Yep, that first one was a foreign policy nobody mysteriously elevated to campaign advisor talking vaguely about setting up meetings with the Russian government, which Manafort shot down. That guy had ties to Cyprus (Russian money laundering nexus) and the United Arab Emirates (brokered the Seychelles meeting between Erik Prince and Putin's confidant)
This thread is about a much more senior Trump aide trying to get Trump facetime with Putin.
There is so much smoke, it's all blurring together.
