then candidate donald trump himself. and while others shot it down, he continued, so what did donald trump say to him after that proposal? that s the big question. what did donald trump say there and was he ever informed about the trump tower meeting. like the real questions, the outstanding ones which mueller will have access to because he ll talk to people involved, did the president ever know about this and what did he do? did he say yeah, let s go, let s do it. there s still skepticism surrounding where he was during that trump tower meeting. people really don t know, they haven t pinned that down, and during that march 31st meeting, the foreign policy rendezvous, he apparently was intrigued by papadopoulos offer to set up this meeting. so he really didn t shoot it down. it seemed like his interest had been piqued and from there that will be mueller s probe. the last thing i ll say here is this was a very flat campaign organization. there was not a lot of layers between a gu
