A former Soviet spy suspected of current ties to Russian intelligence sat in on the meeting between Donald Trump Jr and a Russian lawyer.  This revelation comes after Junior earlier this week claimed that there were no additional parties at the meeting.  Junior agreed to take the meeting during the presidential campaign last year after being told the lawyer was going to serve up negative information stolen from the emails of his father's election rival Hillary Clinton.  The shady character who junior didn't want to talk about is Rinat Akhmetshin, who was named in US Congressional hearings as potentially connected to Russian efforts to disrupt elections around the world.

And there's a heatwave in the area, so it's going to smell wonderful for the next couple of weeks.  The contents of the truck were supposed to have been exported to South Korea, where for some reason they are considered a delicacy.
