Wouldn't surprise me if they were true. He's really dirty. One of his email addresses is booty########@aol.com!

Wonder where Schiller is hiding out? He was Donnie's delivery boy for many decades, and is rumoured to be on tape trying to steal data off Comey's computer. he can't refuse to testify, only plead the fifth.

mueller is a busy guy. Maybe investigating Peter Smith's death ( the GOP op who sought hacked emails and talked to the wsj). However, help is at hand: 16 prosecutors and 100s of agents are helping him.

Cybersecurity concerns have led U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to proclaim “no computer is safe” and call for important messages to be delivered by courier rather than email.

Trump’s remarks, made to reporters at a New Year’s Eve party at the Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, come amid claims from U.S. intelligence agencies that Russian hackers intervened in the 2016 presidential election to help the Republican candidate win the White House. On December 29, President Barack Obama ordered 35 Russian diplomats to leave the country and imposed sanctions on Russian intelligence agencies.

“If you have something really important, write it out and have it delivered by courier, the old-fashioned way,” Trump said. “I’ll tell you what: No computer is safe. I don’t care what they say.

Returning to Washington after a recess full of new Russia revelations, senators from both parties told CNN on Tuesday that as the Hill investigations ramp up this fall, they want to learn more about the Trump Organization's efforts to do business in Russia during the presidential campaign.

The newly detailed effort to license Donald Trump's name to a proposed tower in Moscow began in fall 2015 and resulted in Trump signing a non-binding agreement to start formal negotiations, according to a statement Trump's corporate attorney Michael Cohen gave to congressional investigators last week. For the deal, Cohen worked with Felix Sater, a mob-linked felon and former Trump business partner.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina Republican who isn't shy about criticizing Trump, told CNN on Tuesday he "would assume" that Cohen will be asked to testify before Congress about the matter.

 

Intensifying Russia probes could pit Hill against Mueller

"It seems to be inconsistent with the idea that the Trump Organization was having no business dealings with Russia," Graham said. "That seems to be inconsistent with that statement."

Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the Democratic vice chair of the Senate intelligence committee, said his panel's investigation into Russian meddling will likely drag into next year as it sifts through new leads.

"It raises a whole host of questions that people associated with then candidate Trump were trying to do business with senior folks in Russia," Warner told CNN on Tuesday. "Lots of individuals' blanket denials of involvement and engagement with Russia months ago have all proven to be not true."

Experts with experience in intelligence operations and Russian tactics tell CNN that the Russian dealings risked drawing Trump and his associates closer to a hostile government already working covertly to sway the US election, and gave the Kremlin an opening to find leverage over his team.

 

Cohen lawyer rebuts Russia dossier allegations

It wasn't publicly known at the time, but the Russian government's "active measures" campaign was already at full speed, and Russia soon started looking for pathways into the Trump orbit. By seeking a deal in Russia, Trump's associates may have unwittingly wandered right into the lion's den. 

In an attempt to move the project along, Cohen even sought help in mid-January 2016 from the Kremlin's top spokesman, Dmitry Peskov. He emailed Peskov through a general address for press inquiries. Cohen said he never got a response from Peskov, which Peskov confirmed to reporters in Moscow last week. Soon after he sent that email, Cohen says he decided to terminate the deal. 

"Peskov is one of Putin's senior lieutenants," said Steve Hall, a CNN contributor and former top CIA official who served for 30 years. "He has access to Putin and is as influential as anybody."  

While Cohen tried to advance the deal, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his senior staff were managing the campaign to interfere in the US election, according to the US intelligence community. 

 

Peskov: Trump lawyer wrote to Kremlin, got no response

Russian-backed hackers had already breached the Democratic National Committee's servers in summer 2015, months before Cohen reached out to Peskov. And the US intelligence community assessment cited credible reports that some of Russia's "professional trolls" on social media started advocating for Trump as early as December 2015, while the Trump Tower deal was in the works.

The US intelligence community report also says Peskov helped create RT, the Kremlin-controlled TV network that pushes propaganda to American audiences and advocated for Trump as part of Russia's meddling campaign. RT "consistently" denigrated Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and intensely focused on the WikiLeaks releases, all while praising Trump, the US intelligence assessment said.

Experts in espionage say the Trump-approved effort to seek business in Russia during the campaign might have given the Kremlin an opening to collect intelligence and maybe even find some leverage during the campaign, a matter that will likely be of interest to special counsel investigators.

Every interaction with Trump's associates, even above-board efforts to pursue business deals, could give Russian operatives an opportunity to "find out who Trump is, how he operates, and how he thinks," according to Jack Barsky, a former KGB spy who worked undercover in the US for a decade.
