Summary:
Special Council Director for the Russian Investigation, Robert Muller, is said to have found evidence of a secret meeting in the Seychelles days before Trump's inauguration between Erik Prince and Kirill Dmitriev, a Russian businessman, allegedly to set up a backdoor connection between Russia and the Trump Administration. Prince denies any malicious intent, saying he was there to see Zayed from the Emirati delegation, and the Russian just happened to be there. He cited his hopes to join with the Russians to "defeat Islamic fascism.” However, Muller is not entirely convinced. This, after reports of calls and meetings between Sergey Kislyak, Jared Kushner and Michael Flynn is starting to seem quite sketchy. In that meeting, Kushner talking about setting up direct communications between Russians and Trump through the embassy, while Kislyak preferred using an unidentified Russian contact in a third country. Muller is also said to be looking into whether or not foreign money was used to fund Trumps campaign.
Analysis:
All of the secrecy surrounding Russian meetings, though said by the cabinet to be virtuous, could have been set up though official channels rather than secret backdoor conversations, suggesting there is something else going on in those conversations. That, along with Flynn's resignation from the Trump administration imply wrongdoing. Given Flynn plead guilt to lying, he and Kushner are for sure in deeper water than they are letting on. Yet another meeting in June of 2016 between trumps son and a Russian Lawyer were said to be “primarily discussing a program about the adoption of Russian children.” I'm not buying it. All the meetings between Trump officials and Russian Businessmen, validated by shady excuses, seem to have a nefarious undertone.
Questions:
Do you believe the Trump administration in believing these meetings are righteous?
Do you believe Muller in saying there may be something more going on here?

I don't believe these meetings are righteous. There is obviously some shady stuff going on. I fee like this is the unraveling of the presidency. There is more that Mueller could be hinting at.
