1. A few people brought up the Air Force 1 Meeting in replies to one of my tweets yesterday. The AF1 Meeting occurred on July 8, 2017 as Trump staffers debated what–if anything-to do about a NYT article breaking the news of the June 9, 2016 Trump Twr meeting arranged by FusionGPS
2. Here’s my favorite little-known story about the AF1 Meeting:
While on AF1, Hope Hicks learns of a story Trump personal attorney Marc Kasowitz is marketing to Circa News. Kasowitz says the story will “blow the Russia investigation wide open”.

3. On July 9, 2017, John Solomon and Sara Carter publish this article. The main thrust is that Russian lawyer Natalie Veselnitskaya is connected to Fusion GPS and was in the U.S. on mysterious circumstances when she attended the Trump Tower meeting.

4. Little noticed in the article was a quote from Kasowitz colleague Mark Corallo that linked the Trump Tower meeting and FusionGPS to the Democrats. No one talked about this in Summer 2017
5. Hicks said she was upset with the Circa News article. Trump hadn’t approved it.
I liked the article. I wish I had paid attention to it at the time. Corallo basically tells us the whole scandal was a Democrat set-up in July 2017.

6. Within two weeks, both Kasowitz and Corallo where thumped from the Trump defense team. Evidently, the duo told us the truth too early. cbsnews.com/news/corallo-k…
7. It wasn’t until three months later on October 24, 2017 that it was okay to mention that the Clinton campaign paid FusionGPS for the dossier. Even then, it looks like the Democrats were cornered into admitting it, giving the story to the Wash Post. web.archive.org/web/2020061110…
