kavalatze, maybe? maybe that s how you say it? he reportedly was there as a representative of the putin-linked oligarch who trump had meetings with in russia who publicist set up the meeting and we re told the oligarch s publicist was there as well. you take all of that together and that means, a, the clown car is getting very crowded. b, there s an interesting question as to why the our understanding of this meeting, why all of these names are rolling out so slowly over time. it was four people in the meeting and then five people in the meeting and then six people in the meeting and then seven people in the meeting, including the guy with the military intelligence background. now it s eight people in the meeting. including the money laundering guy. if this is in fact the last name
military intelligence background, rinat akhmetshin, who has the russian intelligence background. senator grassley alleges in his letter today that akhmetshin may have misrepresented his own past with the russian intelligence on his various applications to enter the united states. again, he s now a dual u.s./russian citizen. if his citizenship is going to be put at risk because of improper disclosures, you might expect that that would be another major point of reverele that investigators could have on him if they are going to try to get him to talk in that meeting. that s separate and apart from the money laundering guy. i wonder if investigators will have any leverage over him. watch this space. it naturally begins to change, causing a lack of sharpness, or even trouble with recall.
