Забытая встреча

[tijd]

Вчерашние безумные интервью Руди Джулиани (в качестве личного адвоката Трампа) принесли информацию о встрече людей Трампа 7 июня 2016, на которой обсуждалась предстоящая встреча с Весельницкой 9 июня 2016.

Two days before that meeting, Giuliani relayed, former Trump attorney and fixer Michael Cohen claimed that there was a separate meeting; this one, involving five people, including Cohen himself. According to Giuliani, three of the five people in that supposed meeting told him “it didn’t take place.” Not only that, they had done so “under oath on it and the other two couldn’t possibly reveal it because [Special Counsel Robert] Mueller never asked us about it.”
“You get to the other meeting he says he was at, that the president wasn’t at…with Donald [Trump] Jr., Jared [Kushner], [Paul] Manafort…[Rick] Gates and one other person. Cohen also now says that-he says too much-that two days before he was participating in a meeting with roughly the same group of people-but not the president, definitely not the president-in which they were talking about the strategy of the meeting with the Russians,” Giuliani continued.

Косвенным свидетельством встречи 7 июня и того, что Трампу было о ней известно, является его заявление в тот же день. Свидетельством того, что Трампу было известно о встрече с Весельницкой, является также дорогой "подарок", полученный им после встречи от Агаларова.

The next day, Aras had “an expensive painting” delivered to Trump. The Democrats’ report cites an email - subject line, “Birthday gift for Mr. Trump” - from Goldstone to Rhona Graff, Trump’s longtime assistant.
A week later, the Democrats’ report states, Trump sent Aras a thank-you note.
“There are few things better than receiving a sensational gift from someone you admire - and that’s what I’ve received from you,” Trump wrote to Aras. “You made my birthday a truly special event by your thoughtfulness - not to mention your remarkable talent. I’m rarely at a loss for words, but right now I can only say how much I appreciate your friendship and to thank you for this fantastic gift. This is one birthday that I will always remember.”
Contacts between the Trumps and the Agalarovs continued after the election as well. While it has been known that the Agalarovs posted supportive messages on social media surrounding Trump’s election and inauguration, it had not before Friday been known that they were directly communicating during that time as well.
In the Democrats’ report, it notes one message sent by Emin to Trump Jr. on Dec. 13, 2016, posing a “quick question” for Trump Jr. According to the footnotes in the report, the text message was found among documents turned over to the committee by Trump Jr. labeled, “Text Messages from Emin Agalarov to Donald Trump Jr., November 10, 2016.”
A source familiar with the messages told BuzzFeed News that the Nov. 10, 2016, date represents “the date of the first of a series” of messages between Trump Jr. and Emin. Based on the description in the Democrats’ report, the text messages - at least those between Nov. 10 and Dec. 13, 2016 - fit on one page.
Emin’s texts were not the only Agalarov communications to Trump associates that took place during the transition.
Goldstone, who had sent the email about Aras Agalarov’s present for Trump to Graff in June, sent another email to Graff on Nov. 28, 2016.
“Aras Agalarov has asked me to pass on this document in the hope it can be passed on to the appropriate team.” The attachment related to the Magnitsky Act.

Если информация о встрече 7 июня 2016 правдива, то Мюллеру о ней должно быть известно от Рика Гейтса, который сотрудничает со следствием. Это также указывает на то, что Кушнер и Дональд-младший совершили серьезное преступление, соврав в своих показаниях Конгрессу.

Кушнер:

"I arrived at the meeting a little late. When I got there, the person who has since been identified as a Russian attorney was talking about the issue of a ban on U.S. adoptions of Russian children. I had no idea why that topic was being raised and quickly determined that my time was not well-spent at this meeting. <...> No part of the meeting I attended included anything about the campaign, there was no follow up to the meeting that I am aware of, I do not recall how many people were there (or their names), and I have no knowledge of any documents being offered or accepted."

Among other things, Don Jr was asked last year in a Senate Judiciary interview: “Did you inform your father about the meeting or the underlying offer prior to the meeting?" Trump Jr responded: "No, I did not."
