Paul Manafort

Kilimnik worked for the U.S.-based International Republican Institute out of Moscow for almost 10 years before he was forced out. He was reportedly forced out of his job because of suspicion about his ties to Russia. He then started working with Manafort.

According to its “About Us” page on its website, the organization is a “nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that is committed to freedom and democracy worldwide by helping political parties to become more issue-based and responsive, assisting citizens to participate in government planning, and working to increase the role of marginalized groups in the political process –- including women and youth.”

It has a staff of about 400 people and is headquartered out of Washington D.C. Its president is Mark Green, a former Republican congressman and former candidate for governor in Wisconsin.

The IRI is funded by the U.S. government and reported a budget of $78 million in 2008. The chairman of the board is U.S. Senator John McCain and its board boasts such members as Rep. Kay Granger and Sen. Tom Cotton.

[Not Ruth]

31. This Russian worked for McCain according to the article

[madaboutharry]

26. "Someone with ties to Moscow..."

Willy Geist is saying the suspicion is it is a RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE OFFICER (SPY)!

I don't see how this can go on.

[dalton99a]

29. Betcha Putin has a nice recording of the proceedings

[C_U_L8R]

32. Trump may not want to come back to the country.

But it would be lovely if he was greeted by the FBI on the tarmac.

[D_Master81]

33. well well well

[sunonmars]

[Solly Mack]

38. MSNBC guest asking where is the patriotism of the right?

[KewlKat]

[Solly Mack]

[dalton99a]

54. Chuck Grassley knew about him

https://www.circa.com/story/2017/04/05/nation/a-key-senator-said-a-former-russian-spy-is-lobbying-without-registering-as-a-foreign-agent

A key senator said a former Russian spy is lobbying without registering as a foreign agent
April 05, 2017 08:57 AM EDT

An admitted former Russian spy who now works as a lobbyist in Washington and has been tied to the creators of the unverified Trump dossier may have lobbied against Russian sanctions, according to a letter by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA).

Grassley requested all immigration information available on Rinat Akhmetshin, a Russian citizen who became an American citizen in 2009, in a letter written Tuesday. He cited a July 2016 complaint alleging Akhmetshin had not registered as a foreign agent as required by law.

Akhmetshin was described by Radio Free Europe as a "Russian gun-for-hire [lurking] in the shadows of Washington's lobbying world." In one interview, he admitted to having worked as a Soviet counterintelligence officer. In another interview, he denied it. He would have had to mention his intelligence work when applying for U.S. citizenship.

He allegedly worked with Fusion GPS, the company behind the unverified dossier that claimed ties between President Trump and Russia.

[OnDoutside]

74. Fusion GPS....Well, well, well, well .... now isn't that a coincidence ? !!!

[sunonmars]

41. Source at @washingtonpost says NBC News not naming RU intel officer at FBI request.

[PearliePoo2]

42. WHO is leaking this stuff?

BOOM!

[KewlKat]

44. she was accompanied "by at least one other man"

wTF does that mean? Were there more? How about women?

[sunonmars]

45. Maybe they are drawing them out, deny, then supply who was there.....Gotcha!

[babylonsister]

47. The fact that dumbass dt jr., who

spilled everything, didn't spill this is telling.

[ouija]

51. Not a Manafort guy

Why would they need the Russian lawyer if it's was a Manafort guy? Doubt it's him.

[C_U_L8R]

52. There's a lot of unspilled just waitin to be exposed

Junior thought he could get away with revealing just a semi-spicy tidbit so they could call the matter closed. Well... oops.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

57. But, but, he was sooooo transparent!

Transparently dishonest, that is.

[brush]

80. And he bragged about his tranparency yet didn't mention this other guy in the room

Can't he get any dumber, like that's not going to come out?

[spanone]

50. lying liars....

[Mr. Ected]

53. They could put Putin in that room and the Trump base would YAWN

The good news is, Bob Mueller is not counted among the Trump base.

[Hieronymus]

55. Trump was in Trump Tower when ..

the meeting took place and had met with Manafort earlier.

[Solly Mack]

56. Name the person already! Don't leave us hanging.

[bigtree]

58. Russian born lobbyist, former Soviet military

...counterintelligence - MSNBC Ken Dillian

[Ilsa]

60. Yeah, Mystery Man denies currently having ties to GRU or

Russian intelligence.

They will have to reveal this. I don't see how they can avoid it.

[Solly Mack]

59. Jr's lawyer saying Jr knew very little about the mystery man.

Anyone want to bet that's a lie?

[wishstar]

61. Breaking: Trump Jr lawyer as of 8:30 am told NBC there were 2 people besides lawyer and translator

Not just the Russian American with connections to Russian intelligence, but ANOTHER person who they described as friends of Emin Agalarov and the lawyer

[FailureToCommunicate]

62. Jeez, that meeting room is getting crowded as people's memory clears!

Wonder if the sound of rattling handcuffs that is helping their collective remembering.

[FSogol]

63. Mike Pence?

[Gothmog]

64. This will be fun to watch

[WinkyDink]

65. MSNBC now is suggesting NOT the lobbyist. It's explosive, so IMO-----PENCE or SESSIONS.

[VermontKevin]

67. Or Ivanka.

[MelissaB]

69. I'll take Ivanka for $100 as well.

[malaise]

77. I'll take Sessions for $2,000

Alex

[yallerdawg]

66. This might have been a set-up by the media!

"There were four people in the room."

The son, the son-in-law, the campaign manager.

And the Russian lawyer - who speaks and reads no English.

Even Fox News gave Junior chance after chance to come clean about at least some kind of 'translator'!

But they couldn't even admit to that!

[WinkyDink]

68. I'm sure Hillary was behind it all.

[Ligyron]

75. Oh no it was Lynch's fault according to RW CT fans

[WinkyDink]

82. I knew it was some woman Democrat. We should start the "Eve Party," with an apple as our symbol.

[klook]

70. Obama, of course.

In the microwave, listening and watching.

[NastyRiffraff]

71. This is sounding more and more like

Spy vs Spy. Donnie and Jared WAY over their heads though. Manafort knows what's going on.

[Yavin4]

72. Exclusive: Photo of Don Jr's meeting

[klook]

81. From the Trump Bros. movie "A Night at the Soap Opera" (nt)

[blondebanshee]

73. Rinat Akhmetshin
