    Music promoter dangled possible Putin meeting for Trump during campaign

    About a month after Donald Trump launched his presidential bid, a British music promoter suggested his Russian pop-star client could arrange for the new candidate to meet with Russian President Vladi*mir Putin, according to an email obtained by The Washington Post.


    The July 2015 offer by publicist Rob Goldstone came about a year before he set up a meeting for Trump’s eldest son with a Russian lawyer who he said had incriminating information about Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.


    Goldstone’s overture came as he unsuccessfully urged Trump to travel to Moscow later that year to attend a birthday celebration for his client’s father.

    “Maybe he would welcome a meeting with President Putin,” Goldstone wrote in a July 24, 2015, email to Trump’s longtime personal assistant, Rhona Graff.


    There is no indication Trump or his assistant followed up on Goldstone’s offer.

    The invitation is the latest example to emerge of efforts to broker a meeting between the Kremlin and Trump Tower during the campaign.


    The timing of Goldstone’s offer served as a reminder of the high-level contacts that Trump had in Russia as he ramped up his White House run.

    Easy, any connection Trump has with Russia goes to 'malum in se' ... a consistent malice aforethought whether it be specific or general and/or deliberate ...

    Never any positive speculation from the Post. Does anyone think it’s 50/50 they have to print a retraction?
    I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.

    But there's no connection, the WaPo article said so.

    Its meant to be 'poignant' or toxic ... a steady drip drip drip so that Americans start (have no choice) believing it ...


    Kind of like what Trump did when he frothed lies and garbage at Obama to Hillary to the GOP presidential candidates ... over and over and over and for years ... eventually getting Trump elected.

    There's no drip, there's no connection, there's no story.
