works for the emirites and that s what mueller is focusing in on is what nader s roll was in the seychelles meeting which has been reported and may have been a back channel set up between the transition team and the russians as a way of communicating outside of normal channels. barbara. back to the collusion front, there s a lot on obstruction but now we re back to the collusion with russia during the campaign. what does this teal us about a deal or conspiracy involving the trump folks and the russians? i don t know that we know yet but mr. nader seems to be a key person. often times you can tell a lot of things from documents, getting bank report, phone records, other kinds of things that can help you connect people. in the end you need a human witness to explain how the dots are connected and it could be mr. nader is providing that role for robert mueller. why do you think he got
trump and kushner s familiar with these negotiations and said that jared s dad, charles kushner, was, quote, crushed when the qatari former prime minister turned down that request for funds. they thought it was going to be $500 million, and it was nothing. the intercept then reported on a second meeting april 17, once again between jared s dad and the qataris, but this time it was with the serving finance minister of qatar. jared s dad, charles kushner, had again asked for a big qatari investment. and the intercept reported that the qataris said no. he confirmed that that meeting between him and the qatari finance minister, he confirmed for the first time that that meeting did actually take place. butch he has a different explanation for why that meeting happened and what it was all about. he s now telling the washington post that he didn t go to the meeting to ask the qataris for money. he went to that meeting to turn
