https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/amp/top-trump-campaign-aide-clovis-spoke-mueller-team-grand-jury-n816106WASHINGTON Sam Clovis, the former top Trump campaign official who supervised a man now cooperating with the FBI's Russia investigation, was questioned last week by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team and testified before the investigating grand jury, a person with first-hand knowledge of the matter told NBC News.
Clovis, who is President Donald Trump's pick to be the Department of Agriculture's chief scientist, could not be reached for comment. His lawyer, Victoria Toensing, would neither confirm nor deny his interactions with the Mueller team.
"I'm not going to get into that," she said in an interview.
George Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI in July and began cooperating with agents, records show disclosing his interactions with a professor and other Russians whom the FBI suggested in court documents may have been working for Russian intelligence agencies.
(snip)
The court documents unsealed Monday describe emails between Papadopoulos and an unnamed "campaign supervisor." The supervisor responded "Great work" after Papadopoulos discussed his interactions with Russians who wanted to arrange a meeting with Trump and Russian leaders.
Toensing confirmed that Clovis was the campaign supervisor in the emails. Clovis, a former Air Force officer and Pentagon official who unsuccessfully ran for Iowa State Treasurer in 2014, was the Trump campaign's chief policy adviser and national co-chairman.

hmmm Victoria Toesing.

By the time Huckabee lies about something, Mueller is steps ahead of them. You'd think they'd realize this and cut it out instead of continuing to dig deeper.

He's already either lied to Mueller or told the truth. Either way they are fucked.

and its so gratifying to know that Trump will have to guess who's on his side and whose turned.
