The Democrats have been trying to frame President Donald J. Trump, knowing his America first policies, since Trump was a candidate, and have exposed themselves as heavily corrupt in the deceitful ways they would lie about Trump, to make it appear he was a part of a Russian plot.
Earlier in the week Trump posted on Social Media that he wanted all documents dealing with Russia to unredacted so the American people could understand what happened in 2016.
A Memo that was originally released heavily redacted shows a meeting between Russian diplomats and President Trump in May 2017 that was routine, not part of a conspiracy, showing how much the opposition to Trump set him up with lies.
National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien Friday honored Trump’s demand for transparency in the Russian collusion case, releasing the formerly heavily redacted document from the Robert Mueller probe showing why Russian diplomats met with Trump in May 2017.
Just the News did a great job with this story.
John Solomon for Just the News wrote,”The memo, which was originally released Wednesday with only three words visible, shows National Security Council official Eric Ciaramella wrote on May 10, 2017 that Trump chose to meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during a visit to Washington based on a request eight days earlier during a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.”
“May 2, 2017: Putin asks POTUS to receive Lavrov when he stops through DC en route to Arctic Ministerial in Fairbanks, Alaska (a longplanned international meeting); POTUS agrees, and preparations begin,” Ciaramella wrote fellow NSC official William R. Kelly, explaining the origins of the Lavrov meeting.

Solomon wrote,the memo was first flagged in a footnote of Mueller’s final investigative report on the Russia collusion probe in spring 2019, in part because the Lavrov meeting became the subject of a news media leak that claimed Trump called James Comey a “nut job” during the gathering and told the Russian foreign minister the FBI director had just been fired.”
WHERE DID THE LEAK COME FROM?
The leak to the New York Times, which occurred nine days after the Lavrov meeting, was a stunning breach of the privacy that a U.S. president normally enjoys for non-public meetings with foreign leaders. The contents of such conversations are automatically classified to protect diplomatic sensitivities.
HOW FAKE NEWS DOES IT:
The leaked conversation was used by the news media to further the narrative that Trump was somehow too close with the Russians and colluding with them to the detriment of American national security. It was also tied in media reports to the ongoing Russia collusion probe.
Mueller, however, concluded that no American, including neither Trump nor anyone around him, had improperly conspired with Moscow, and the Department of Justice declined to recommend any obstruction of justice charges.
Ciaramella’s exchange with Kelly — captured in the now unredacted email — shows the May 2017 meeting between Russian diplomats and Trump was simply a routine diplomatic courtesy afforded Lavrov after Putin had agreed to meet Trump’s then-new Secretary of State Rex Tillerson earlier that spring. Officials even wrote the meeting had nothing to do with the Russia probe.
REMEMBER THAT NAME FROM THE UKRAINE SCANDAL- THAT LED TO IMPEACHMENT
BACK TO THE MEMO:
“Can we please get a quick tick tock on how this visit comes together to make clear that it was planned for some time and has nothing to do with the recent events?” Kelly, a strategic communications official inside the NSC, wrote Ciaramella, a CIA analyst on loan to the NSC. “This is normal in the course of diplomacy and reciprocal for Tillerson visit. Need in next 45 minutes please.”
Ciaramella responded with a timetable detailing Tillerson’s meeting with the Kremlin on April 12, 2017, Trump’s call with Putin on May 2, 2017, and the subsequent planning on May 5, 2017 for Trump to greet Lavrov at the White House five days later.
The memo’s release in a heavily redacted form on Wednesday to the public interest law firm the Southeastern Legal Foundation raised immediate concerns that federal agencies were still not complying with Trump’s order for full transparency in the Russia case.
It also reinforced longstanding complaints by transparency organizations that federal bureaucracies have a tendency to hide from the American public information it is entitled to see.
The Southeastern Legal Foundation had sued under the Freedom of Information Act and spent a year trying to force the disclosure of the email.
“SLF is pleased after 366 days that the National Security Council finally released this email in a transparent form to show the public the truth behind the Russia hoax and the attempt by the deep state to take down the president,” Kimberly Hermann, the foundation’s general counsel, told Just the News.
