    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Investigators probing whether Donald Trump’s presidential campaign colluded with Russia have been questioning witnesses about events at the 2016 Republican National Convention, according to two sources familiar with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s inquiries.

    Mueller’s team has been asking about a convention-related event attended by both Russia’s U.S. ambassador and Jeff Sessions, the first U.S. senator to support Trump and now his attorney general, said one source, who requested anonymity due to the ongoing investigation.

    Another issue Mueller’s team has been asking about is how and why Republican Party platform language hostile to Russia was deleted from a section of the document related to Ukraine, said another source who also requested anonymity.

    Mueller’s interest in what happened at the Republican convention in Cleveland, Ohio in July 2016, is an indication that Trump campaign contacts and actions related to Russia remain central to the special counsel’s investigation.

    Trump, who was nominated as the Republican Party candidate for the November 2016 election during the convention, has denied any collusion with Russia during the campaign. Moscow has denied U.S. intelligence agencies’ findings that it interfered in the campaign to try to tilt the election in Trump’s favor.

    Investigators have asked detailed questions about conversations that Sessions, then a Trump campaign adviser, had at a convention event attended by then-Russian Ambassador to the United States Sergei Kislyak, said the first source, who was questioned by Mueller about the event.

    Why was he surrounded by Democrats and why did he meet Hillary?

    Why did the Clintons make millions from speeches in Russia?

    Why did Clinton funnel millions into Russia to get her little dossier?

    The only people snuggling up to Putin belonged to the Obama administration.

    He sure was tough on Russia when they invaded Ukraine, da?

    He was drawing red lines all over the place in Syria against em.

    Is Russia the enemy of your country? They’re our friends, who in their right mind would sell the fuel for nuclear weapons to an enemy?

    That's false.

    The CLAIM was that Russian officials met with members of Clinton's team. Get your lies straight will ya?

    That claim of course came from the Kremlin at the same time they claimed to have not interfered in our election.

    Any corroboration? I mean I understand you believe Putin over any American but...

    They speak to the incoming president's presumptive National Security Adviser, before he has the right or authority to act on behalf of our government, SINCE WE ALREADY HAD ONE, about UN resolutions and how to react to sanctions imposed by the sitting government. You know, in violation of the law. That sort of stuff.

    Don't be too hard on yourself. No one else has come up with a credible excuse either.

    With all the anonymous sources in the OP, no one has come up with a credible accusation either. Nothing but dog whistles.

    But............wait...........I was going to say you couldn't possibly believe the hacking, the contacts about the hacking, the lies about the contacts, Gates speaking with a Russian intel guy, the indications of money laundering, Donnie J's meeting, Crazy Donald admitting he fired Comey to take pressure off from the Russia investigation..............I was going to ask if you really believe all of it doesn't a least merit an investigation?

    Then I remembered about the brainwashing of The Following.............and Drumpf Denial Syndrome............so never mind.

    Yes, it's highly suspicious that Gates would have contacts with his business contacts.:roflol: It's come to light that Papadopoulos was approached, as opposed to initiated contact with the London professor, and I'm betting Downer was aware and prodded him about the topic. We already know Glenn Simpsons operative Natalia initiated the Trump tower contact. Trump was unaware of Russian efforts, but Obama knew and calculated it.

    Wrong. He had the right and the authority to speak on behalf of the incoming administration.

    All incoming administrations do.

    It's not uncommon for Russian spies to "approach" subjects. Its what happens AFTER that , that is the problem...and it IS a problem for almost everyone on the Trump team.

    Of course they were meeting with Russians. They took millions in speaking fees from Russia.

    You're kidding right.

    Trump has done FAR more to combat Russia than Obama and Clinton ever did.
