Did Trump, Kushner, Sessions Have An Undisclosed Meeting With Russian?
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/did-trump-kushner-sessions-have-undisclosed-meeting-russian-n767096SNIP..............
The FBI and Congress are examining a campaign event last spring during which Donald Trump, Jeff Sessions and Jared Kushner were in a small gathering with Russian ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak and other diplomats at Washington's Mayflower Hotel, multiple U.S. officials told NBC News.
Five current and former U.S. officials said they are aware of classified intelligence suggesting there was some sort of private encounter between Trump and his aides and the Russian envoy, despite a heated denial from Sessions, who has already come under fire for failing to disclose two separate contacts with Kislyak. Kushner also denied through a spokesman that he met privately with Kislyak that day.
The officials acknowledged to NBC News that the evidence does not amount to proof, and they have declined to provide details about it.
"The Department of Justice appointed special counsel to assume responsibility for this matter," Department of Justice spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores said in a statement. "We will allow him to do his job. It is unfortunate that anonymous sources whose credibility will never face public scrutiny are continuously trying to hinder that process by peddling false stories to the mainstream media. The facts haven't changed; the then-Senator did not have any private or side conversations with any Russian officials at the Mayflower Hotel."

This morning I had decided I would stay calm no matter the news....Flores has got to be CRAZY!!!! How can any justice get done when cover-up, after cover-up continues. Rublicans used to chant "Lock her Up" and "Baziiii" through the whole campaign cycle...two items! How many are now going against the Dump and his minions? Kushner deal making with Russians, Flynn lying about the Russians, Manafort, Sessions, McConnell, Ryan, Chaffetz, Nunes, Bannon.....shall I go on?
How much more shit are they going to shovel and throw our way and expect us to eat it....before someone steps up to the plate and says enough, is ENOUGH?
