Session's former Chief of Staff now trump's Deputy COS received email about Russian meeting

Golly gee, I hope this somehow brings Sessions down as well and is connected to some of Sessions' Russian meetings.

This is about Rick Dearborn who was implicated in email contact about meetings with Russians earlier this week.

Before working on the Trump campaign as a policy aide, Dearborn served as chief of staff to former Alabama senator turned U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions. While there is no evidence Dearborn did anything nefarious, CNN’s report also states that investigators hope to establish whether Dearborn helped to arrange the two meetings Sessions had with former Russian ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak; meetings that Sessions did not at first disclose during his Senate confirmation hearing for the Department of Justice’s top job and that led to his recusal from the Trump-Russia investigation.
