December 18, 2016: Kellyanne Conway went on “Face the Nation,” and John Dickerson asked her, “Did anyone involved … in the Trump campaign have any contact with Russians trying to meddle with the election?” Conway responded, “Absolutely not. And I discussed that with the president-elect just last night. Those conversations never happened. I hear people saying it like it’s a fact on television. That is just not only inaccurate and false, but it’s dangerous.”

October 12, 2016: WikiLeaks contacted Trump Jr., urging him to ask his father to tweet WikiLeaks links (which he did). WikiLeaks contacted Trump Jr. several other times, although he stopped replying to the messages. WikiLeaks suggested to Trump Jr. that if Trump were to lose the election, Trump should not concede and instead should “[challenge] the media and other types of rigging that occurred.” These reciprocated contacts between Trump Jr. and WikiLeaks continued through the election and into summer 2017.

December, 2016: Kushner met with Gorkov. Kushner described the meeting as an official meeting in which he represented the Trump transition team, and CNN reported that a source characterized the meeting as an effort “to establish a back channel to Putin.” The Russian bank claimed that Kushner met with Gorkov in his capacity as “the head of his family’s real estate company.”

Members of the Trump team who had contacts with Russians during the campaign or transition include:

Michael Cohen
Roger Stone
Donald Trump Jr.
Jeff Sessions
Paul Manafort
J.D. Gordon
Jared Kushner
Carter Page
Michael Flynn
Erik Prince
George Papadopoulos
Anthony Scaramucci
Rick Gates

January 15, 2017: That same day, Pence also went on “Face the Nation,” where John Dickerson asked him, “Just to button up one question, did any advisor or anybody in the Trump campaign have any contact with the Russians who were trying to meddle in the election?” Pence replied, “Of course not. And I think to suggest that is to give credence to some of these bizarre rumors that have swirled around the candidacy.”

So Hillary and the Democrats worked with Russia to rig the election
so they would lose?

Steven Seagal Appointed by Russia as Special Envoy to the U.S.

The action-movie star Steven Seagal has played a former C.I.A. agent, a hit man and a killer of criminals. On Saturday, Russian officials tapped him for another role: special representative to improve relations between the United States and Russia.

The Russian Foreign Ministry announced the appointment on Facebook, saying his mission will include promoting “relations between Russia and the United States in the humanitarian field, including cooperation in culture, arts, public and youth exchanges.”

In a tweet on Sunday, Mr. Seagal said that he was “deeply humbled and honoured” by the appointment. “I hope we can strive for peace, harmony and positive results in the world,” he said. “I take this honour very seriously.”

“I’ve always had a very strong desire to do all I can to help improve Russian-American relations,” he told the Kremlin-backed television station RT. “I have worked tirelessly in this direction for many years unofficially and I am now very grateful for the opportunity to do the same thing officially.”

100% gas lighting ... NY Times; Steven Seagal Appointed by Russia as Special Envoy to the U.S.

Putin and Trump are now and have been trying to throw so much stuff agains the wall (lies, things to get >60% of Americans angry, and pure lunacy) to see what sticks.

This is being done by design so as to overwhelm us so that we question reality and stop resisting.

NY Times; Steven Seagal Appointed by Russia as Special Envoy to the U.S.
The action-movie star Steven Seagal has played a former C.I.A. agent, a hit man and a killer of criminals. On Saturday, Russian officials tapped him for another role: special representative to improve relations between the United States and Russia.

The Russian Foreign Ministry announced the appointment on Facebook, saying his mission will include promoting “relations between Russia and the United States in the humanitarian field, including cooperation in culture, arts, public and youth exchanges.”

The position is unpaid, said Russian officials, who compared the role to that of a United Nations good-will ambassador — a distinguished volunteer who calls attention to the work of the United Nations.

Relations between the two countries have been fraught as United States intelligence agencies have accused Russia of interfering in the 2016 elections and have warned it could do so again in the November contests. The countries have also been at odds over the Syrian civil war and the Russian annexation of Crimea.

Trump is coming to Central OH tomorrow for a congressional special election (and they lie)

"Change of plan: The president's OH-12 rally on Saturday afternoon has been moved from
the Delaware County fairgrounds to Olentangy Orange High School in Lewis Center "to
accommodate more Ohioans," according to a Trump press release."

https://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2018/08/trump_confuses_ohio_candidates.html

********

The Delaware County fairgrounds can hold a lot more people than Olentangy Orange High School.
Delaware County is very very republican and team Trump is scared of seeing lots of empty seats
for his "Bund Rally."
