1. Maria Butina, the alleged Russian spy, has a plea deal and a cooperation agreement

If I were the NRA or Donald Trump Jr. I'd be VERY worried.

Let's review.

2. The NRA spent $30 MILLION in support of Trump.

Did any of the money come from Russian sources?

The NRA first said they had 1 Russian donor. Then admitted it was 25 with a "Russian address" but for a total of only 2K and it wasn't spent on elections

3. But the NRA did not address potential Russian money that did not come from a Russian address. Russians are very adept at using shell companies.

Alexander Torshin, who was directing Butina, has connections to organized crime and money laundering

1. BREAKING: per MIchael Isikoff, the FBI has obtained from Spain (allied intel), wiretaps of Alexander Torshin (yeah the dude who met with Trump Jr at NRA convention in 2016). Don Jr. is in VERY VERY VERY big trouble!!
2. "The FBI has obtained secret wiretaps collected by Spanish police of conversations involving Alexander Torshin,that led to a meeting with Donald Trump Jr. during the gun lobby’s annual convention in Louisville, Ky., in May 2016, a top Spanish prosecutor said Friday."
3. This is straight from the Spanish prosecutor, José Grinda, so there is no if or but about it. It's direct information. The Spanish prosecutor adds "Mr. Trump's son should be concerned." Grinda says the tapes of conversations were given to FBI "A FEW MONTHS AGO". BLOOP!
