AND for those SWC readers and commenters that failed to notice this....REMEMBER Trump's number of public statements...he has had no Russian connections......
As US MSM investigative journalism is finally getting untracked we see suddenly this meeting that never was revealed by the Trump WH...why is that...BTW...this meeting has long been alluded to on social media reporting....four months ago.
And this is not a "back channel".....??
For those interested SWC readers...that unnamed in this article Russian lawyer "WAS a straight to Putin back channel" side stepping USG IC and DoS channels......Two weeks after Donald J. Trump clinched the Republican presidential nomination last year, his eldest son arranged a meeting at Trump Tower in Manhattan with a Russian lawyer who has connections to the Kremlin, according to confidential government records described to The New York Times.
The previously undisclosed meeting was also attended by Mr. Trump’s campaign chairman at the time, Paul J. Manafort, as well as the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, according to interviews and the documents, which were outlined by people familiar with them.
While President Trump has been dogged by revelations of undisclosed meetings between his associates and Russians, this episode at Trump Tower on June 9, 2016, is the first confirmed private meeting between a Russian national and members of Mr. Trump’s inner circle during the campaign. It is also the first time that his son Donald J. Trump Jr. is known to have been involved in such a meeting.
For those interested in Russian HoIS operations straight out of page 68 of their recruitment manual...."for clandestine off the books meetings".....
NOTICE Trump WH only admits to the meeting after being confronted by the report....
AND for those that do not understand US IC counterintelligence operations.......
This means the following....
"according to confidential government records"
USG IC CI viewed this Russian lawyer to be a member of HoIS and thus was under surveillance by USG CI......
So Trump....Russian hacking of US...Ukraine...Crimea and Syria are not part and parcel of an ongoing Russian political war against the West in general but specifically the US using Russian non linear warfare as the supporting mechanism??
Based on an ongoing SWC posting dispute...no SWC does not think that.
BUT WAIT......Even SWC posted a VOA article on apparent Russian hacking of US nuclear power plants......
BTW...this was actually proven by European Security Services.....they outright named APT 28.
The core problem is that SWC stove pipes threads and does not focus on those threads that are in fact intertwined with a certain shall we say "degree of complexity"....
Great for pushing a potential if it ever occurs "discussion" bad though for not being able to thoroughly understand the actual events as they unfold...
Russian non linear warfare is 24 X 7 X 365 with no breaks and or time outs taken....but apparently this is in the eyes of SWC..."soap box" posting...
SAD.....as I started in 2005 to read SWC because it was then far more open on comments...focused on the comments and loaded with a ton of tips....and a lot of commenters...now it is simply an echo chamber nothing more nothing less....
