Title: 'Trump's Son Should Be Concerned': FBI Obtained Wiretaps Of Putin Ally Who Met With Trump Jr.
Post by: edpc on May 26, 2018, 12:43:34 am
The FBI has obtained secret wiretaps collected by Spanish police of conversations involving Alexander Torshin, a deputy governor of Russia’s Central Bank who has forged close ties with U.S. lawmakers and the National Rifle Association, that led to a meeting with Donald Trump Jr. during the gun lobby’s annual convention in Louisville, Ky., in May 2016, a top Spanish prosecutor said Friday.

José Grinda, who has spearheaded investigations into Spanish organized crime, said that bureau officials in recent months requested and were provided transcripts of wiretapped conversations between Torshin and Alexander Romanov, a convicted Russian money launderer. On the wiretaps, Romanov refers to Torshin as “El Padrino,” the godfather.

“Just a few months ago, the wiretaps of these telephone conversations were given to the FBI,” Grinda said in response to a question from Yahoo News during a talk he gave at the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington. Asked if he was concerned about Torshin’s meetings with Donald Trump Jr. and other American political figures, Grinda replied: “Mr. Trump’s son should be concerned.”

Righttt.

Why would a Spanish prosecutor have any skin in this game?  If the Spanish prosecutor says jr should be concerned, that’s something that should be given due consideration.

He wouldn’t, but the conversations and transcripts on their own don’t mean much. If there is corroborating information in Mueller’s possession, that would be a problem. I’m not sure how the Spanish prosecutor would know about that.

Never mind all that...this is about a Russian with ties to the NRA.  I'll  bet he has horns under that furry hat, and a commie flag tacked up on the wall inside of his garage.

Stormy Daniels is "One ol' drunk chick" and Bannen's the "Fellow with green teeth."  The man was a prophet.  Hopefully The Devil Went Down to Georgia wasn't another prophesy.
