Hey Don Jr.! Where are the wiretaps of your meetings with Butina's mentor, Aleksandr Torshin??!

...In the evidentiary package that designated Torshin as a target for U.S. sanctions — also obtained by NPR — the Treasury Department established that Torshin was a Russian government official who could be targeted under existing sanctions authorities.

But the package also highlighted Torshin's alleged links with Russian organized crime.

Citing public sources such as Crime Russia, a news website focusing on Russian corruption, and El País, a Spanish newspaper, the document noted that Torshin was in "frequent contact" with Alexander Romanov, who heads the Taganskaya organized crime group, between August 2012 to May 2013.


"Torshin may have personally given instructions to members of the Taganskaya on money laundering methods using Spanish bank accounts and real estate," the evidentiary package reads....


^^New - long article from NPR’s intrepid Tim Mak:

From May of last year:

Spanish prosecutor Jose Grinda said Don Jr should be "very concerned" about wiretaps of his meetings w Putin crony Alexander Torshin (also NRA's contact in Russia). Grinda turned those wiretaps over to FBI.

Jose Grinda


Mr. Grinda doesn’t care much for mobsters
Tough, relentless prosecutor

I have wondered for a year now, how could Mr. Grinda get any info on some shit that went down in Spain that might concern Torshin and donnie jr?

Well, apparently, Torshin was ALLEGEDLY teaching his fellow mobsters all about laundering money IN SPAIN...I would guess that Torshin was already on Mr. Grinda’s radar when a lil fella named donnie Jr. showed up...

Anyway, whassuppp, lil donnie

someone wants them, they can be resurrected.

Nixon discovered that hitting the "delete" or "erase" button doesn't work either.

I've always thought that the NSA could just rebrand itself as the world's information attic. If you want it, we'll give it to you - for a price.
