1. @ChrisChristie was at a luncheon meeting at the Four Season Hotel. One of the key attendees left and went to another meeting. Here's proof Christie was there.

2. Four Seasons meeting was about Trump campaign's money woes. Numbers looked grim. But Paulie Walnuts left that critical Four Season meeting to go Trump Tower and meet with the Russians to talk about adoptions? Right. Dirt on Hillary? Are you sure? Remember, the email to Don Jr.

3. said it was, ". . . part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump." "Part" of the support? What were the other parts? Why would the head campaign leave an important meeting to meet somebody? Because it fixed the problem they met at the Four Seasons about.

4. What was the other support? Easy. It was money. That was what that day's problem was. What is more important than "money" to a guy running a broke campaign?
At that time I was watching Trump's fund raising numbers.

5. He had a $40 million loan to his campaign in June 2016 and his burn exceeded his receipts The campaign was insolvent and Trump was already out $40 million on Putin's little PR stunt. Then right after the meeting the loan just

6. disappeared and money problems vanished almost overnight.
RNC also magically found a whole bunch of new small donors. It all came less than three weeks after the June 9 Trump Tower meeting and after Trump's June 23 sudden trip to Scotland.

7. And well after the email to Don Jr. that said the meeting was just "part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump." Follow the money." And Oh! yeah. Deep Throat was a red herring. Woodward made it up. It was always the burn bags. 😎@FBIWFO

8. After his rally today, Trump flew to Miami where he'll attend a fund raiser tomorrow night. Trump hates fundraisers. That was the major reason his campaign had money problems in June 2016. I wonder if there are any Russian mobsters in Miami? @FBIMiamiFL
