https://patribotics.blog/2017/03/28/kushner-and-trump-taped-at-secret-trump-tower-meetings-with-russians/Facts lead to reasonable speculation.
(Excerpt)
First, the facts. I reported that two Russian banks, SVB Bank and Alfa Bank, were the subjects, the named targets, of the FISA warrant looking at Russian money being laundered into the Trump campaign. This was a world exclusive on November 7th.
Permission was granted for the FBI to look at intercepts that involved US persons as they related to this campaign / money laundering.
Boris Epshteyn was named in an earlier version of this case to the court, and the warrant was then denied. But it is not a different case; rather, minimization was applied by the FBI before the warrant was granted.
Those are the facts of the matter on the warrant. It is also factually true that Jeff Sessions met with Kislyak, a spy recruiter, and perjured himself over it. It is further factually true that Jared Kushner snuck Kislyak into Trump Tower. Lastly, it is factually true that Jared Kushner met Gorkov, an FSB spy, at the request of Kislyak,
Second, informed speculation.
I believe that on March 3rd, Michael Ellis, newly placed in the White House, gave Donald Trump some very bad news (illegally). First he told him that Kislayaks phone calls had been intercepted and his meetings taped as is normal. Hence Jeff Sessions conversations with the spy-master were on tape. Worse, Ellis told Trump, members of Donald Trumps own family had been taped talking to that same Russian ambassador. Lastly, he, Donald Trump, was also recorded his phone was recorded in Trump Tower talking to Kislyak.
I believe that the references to Trump Tower are because Jared Kushners meeting with Gorkov and Kislyak was indeed taped because SVB Bank is a direct target of the warrant. Epshteyn led an invest in Moscow trip in 2014, Gorkovs bank and SVB had signed a memo to invest in US startups. The latter bit is mentioned in the Steele Dossier.

The speculation sounds reasonable, but we have to treat it as speculation. However, it does make me think that Kushner and The Don are in RICO up to their nostrils and beyond.

Ain't it cool when the puzzle pieces begin to form the picture.
I want that whol family & everyone down the line who knew & said nothing gone from our government.
We don't want the mob boss just impeached, we want them all in prison & property siezed.
We want them dead broke.
They have hurt many.
There is hope.
