May 2018

went on that day (or others)...but here is my best shot at putting times on this day:


Okay - the tape is 7:54 long...(I don’t know what time of the day it covers exactly) -

At 2:04 - David Bossie appears, goes up

At 2:15 - Jack Ma appears, goes up

At 2:29 - McConnel leaves

At 2:58 - Spanky comes down with Ma

Vekselberg is much later!! He arrives at 6:48 on the tape and leaves at 7:18

...meanwhile, way before that, I think you’re referring to June 15, 2016?

KIEV, Ukraine — A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination, one of his closest allies in Congress — House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy — made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016, exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) immediately interjected, stopping the conversation from further exploring McCarthy’s assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy.

Before the conversation, McCarthy and Ryan had emerged from separate talks at the Capitol with Ukrainian Prime Minister Vladi­mir Groysman, who had described a Kremlin tactic of financing populist politicians to undercut Eastern European democratic institutions.
