Russian lawyer who met with Trump Jr. discussed memo with Kremlin.

Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer who met with President Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. in the heat of the 2016 presidential election, spoke with a top Russian official beforehand, according a report.

The New York Times reported Friday that Veselnitskaya discussed the contents of a memo she believed damaging to the Democratic Party and Trump's opponent Hillary Clinton with Russia's prosecutor general, Yuri Chaika.

The report is based off interviews and records, The Times reported.

The meeting — which was also attended by six other people, including former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner — is one of the subjects of the ongoing Russia investigations by Congress and special prosecutor Robert Mueller.

Trump Jr. disclosed emails earlier this year that show he took the Trump Tower meeting believing Veselnitskaya would provide him potentially damaging information about Clinton – and that he was told the material would come from the Russian government.

Veselnitskaya has previously denied having any information about Clinton and said she did not know why Trump Jr. believed he was going to receive damaging information at the meeting.

According to the The Times report, Veselnitskaya says the memo came from her own research and did not take any direction from the Kremlin.

Yet the memo she brought with her meeting at Trump Tower in June 2016, according to The Times, was reportedly very similar to one that Chaika's office had given to California Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher.

You members of Cult45 must be terrified of the Mueller investigation.
The desperation to change the subject is palpable.

Sebastian Gorka suggests Hillary Clinton should be tried for treason, executed over Uranium One deal.

Hillary Clinton deserves being tried for treason and potentially executed, according to Sebastian Gorka, President Trump’s former deputy assistant.

Mr. Gorka made the comment during an interview Thursday evening with Fox News anchor Sean Hannity as the two discussed Mrs. Clinton’s role authorizing the sale of Canadian mining firm Uranium One to Russian state-owned nuclear company Rosatom while serving as the Obama administration’s secretary of state.

“The Russians infiltrated our national security to corner the uranium market and they succeeded, and they knew all the crimes that were committed,” Mr. Hannity said during the broadcast.

“If this had happened in the 1950s, there would be people up on treason charges right now.

The Rosenbergs, OK? This is equivalent to what the Rosenbergs did and those people got the chair.

Think about it. Giving away nuclear capability to our enemies, that’s what we’re talking about,” Mr. Gorka responded.

Married couple Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted of espionage in 1951 for giving nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union and were executed by electric chair two years later.

Mr. Gorka, 47, served as deputy assistant to the president from January until August.

Mr. Gorka has insisted he resigned from that role, but the the Trump administration has categorized his departure otherwise.

“Sebastian Gorka did not resign, but I can confirm he is no longer with the White House,” an administration official said at the time of his exit.

Billionaire GOP donor: Trump is 'a threat to democracy.'

Billionaire hedge fund manager Seth Klarman reportedly ripped President Trump at an investment conference last week, calling Trump “a threat to democracy.”

Klarman, the CEO of Baupost Group and a frequent donor to Republican political campaigns, made the remarks at the Robin Hood Investment Conference last week, according to New York Magazine.

The magazine obtained an audio recording of Klarman’s comments blasting Trump.

“The president is a threat to democracy. He has attacked journalists and he’s threatening to take away NBC’s license,” Klarman said, according to the magazine.

“He’s attacking judges. He’s violating all sorts of democratic norms, from the emoluments clause to questioning the election and threatening to lock up his opponent.”

“The country is getting divided, whether it’s immigrants, whether it’s transgender people, whether it’s blacks, whether it’s Mexicans,” he continued. “It’s awful.”

Klarman has previously been a critic of Trump.

In August 2016, Klarman said Trump was “completely unqualified” to be president and pledged to help then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton
get elected.

"His words and actions over the last several days are so shockingly unacceptable in our diverse and democratic society that it is simply unthinkable that Donald Trump could become our president," Klarman said at the time.

Klarman is registered as an independent but has largely given to Republicans in the past, according to Reuters.

He has donated to political action committees this election cycle that backed the GOP candidates Jeb Bush, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

Calling for someone to be executed is a little more than just 'mean words.'
