      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

          Yes, I know, excellent reporting! What do you think is the likelihood that Emin Agalarov played in New York in May 2017 and did not have any communications with the Trump clan?https://twitter.com/ystriya/status/884884689563111426 …

          Trump was in Emin Agalarov’s music video in 2016, and negotiating business with his father. The fact that they communicated is in line with their ongoing relationship — nothing criminal about that.

          The music video was 2013. They claim to have had no business in 2016. So, no.

          Trump team seems pretty intertwined with Russian oligarchs and Moscow. Guess we need to just wait til November
