Then, said Malloch, "The questions got more detailed about my involvement in the Trump campaign (which was informal and unpaid); whom I communicated with; whom I knew and how well — they had a long list of names."

He said they asked him about former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone, author Jerome Corsi and WikiLeaks. Malloch said he told them he met Stone a total of three times and always with groups of people, and that Corsi had helped edit one of his books years ago.

"What could they want from me — a policy wonk and philosophical defender of Trump?" said Malloch. "I am not an operative, have no Russia contacts, and—aside from appearing on air and in print often to defend and congratulate our President — have done nothing wrong. What message does this send?"

1. One at a time. Just lock them all up.

2. A person can be a witness to a crime without being a suspect.

So, of course, the police or the independent counsel want to talk to you.

3. "-have done nothing wrong. What message does this send"?

Take comfort in the fact that we live in a nation of laws, which your apparent champion is trying his best to subvert. Take comfort also, that your proclaimed innocence didn't result in some 20 rounds headed your way, with 8 of them hitting you and 6 of those hitting you in the back

4. "What message does this send?"

A good one.

The message is that in spite of Trump threats to fire, disparagement of law enforcement and firing of deputy director McCabe hours before his retirement, the FBI and Mueller are continuing to do their jobs by checking out leads like this guy.

5. If it were possible for someone to have the look of a lying, traitor scumbag, it would be him.

So smug and arrogant—like a fucking lying Nazi.

6. "What could they want from me?" Yeah, it's not as if he was involved in fraud during bankruptcy

which would mark him down as someone extremely likely to collude with Trump, who is involved in fraud and bankruptcy. Oh, hang on:

In February 2017, the Financial Times reported that Ted Malloch embellished or falsified seven claims in his memoir Davos, Aspen & Yale: My Life Behind the Elite Curtain as a Global Sherpa.[5] The alleged false claims include his documentary being Emmy-nominated, that he had written for the New York Times and Washington Post, that he held a professorship at Oxford University, and that he had completed his "doctoral programme" in less than three years.[5][7] In the book, Malloch claimed that he was "knighted in the Sovereign Order of St John by the Queen, Elizabeth II herself".[5][7] The Financial Times claimed he was actually awarded a medal of St. John which is not awarded in an investiture attended by the Queen, while Malloch later responded that he was inducted into the Sovereign Order of St John and has "a letter stating ... the award comes through The Queen".[5][6][7] Malloch had also claimed that The Lord Lyon of Scotland awarded him as a Laird his coat of arms in 2006; however, the Financial Times quoted the Clerk of the Court of the Lord Lyon, as saying "Lord Lyon does not, nor could he, create a person a laird".[5][7] Later in the month, Breitbart published an article written by Malloch in which he refuted the allegations by the Financial Times, labeling it "the EU’s house journal". The Financial Times also obtained bankruptcy court records revealing that a US court had found that Malloch had overstated his assets on loan applications with the intent to deceive the banks into making multi-million dollar loans; the couple had claimed assets of £36.3 million when applying for the loans, but claimed thay had just $152,000 at the time of their 2013 bankruptcy petition and were unable to repay $5.9 million in outstanding debt.

Why might they suspect a Trump ally with a known history of lying and fraud, allegedly put forward as a Trump ambassador, and who claimed to be in constant contact with Trump during the campaign???

7. "Groups of people" Trump Crime Family and Russian intel
