the saturday after at the end of the story that they reported on the g20 that day, buzzfeed news mentioned in their article about the g20 that they had heard from a single source that there might have been an additional long chat between donald trump and vladimir putin that hadn't been disclosed by the white house but now today it has broken wide open. ian bremmer will describe his sources. but he's reporting that, in fact, in addition to that formal meeting that went on for two hours, even though it was only scheduled for half an hour, trump and putin then thereafter had a second long meeting later that night. that took place over the course of about an hour. and in what's being described as a fairly significant breach of national security norms and protocols, it was apparently only vladimir putin's translator who was present for and participating in that meeting. in the discussions between trump and putin, there was just the russian translator. there was no american translator, nor were there any other american staff member who is were taking part in those discussions. that is a very unu

alleged russian dirt on donald trump, that dossier that caused such a stir when it was published by buzzfeedn january, it has a lot of lurid stuff in it but honestly it has a lot of stuff in it that has been borne out by subsequent sirius investigation. this thing that's going to happen on wednesday, this is the thing i have been saying is coming. this is the thing i have been saying is coming from congressional republicans and from republicans who want to defend donald trump. senator grassley set the subpoena tonight. he's canceled the testimony from don jr. and paul manafort and instead of hearing from them next week on the collusion issue, the nate instead will play host at an open televised hearing to the big republican pushback theory they have been gearing up for on conservative media for a couple of weeks now. this is the big pushback in which they will claim that there is a russian scandal but it's not a trump-russia scandal. it's the democrats. and the dossier on trump, that's the real russia scandal. that's from russia and the scandal is about hillary clinton and the democrats. it'

raw intelligence reports about donald trump that caused such a stir when it was first published by buzzfeed this past january. republicans and the conservative media have started to raise questions about whether there was something untoward or scandalous about how that russian woman who came to trump tower and took that meeting got permission to enter the united states last summer, to take part in that legal case about the money laundering. on that same visit where she also took that meeting in trump tower. and i know that it just sounds like that was a list of dots without connections between them. that's how i mean to put it out there. there is no meaningful counter narrative against what has just opinion confessed by the trump campaign. but, if you look at those data points, if you look at those other issues in the news, it appears that something is going on among republican members of congress and in the trump white house, and in the conservative media, that they are about to try to land as a counterpunch. as they try to morph the russia scandal involving the trump campaign into somethi
