[goldfly]

the lawyer that Don Jr met with?

Yeah she was on the defense in a high-profile Russian money laundering scheme case being tried by Preet Bharara. The same case that led to Magnitsky's being killed in Russia, that led to the Magnitsky Act sanctions, which in turn Russia retaliated against by shutting down the adoption process. The case involved laundering of Russian public funds in high-price NY real estate. The case that the US Gov settled for relative pennies after Trump fired Bharara and Magnitsky's family's lawyer "fell" out a window in Moscow.

Beijing Says U.S. Apologized for Confusing China With Taiwan

HONG KONG — A Chinese official said on Monday that the United States had apologized for a White House statement that misidentified China’s leader, Xi Jinping, as president of the Republic of China — the formal name for Taiwan.

“According to my understanding, the Chinese side has already raised this with the United States side,” said Geng Shuang, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry. “The United States side apologized and said this was a technological error that has already been corrected.”

The erroneous reference was in the heading of a White House transcript, released on Saturday, of presidential remarks before a bilateral meeting between Mr. Trump and Mr. Xi at the Group of 20 session in Hamburg, Germany. Mr. Xi is the president of the People’s Republic of China.

The gaffe was one of a handful of misnomers issued by the White House during the summit meeting. Mr. Trump’s Instagram account briefly identified Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong of Singapore as President Joko Widodo of Indonesia, Singapore news outlets reported. And another White House statement called the prime minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, “President Abe of Japan.”

The Republic of China flub was awkward for Beijing, which considers Taiwan part of its territory.

A Chinese-language transcript from Mr. Geng’s Monday news briefing on the Foreign Ministry website rendered “Republic of China” in English, highlighting the discomfort with the name in Beijing.

In December, Donald Trump, as president-elect, accepted a telephone call from President Tsai Ing-wen of Taiwan, which broke with decades of United States precedent and was considered a snub for Beijing. The United States severed formal ties with Taiwan in 1979 as part of the so-called One China policy under which it recognizes Beijing as the government of China.

Mr. Trump later suggested that he might not be bound by the One China policy, but he reaffirmed it during a call with Mr. Xi in February.

Define Russian source and how this person is tied to the Russian governemnt.

I guess you are expecting a video of Putin giving Veselnitskaya her marching orders. And probably if one surfaced, you would find another place to bury your head in the sand.

The Trump administration exists because a foreign government wanted it there. If that doesn't enrage you, you're not a patriot.

As long as there are tax cuts on the table, there's reason to believe that this won't make much of an impression on them.

WASHINGTON — President Trump’s advisers recruited two businessmen who profited from military contracting to devise alternatives to the Pentagon’s plan to send thousands of additional troops to Afghanistan, reflecting the Trump administration’s struggle to define its strategy for dealing with a war now 16 years old.

All American, regardless of politics, should be aghast that Erik Prince has a seat at any table. C'mon, people. This crew is not competent, not smart, and not even well-intentioned.

I'd rather an actual connection as opposed to the rampant speclation brought on by an ideological group that is struggling to understand why they aren't in power anymore. So again, please tell me why it's so clear the this is Russian collusion.

This apparently is the worst thing ever committed while there are examples of Russian collusion on the 'other side' that is far more cinclusive but we are supposed to ignore all of that. This is the most pathetic reaction to an undesired outcome I've ever seen. This attempt at death by 1000 pricks will not work and in the end will make the dems worse off
