NY Mag: Beyond Russia - Understanding the new Trump collusion story.

http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/05/understanding-the-new-trump-campaign-collusion-story.html

"It seems the Russians weren’t the only foreign power trying to hook up with Donald Trump Jr. and give a boost to the Trump campaign ahead of the 2016 election. The New York Times reported on Saturday there was yet another secret Trump Tower meeting during the campaign where the president’s son and aides met with shadowy foreigners offering to help Make America Great Again. On August 3, 2016, instead of Russians offering dirt on Hillary Clinton, an emissary for the crown princes of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates said the de facto rulers were eager to help Trump win the White House,
and the offer reportedly got an approving response from Trump Jr. An Israeli expert in “social media manipulation” was there too, and explained how his company could give the Trump campaign an advantage. Both offers, if accepted, would have violated U.S. election laws, and special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigators have already been looking into this and other subsequent meetings."

They were all helping trump because they own him, and can control him, especially Putin. I fear Putin and the Prince will start assassinations here like in their countries soon. Hope Mueller is well protected from these people, and from trump. Putin and the Prince have murdered opposition many times before, and they are desperate to stop him and his investigation now. It will get worse before it gets better for us here.
