Trump quote from June 18 Time article:

“The thing that I have that nobody’s ever had before,

from the day I came down the escalator,

I have had a phony witch hunt against me … I think it’s cost me.”

No question they spying from at least day 1…..

Was Goldstone part of the setup like Halper/Mifsud/Downer?

Hours after Trump’s shock victory in the 2016 election, he posted a photograph to Instagram in which he wore a T-shirt with a large “RUSSIA” logo. He captioned the picture: “Hedging bets.”

Goldstone’s posts indicate that he was in Moscow 10 days before the 9 June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower, and then returned to spend most of that July in Russia and Azerbaijan. When Trump announced his campaign for the US presidency in June 2015, Goldstone claimed to have already been briefed on Trump’s intentions during a meeting he and Agalarov enjoyed at Trump Tower the previous month, writing: “He talked about his planned run for President of the USA – which became official today!”
