Muellers Russia investigation turns its attention to Ivanka Trump

https://shareblue.com/muellers-russia-investigation-turns-its-attention-to-ivanka-trump/#.WlD6j1TsJe0.twitter

Investigators are reportedly looking into Ivanka Trump's contacts with Russian officials who attended the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting, marking the first known time that she has come under scrutiny in the federal probe.

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team is reportedly looking into Ivanka Trump’s communications with Russian officials who attended the controversial June 2016 Trump Tower meeting.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Ivanka Trump did not take part in the meeting but did have an exchange with a Russian attorney and a Russian-American lobbyist who did attend the meeting.

Now, Mueller’s team wants to know more about the first daughter’s communication with attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya and lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin. The exchange reportedly took place as the two were leaving the Trump Tower meeting, which was also attended by Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

The meeting has become a major focus in the ongoing federal investigation since it was revealed that the Russian attorney promised to deliver damaging information about Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump Jr.

(Murdoch's x-wife) in August 2016 in Croatia. Why would you take a vacation in the middle of the campaign unless it had something to do with the Russia conspiracy.

...meaning they're both in the soup together. I look for Jar-Jar* to be indicted by Mueller.

There are several pics of all 3 of them. They were on land as well as on David Geffen's yacht offshore.

If it is...well we know that there was $$$$$$ involved too. Birds of a feather.

On another note...discrepancies from Bannon and what we see as mere outsiders. Bannon said that Ivanka is scared to death about Mueller and the investigation, yet she is shopping around DC for a home to buy at the same time. How does this make any sense?

And many of us remember this incident involving her!



ETA - I expect Ivanka is shopping houses because she and Jared are obviously still working in the administration plus they do have kids that need to reside somewhere with them.

Her entire life has been lived in the bubble of billionaire children. Daddy and his friends take care of all those inconvenient things so there are never any personal consequences. I’m sure she believes he’ll take care of this too. It’s what she always known.

What woman would "vacation" leaving a brand new newborn (I'm being redundant on purpose) behind unless something was up. I've always considered that trip nefariously suspect.

makes a good point about Wendy Deng and Ivanka. Apparently, Deng was the moving force behind getting Ivanka and Jared Kushner together, to get them married. I hadn't ever heard that before. Putin's old girlfriend, and Rupert's ex, playing Cupid's assistant to hook up the princess and Kushner. It just reeks, all of it, and every time you think you've heard it all, something else pops up.

If nothing else put her under oath and charge her on a process crime. I hope ivanka and Jared both rot in jail along with don jr and Eric.
I hope the DOJ takes all their kids including little Barron and puts them in foster homes to be raised by proper Democrats.

These rotten thieves will be going away to prison forever by the time Mueller gets done with them.
