Donnie's currently playing his greatest hits in Poland (election hack might not have been russia, CNN is fake news, he made NBC a fortune, polish-americans really turned out for him in 2016, etc), but that's the usual nonsense as expected. A big name just came up in the Financial Times: Felix Sater https://www.ft.com/content/159eb2d8-6162-11e7-8814-0ac7eb84e5f1 Sater is basically the hyper-shady dude that opened up hyper-shady Russian money to Trump when the organization was having serious financial problems. If Sater is talking, Mueller is getting one hell of a view into money laundering. More here. Sater's been an FBI informant before. http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-sater-trump-20170223-story.html Edit: loving finally, he's quit playing games with NATO Article V.

A lot of this is still a consequence of the total clusterfuck that was the Trump Transition and his demand of drat near absolute loyalty for any new hires.

Sort of like when a notable sentence is pulled from a long rant as a preview to the answer in the article. I mean, it's still a high school paper and a high school website. Sort of jarring to remember that, considering the quality of the interview is so high.

Kushner. https://twitter.com/Hadas_Gold/status/884593145257873408 Drudge is mind-melded with Kushner, so Drudge is basically Kushner. My guess: Kushner originally omitted/lied about this meeting on his SF-86, then corrected it. Somehow the news gets out that the meeting exists and the main principal was Donnie Junior, even though Kushner and Manafort attended too. Donnie Junior is pretty much the dumbest and most hard-charging of those three. Then with the news, someone in the Trump Org tips off Kushner "hey, Donnie Junior had an email about it." Kushner jumps and leaks the extra information to get his version of the story out before Donnie Junior inevitably blames Kushner for it.
