Donald Trump Jr. Was Likely Paid at Least $50,000 for Event Held by Hosts Allied With

President Donald Trump’s eldest son was likely paid at least $50,000 for an appearance late last year before a French think tank whose founder and his wife are allies of the Russian government in efforts to end the war in Syria.

Donald Trump Jr. addressed a dinner on Oct. 11 at the Ritz Hotel in Paris, hosted by the Center of Political and Foreign Affairs. Its president, Fabien Baussart, and his Syrian-born wife, Randa Kassis, have cooperated with Russia in its drive to end the Syrian civil war, according to U.S., European and Arab officials.

In December, Mr. Baussart formally nominated Russian President Vladimir Putin for the Nobel Peace Prize.

That's why there are three ongoing FBI investigations, Flynn resigned and Sessions recused himself. Because it's bull****.

Ongoing investigations. Although going by your brand of logic, if the FBI concluded today that Trump colluded with Putin and provided a time-stamped video of Trump agreeing to do Putin's bidding as President, you would claim that was more evidence that this is all bull****.

In any case, you tacitly agreed that this is not bull**** by virtue of the fact that Flynn resigned and Sessions recused himself.

I'm wondering if Putin cares at all. If Putin is trying to save Trump's ***. Or, if he thinks its all amusing reindeer games.

Because Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort did extensive lobbying in the Ukraine for pro-Russian former President Viktor Yanukovych. Because today Jeff Sessions joined Michael Flynn in getting caught lying about communications to Russia. Because Rex Tillerson is a national friend of Russia. And Putin said he was sad he couldn't ride motorcycles with his dear friend Rex Tillerson anymore. Because Roger Stone, Carter Page, and Paul Manafort who worked on Trump's campaign are currently under investigation for connection to the Podesta hack.

That may have given it away for most people, that this was Russia related.

as well as old hand Manafort-ov.
Kushner also met with the Ruskie ambassador at Trumpov Tower.
At least 4, possibly more.

The investigation has also confirmed

So allegedly, the whole reason that the Russian diplomat was even there, was because of a program by the former president's state department.
These people also went to the DN Convention.
If this pans out to be true, will you people calm the **** down?
