Trump - Russia Quid Pro Quo

June 3 2016, Rob Goldstone emailed Donald Trump Jr. about Aras Agalarov meeting with the “Crown Prosecutor Of Russia” (Yuri Chaika), and offering to give the Trump campaign documents that “incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia.” In an email on June 3, 2016, Rob Goldstone wrote to Donald Trump Jr.: “Emin (Agalarov) just called and asked me to contact you with something very interesting. The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with his father Aras this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father. This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump – helped along by Aras and Emin.” [One count of “Conspiracy Against the United States (18 U.S.C. § 371)”] [One count of “Illegal contributions by foreign nationals (52 U.S.C. § 30121)”] [Establishing intent: “Bribery of public officials (18 U.S. Code § 201)”]

June 6 2016, Rob Goldstone arranges a telephone conversation between Donald Trump Jr. and Emin Agalarov. 12:40 PM Goldstone emails Trump Jr. asking when he is “free to talk with Emin by phone about this Hillary info.” 3:03 PM Trump Jr. replies, “Rob could we speak now?” 3:37 PM Goldstone replies, “Let me track him down in Moscow.” 4:04 PM Emin Agalarov calls Trump Jr. Phone records reflect a 2-minute call. 4:27 PM Trump Jr.’s next call is to a blocked number. Phone records reflect a 4-minute call. 4:31 PM Trump Jr. calls Emin. Phone records reflect a 3- minute call. 4:38 PM Trump Jr. emails Goldstone, “Rob thanks for the help.” 8:40 PM Trump Jr. calls a blocked number. Phone records reflect an 11-minute call. Corey Lewandowski has testified that calls to Donald Trump’s residence are via a blocked telephone number.

June 7 2016, Scott Balber, Ike Kaveladze’s attorney, said that before Kaveladze headed from Los Angeles to New York for the meeting, he saw an email noting that Jared Kushner, Paul Manafort, and Don Trump Jr. would all be involved. He thought it would be odd for them to attend the meeting, so he called Roman Beniaminov before heading to New York. Both Beniaminov and Kaveladze have worked with the Agalarov’s real estate development company, the Crocus Group. Beniaminov told Kaveladze that he heard Rob Goldstone, Emin Agalarov’s music manager, discuss “dirt” on Hillary Clinton. Beniaminov was the only person to give Kaveladze any information about the meeting’s purpose. “That was the only data point Ike had, which was inconsistent with everything else he had heard, which was that the meeting was about the Magnitsky Act,” Balber said.  [“Conspiracy Against the United States (18 U.S.C. § 371)”, and “Illegal contributions by foreign nationals (52 U.S.C. § 30121)”]

June 7 2016, As Donald Trump Jr. and Rob Goldstone confirmed the Friday meeting, candidate Donald Trump secured the Republican nomination. In public remarks after the final Republican primaries, Trump previewed his intention to give a speech about the Clintons the following week: “I am going to give a major speech on probably Monday of next week and we’re going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the Clintons. I think you’re going to find it very informative and very, very interesting.” [“Conspiracy Against the United States (18 U.S.C. § 371)”, “Illegal contributions by foreign nationals (52 U.S.C. § 30121)”, and establishing intent: “Bribery of public officials (18 U.S. Code § 201)”]

June 9 2016, Paul Manafort, Donald Trump Jr., and Jared Kushner met with Russian Attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya, who promised compromising information on Hillary Clinton. The meeting, two weeks after Donald J. Trump clinched the Republican nomination, points to the central question in federal investigations of the Kremlin’s meddling in the presidential election: whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians. It is unclear whether Natalia Veselnitskaya, actually produced the promised compromising information about Mrs. Clinton, however the expectation was that she would do so.” The same day, candidate Trump tweeted about Hillary Clinton’s alleged “missing” emails - only the second time he had done so by this point: “How long did it take your staff of 823 people to think that up, and where are your 33,000 emails that you deleted?” [“Conspiracy Against the United States (18 U.S.C. § 371)”, “Illegal contributions by foreign nationals (52 U.S.C. § 30121)”, and establishing intent: “Bribery of public officials (18 U.S. Code § 201)”]

June 9 2016, On the same day as Trump Jr., Manafort, and Kushner met with representatives of the Kremlin, Donald Trump, Dan Scavino, Brad Parscale, Reince Priebus, and Ivanka Trump were also at Trump Tower. Parscale and Scavino seemed to rush from the Quicken Loans arena in Cleveland Ohio, (where the RNC convention would be held), at 2:11PM on June 7 2016. Ivanka Trump actually met the delegation from Russia at the Trump Tower's elevators.

June 12 2016, Julian Assange appears on the ITV television show Peston on Sunday. He tells Robert Peston that emails related to Clinton are "pending publication" and says, "WikiLeaks has a very good year ahead."

June 14 2016, The DNC publicly announces that Russian government hackers penetrated the computer network of the Democratic National Committee. Rob Goldstone sent a news article to Emin Agalarov and Ike Kaveladze, “Top story right now, seems eerily weird based on our Trump meeting last week with the Russian lawyers etc”. Hours after the Post publicly attributed the hack to Russia-linked groups, the persona Guccifer 2.0 started a WordPress blog disputing CrowdStrike’s attribution and claiming exclusive credit for the theft. It was an apparent effort on the part of the Russian Federation to cast public doubt about its involvement. Recent reporting indicates that Guccifer 2.0 is not merely a Russian cutout, but appears in fact to be controlled by Russia’s military intelligence directorate, the GRU. This stolen data would then be systematically released through Guccifer 2.0 and the Russian cutouts DC Leaks and WikiLeaks, throughout the summer of 2016.

June 14 2016, Ike Kaveladze is in Moscow, Russia makes five calls to New York City, New York, possibly to a member of the Trump Organization about the release of stolen emails by the GRU.

June 15 2016, Republican House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy was recorded on tape saying: "The Russians hacked the DNC and got the opp research that they had on Trump." and "There's two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump."

June 19 2016, George Papadopoulos emailed the "High-Ranking" campaign official with the subject line ·'New message from Russia": 'The Russian ministry of foreign affairs messaged and said that if Mr. Trump is unable to make it to Russia, if a campaign rep (me or someone else) can make it for meetings? I am willing to make the trip off the record if it's in the interest of Mr. [T]rump and the campaign to meet specific people".
