Re: Donald Trump jr met the Russians
And apparently, there might be emails that could be quite damning: https://www.washingtonpost.com/...n/5963e8eee9b69b7071abcb06
quote:
Before arranging a meeting with a Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer he believed would offer him compromising information about Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump Jr. was informed in an email that the material was part of a Russian government effort to aid his father’s candidacy, according to three people with knowledge of the email.
Well this should be interesting. It's starting to read like a Robert Ludlum novel.

Not guilty by reason of incompetence.

Not guilty by reason of incompetence. Well that explains why most politicians seldom get convicted. As the comedian Ron White likes to say 'you can't fix stupid'.

Re: Wait...what?????
Well the Russian lawyer insists that she didn't offer anything about Hilary Clinton. The emails are somewhat dodgy - supposedly the information would come from the "Crown Prosecutor" of Russia - a non existent post. But it is clear that the Trump campaign were offered help that supposedly came from the Russian government and were happy to accept.
Donald Trump Jr emails show Russia communication
...Trump Jr wasn't just open to Russian help, he "loved" it.

Re: Donald Trump jr met the Russians
My go-to defence. Unfortunately, while incompetence may result in you not being charged with murder, it cannot prevent you from being convicted of inchoate offenses like attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Going to check on the Fox spin on this today.

Re: Wait...what?????
Hi Paul, Trump Very first Twitters about Hillary emails began the same day after the meeting on 06 Jun 2016. Very odd indeed. https://twitter.com/...donaldtrump/status/741007091947556864

Re: Donald Trump jr met the Russians
Word on the street is Hannity is blaming Obama for letting the Russian lawyer into the country.  Yep it was a Obama set up. Thanks Obama.

Trump claims Russians preferred Hillary for President
Trump's on a roll. More stuff said that simply does not jibe with reality.
quote:
President Trump said Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin would have preferred Hillary Clinton as U.S. president instead of himself. In an interview with Christian Broadcasting Network's Pat Robertson, the president said that Russia would have benefited from a Clinton victory because she would weaken the military and drive up energy prices.

Re: Wait...what?????
Even more interesting:
Four days after the first email from Goldstone to Trump Jr about the incriminating information the Russia government was said to have about Mrs Clinton, candidate Trump promised to give a "major speech" the following week discussing "all of the things that have taken place with the Clintons", including Mrs Clinton's alleged misdeeds while serving as secretary of state. ... That speech, originally announced for the Monday after the Trump camp's New York meeting with Veselnitskaya, never took place.

Re: Wait...what?????
As I said in a post above, it will likely come down to "What did the President know and when did he know it?" If candidate Trump knew that little Trump and Trump's Minions were going to meet with a Russian representative and that Russia would give them dirt on candidate Clinton then it is very possible that the High Crimes and Misdemeanors standards were reached. If we end up with President Pence would his Secret Service code name be PP?
PP is coming. PP is on the move. PP is streaming "I am curious yellow".

Re: Wait...what?????
Never in the annals of our history have so few been so scrutinized. The Fed is going to find the shit stains of the shit stains of the shit upon the thread that leads from the WH to the Kremlin. Let me be clear the FBI has beef. Even if the Cheeto has to pardon everyone in his circle he will be exposed eventually.
