Do I believe there was collusion between the Trump people and the Russian government? At first I wasn't sure.
One of the things I wasn't sure about was all of the secret meetings. There is nothing wrong with someone from the Trump campaign or any government employee meeting with a member of a foreign government. Jeff Sessions is a good example. He was on the Armed Services Committee, and meet with the Russian ambassador at the Republican Convention. On the face of it you would thing this is perfectly normal. However, none of the other members of the Armed Forces Committee had met with anyone from the Russian government in the past two years. Sessions didn't inform the State Department about this meeting, no less the CIA. This would be standard for any Congressman or Senator. What's even worse, Sessions not only tried to conceal this meeting but also lied about it under oath.
If this meeting (wasn't there more than one?) was perfectly normal, why did Jeff Sessions go through such great lengths to conceal it?
Everyone on the campaign and or Trump administration knows secret meetings with the Russians was a hot topic but yet there was no attempt to come forward with other past meetings with the Russians? Why wouldn't Jared have his staff go over ALL of his meetings for the past year and come up with a list of all / any meetings that might have involved anyone who may work for the Russian government? Why did they wait until a newspaper threaten to expose the story, and even then continue to hold back information until that same newspaper planed to publish the emails?
There is a large pattern of cover up here.
Of course we have Flynn and Manafort who worked for foreign governments.
At some point in time the investigation team will go these Trump people and say "We are going to charge you with a large number of crimes" and they will be facing very serious jail time. You don't think they will quickly make a deal?
Do you really think Flynn is going to be willing to spend his last twenty years in prison?
Do you really think Trump is going to hand out pardons to any of these people?
