      SCOOP: Donald Trump Jr. And Emin Agalarov Stayed In Touch Throughout The Transitionhttps://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/trump-jr-and-emin-agalarov-stayed-in-touch-during-the?utm_term=.iyvZMxB0J …

      From phone calls and text messages to “an expensive painting” that Aras Agalarov gave Donald Trump for his birthday in 2016, the two families were in regular communication before and after the Trump Tower meeting — and during the transition. https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/trump-jr-and-emin-agalarov-stayed-in-touch-during-the?utm_term=.hxJ1nj92k#.uwyZ1YAag …pic.twitter.com/4BjFT99ZPA

          Two calls were placed between Trump Jr. and Emin's phones on June 6, 2016 — with a blocked call received by Jr. in between those two calls. https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/trump-jr-and-emin-agalarov-stayed-in-touch-during-the?utm_term=.waxwAdREp#.pco7YOr0z … / Three days later, the Trump Tower meeting took place.pic.twitter.com/yYdh4CkYu2

          From the Dems' report: The day after the Trump Tower meeting, Aras Agalarov gave Donald Trump "an expensive painting." Trump sent him an over-the-top thank-you note. (Note: "Email from Meredith McIver"!) https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/trump-jr-and-emin-agalarov-stayed-in-touch-during-the?utm_term=.neN7Q5dM2#.mjjWg0l6P …pic.twitter.com/CMin5XsGQU

          Now, here's the big thing. The Dems' report showed that weird Dec. 13, 2016, text—but the endnote references Nov. 10, 2016. Source tells me this is "a series" of text messages between Don Jr. and Emin that begin 11/10/16—and go through at least 12/13/16. https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/trump-jr-and-emin-agalarov-stayed-in-touch-during-the?utm_term=.neN7Q5dM2#.mjjWg0l6P …pic.twitter.com/NbiKZHli0u

          Also during the transition, Rhona Graff—Trump's longtime exec asst—fwd'ed an email to Bannon that she'd received from Rob Goldstone on behalf of Aras Agalarov. Her message to Bannon: "The PE [President Elect] knows Aras well. Rob is his rep in the US ...." https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/trump-jr-and-emin-agalarov-stayed-in-touch-during-the?utm_term=.hfA0DQAOX#.fc4aMBzZY …pic.twitter.com/Pafd1dFW6I

          @chrisgeidner Wait, “expensive painting” is just a code word for something else right? Trump’s reply makes no mention of a a painting. The “gift” was whatever was promised in the meeting.

          Apart from the conspiracy, don't you think it's notable that Agalarov gave Trump a nicer birthday gift than Trump gave Melania?

          "remarkable talent"? Assuming the painting was the work of a third party, what was the talent being praised?
