The leaks keep coming. Someone, or many someones, want to keep the Russia story front and centre, and shake up Trump & Gang into making slip-ups. It’s already been shown to work.

The FBI and Congress are examining a campaign event last spring during which Donald Trump, Jeff Sessions and Jared Kushner were in a small gathering with Russian ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak and other diplomats at Washington's Mayflower Hotel, multiple U.S. officials told NBC News.
But I’m sure it was all just social… asking about each other’s families, nibbling canapes, sharing fine cups of covfefe...
Five current and former U.S. officials said they are aware of classified intelligence suggesting there was some sort of private encounter between Trump and his aides and the Russian envoy, despite a heated denial from Sessions, who has already come under fire for failing to disclose two separate contacts with Kislyak. Kushner also denied through a spokesman that he met privately with Kislyak that day.
All this heated denial? About something innocent?
Lawmakers involved in the Russia investigation would not discuss the April meeting.
"I can't comment on any of that," Sen. Mark Warner, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence committee, told NBC News.
"Can't talk about it," said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, a member of the committee.
Because it’s classified… part of the huge case that the FBI and Mueller are building, I would say. As well as Flynn and Manafort there’s Sessions, Stone and Kushner… it jumped across the ocean with Nigel Farage… let’s not forget those Republican fundraising orgs that were raided by the FBI… and now Trump himself.
The drips become an ocean.
