2. I think it's Russia, Italy, and Singapore -- plus Trump.

http://www.news.com.au/finance/economy/world-economy/what-really-happened-at-the-mayflower-hotel/news-story/a885f3be938bb384e3a24563d13d0758

On 27th April last year — the night that he made his first major foreign policy speech at the Mayflower Hotel — Donald Trump held a secret cocktail party at that very same hotel where he met with the ambassadors of Russia, Italy and Singapore.
Why are Russia, Italy and Singapore significant?

Well, remember the dossier of dirt on Trump that Buzzfeed released at the end of last year? It was written in the months after that April 27th meeting, and it alleged there was a deal that Trump would drop the sanctions against Russia and let them sell 19 percent of oil company Rosneft, and that Trump would benefit from this transaction.

The thing is that in early December, shortly after Trump had won the election, 19.5 percent of Rosneft was sold to unknown buyers, in a complicated three-nation deal. Who were the countries party to the deal? Russia, Italy and Singapore.

While the details of the deal are secret, the dossier implied that if Trump was elected, and let the deal slide through, he would receive a “brokerage fee” for helping make it happen. If that fee was the extra 0.5 percent on the transaction, that means that Trump may have pocketed $200-$250 million out of the transaction.

Thus, the allegation at the centre of the Mayflower Hotel Scandal is that on that night a deal was struck: The Russians would assist Trump in getting elected, and in return, Trump would drop sanctions against Russia, allowing the Rosneft deal to go through, and to sweeten the deal, Trump would receive 0.5 percent “brokerage fee”.

5. Who are the 7 people that received the emails?

That would be good to know.

6. Thanks - glancing through the WP story, it seemed to be about 1 low level staffer

who kept trying to schedule meetings with Russians, but whom the rest of the campaign ignored - which didn't seem much of a story. This looks far more important.

8. the republican TreasonWeasel betrayal of America for $$$ & power

is filthy disgusting. And the submissive betrayal of America by the republican Congress as it licks the boots of their ignoble & racist republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, is about as low as a traitorous scumbag can go.
