The Donald Junior digs deeper... "Obviously I am the first presidential candidate's adult son to collude with Russians..." Trump Jr.: I went to meeting with Russian lawyer because 'I had to listen' http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-brief...al&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer
A very short list of those that did not know about the meeting between the president's son, son-in-law and campaign manager and the Russian lawyer with dirt on Clinton were Donald Trump and the Kremlin. Think about that for a minute...
I know... trump supporters don't think its a big deal, but... U.S. Republican senator calls for panel to interview Trump Jr. on Russia http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-usa-trump-russia-idUKKBN19V2GF?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews
... and, not surprisingly, Don Junior lawyers up... and thus joins everyone else close to and including Big Don and adds to job growth in the process. Exclusive: Donald Trump Jr. hires N.Y. lawyer for Russia probes http://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...topNews&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Furtafas specializes in white collar crime.
The stench from trump, his family, and his minions continues to grow. DIsgusting, and quite possibly traitorous.
If he and his family/cronies weren't running the ****ing United States of America, the total, comical incompetence, hubris, and constant dick-stepping would be entertaining instead of disgusting.
It's completely bizarre that less than a week after Russia hacked out nuclear facilities that the White House would say "you know what.. it's a good time to remove those sanctions". Whatever Putin has on Trump must be horrible even by Trump standards because between this, putting Putin on a "cyber security committee", and trying to create an easily accessible voter purge, he's acting like a drug dealer who lost 100 pounds of coke, and is trying to sell every joint and ounce of crack he can to save himself from being wacked by his mob boss distributor.
Not to be lost in this story is that the information about Trump Junior's meeting with the Russia lawyer with dirt on the Hillary campaign was actually leaked... and that leak came from within the White House (as opposed to the intelligence community or other staffers). Which suggests that whatever really did happen was a lot worse so they leaked the info they did to avoid the bigger scandal. So which senior white house person leaked... Bannon?
NYT now reporting Donny jr was promised info from Russian government explicitly prior to meeting. This is pretty incredible on many levels - must be really bad for Kushner if he is leaking all this about his brother in law which he seems to be. In other words...seems like things are really heating up.
"Where's the smoking gun??" Well if this email is confirmed to be true, that would be it. An email that clearly states that this meeting you are about to have is part of an effort by the Russians to help get Trump elected. I can't wait to hear the line of BS that will come out tonight and tomorrow to defend this one.
Am I the only one that thinks: 1. NYT has well resourced stories queued up a mile. 2. Rats gunna be ratting on each other like never before now. Not sure there is any person alive that Two Scoops wouldn't throw under the bus.
