The Special Counsel’s Office and federal prosecutors in Manhattan are scrutinizing a meeting involving former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, one-time National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, and dozens of foreign officials, according to three sources familiar with the investigations.

The breakfast event, which was first reported by The Daily Sabah, a pro-government Turkish paper, took place at 8:30 a.m. at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 18, 2017—days before President Donald Trump’s inauguration. About 60 people were invited, including diplomats from governments around the world, according to those same sources.

The breakfast has come under scrutiny by federal prosecutors in Manhattan as part of their probe into whether the Trump inaugural committee misspent funds and if donors tried to buy influence in the White House. The existence of that probe was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. The Special Counsel’s Office is also looking at the breakfast as part of its investigation into whether foreigners contributed money to the Trump inaugural fund and PAC by possibly using American intermediaries, as first reported by The New York Times. Robert Mueller’s team has asked Flynn about the event, according to two sources familiar with the Special Counsel’s Office questioning.

No fair jumping to conclusions.....

[pnwmom]

1. We first heard about this meeting at a point that feels long, long ago.

It is gratifying to see so many of these odd events are pushing their way into the news again -- as part of Mueller's investigation.

This was from almost two years ago:

2. "No fair jumping to conclusions....."

Can I jump with unbounded hope?

3. The Breakfast Betrayal (R)

accompanied by the Lunch Betrayal (R), the Dinner Betrayal (R) and the 24-7 Treason Against America Betrayal (R).

republicans have all the betrayal bases covered. No wonder the kremlin hates and attacks America, but loves republican sell outs.

4. He's following the money. Campaign laws. Not Russian twit investigation, unfortunately.

But whatever the Orange One is guilty of....

7. but wow, what other conclusion could you draw?

In their bottom-dweller way, this crew really is awesome in its shamelessness.

8. Easy pickens!

Like shooting fish in a barrel when they all come together to find foreigners willing to buy influence in American politics and the White House.

Damn, this makes me sick though. To think we have so many people who would take a buck so easily and turn their backs on our country.
