Putin has kompromat on Jason and he's just distancing himself from the administration so when Comey starts handing out indictments this summer we'll all have forgotten who this douche bag was...not likely.
My guess is it's money laundering...I suspect Putin financed a lot of the Rep Pac's with dirty money laundered thru the Cyprus banks and other nefarious players...NYAG Schneiderman is building RICO cases against the Trump family and all the players..no way Sessions can mess with it.

Word around town is both Rootie Tootie and Manafort are hot for some kind of deal and want to talk...Comey wants to land a big orange fish...
