In other words your original post is nothing but garbage.

You think 5, that's five, one now a registered foreign agent, one a known gun for hire for some of the worst political regimes in the world, have all lied MULTIPLE TIMES to cover their contacts with Russians is a nothing burger? You think an email offering dirt, from what amounts to essentially a KGB operative trying to sway American policy on sanctions (that's Natalia's main focus!) is a nothing burger?

My god man. I'm sorry. You care nothing for American values at all.

LOL. Means nothing. Trump is the President, not his son. So what if he met with a Russian to dig up dirt.

Pretty much since we formed the country as a representative Democracy, provided the dirt comes from a foreign nation. It's kind of the point of a government for the people.

But ya know ... details.

Trump Jr. may very well have broken the law:

No, I don't think Jr needs a lawyer, just like Hillary may not need a lawyer for taking millions from the Saudis.

I just wanna know exactly what Jr did wrong (by meeting with and getting basically no info from this Russian lawyer). He got hustled. Being a sucker isn't criminal, or most of America would be locked up. Looking for dirt on a political opponent isn't illegal either, or every politician would need to be locked up as well!

So? Waiting...

The American people are highly concerned.

Only the 18 - 22% who are brainwashed by CNN. As seen during the Bush years, each side has its core partisan hacks who will never see reality over team affiliation.

Congrats on being part of that 18%.

Do we know for sure he didn't get any info? His story has changed 3 times so far. Who's to say that tomorrow we won't find out he DID get info?

68   Tenpoundbass   2017 Jul 11, 6:03am  

This is a big nothing now.
If this idiot is a Hoaxer, then who's to say the Trump's didn't play along to get reverse intel? Follow the doodoo trail to find the stinking turd at the end.

The source makes any retort or excuse by Trump Jr. plausible. Even the grandest lie, this guy is has to wait for Cockroaches to get off a sinking ship first.

"Using this logic everyone is guilty of everything, because, y'know, who's to say that tomorrow we won't find out the evidence???"

Not at all. Trump Jr. has lied twice already just about this meeting. He only changes his story when evidence comes out proving it. So, it's entirely reasonable to wonder if more evidence will come out and Trump Jr. will, once again, change his story when it does.

Government is not supposed to be sold or brokered,

Someone should have told Hillary that.
Seriously.
Her term as SoS netted her family and their corrupt "charity" over 100 million dollars.

But you're right, the "appearance" of possible future corruption trumps massive organized systemic corruption that's already happened!

73   Rew   2017 Jul 11, 7:21am  

Meeting with a Russian = good, provided you have high ethics, allegiance to country, and are doing so in the country's best interest.

When you lie repeatedly on your SF-86, fire FBI directors, and go into fitful tweet storms: it looks like there is something there.

You have to admit, even if there is nothing behind this but neophyte incompetence, this is not a nothingburger. The administration is heavily lawyerd up and completely distracted.

The national message from the WH the past week is what? Drowned out is what.

Go deep state! Go Mueller!

To be honest I would rather America falls to Russia than Liberal scumbags. We can't, the WORLD CAN'T never afford another Liberal Reich to inflict such hostility and malice upon the world again.
We're fighting a Cold war indeed we are, the Liberals are the enemy, Russia it our Ally.

If Liberals are going to use the Red Herring Russia to over throw Trump and inflict a hostile Coup against American democracy.

They will have two enemies. About 15 million Trump voters, and Russia.

So while you Idiots are harping on about Russia and Trump we're all saying "... And?"

77   MisdemeanorRebel   2017 Jul 11, 9:25am  

Well, at least it wasn't Ukraine. Man, did they REALLY try to interfere with our elections.

78   Tenpoundbass   2017 Jul 11, 9:56am  

It's a contest between ex-Socialists or American destroying intent on being Socialist actors.
I'll go with the ex-Socialists.

There's nothing American about Modern Liberalism let's get that straight. Russia isn't trying to destroy the world like Liberal's world wide biggest Patron of destruction Soros is.
I stand in good conscious with my statement above. And know I'm not alone in that either. That's pretty much where most people stand on it.

Careful with that Hoax Ugene.

Political collusion is a direct assault upon a Democratic process, and steals from the electorate it's fair representation. The issue I have with the current preoccupation of the Russian/Trump collusion narrative is, it is just that....a narrative devoid of any clear direct evidence. As opposed to, Chair of the DNC and CNN political analyst Donna Brazile secretly providing to the Clinton campaign, advance notice of debate questions in order to give unfair advantage. This is direct inculpatory evidence and the precise definition of political collusion. Here we have a direct act of political collusion, which is a direct assault upon our Democratic process in an attempt to steal away the electorates representation....and no one seems to care? I have no problems investigating any Trump/Russia collusion, yet collusion is collusion...why is there no discussion much less investigation of Donna Brazile? It is this type of biased reporting process, which creates mistrust amongst conservatives.

New fun information today is the statement, "I love it", with regards to fully knowing that the Russian state is offering information to Jr. That is conspiracy to interfere in an election, and he loves it!

The party in power receives the most scrutiny for their dealings. I agree, that is also wrong, but to collude you would need to prove that the Hillary campaign sought out the questions themselves or in-fact used that knowledge.

If someone walks up to me on the street and offers me crack, I don't go to jail for drug use. Savvy?

If I go asking for information, or reply back to communications, "Yes, I love it. I'd love some crack." ... well ... it's clear I have a problem.

Edit: and yes, Donna Brazile should be prosecuted for her willingness to provide the information.

None occurred, the whole thing was a dishonest set up from the start, misrepresented in intent.
The person implementing the meeting was not at the meeting did not have any other function for the meeting other than misrepresenting who the meeting was for or the intent of the meeting.

Since nothing in it is legitimate or true, then the whole affair can be seen for what it was. Phishing for just this purpose and has no basis or grounds in reality.
Now had Liberals sent a Real representative from Russia with real intel against Hillary and the Trump campaign used that intel in secrecy rather than turning around and busting those that sent it to him to entrap them. Then there would be something here but there isn't.

I stand by this. 20 more Liberal prominent people will lose their job over this next bout of "Muh Russians".

You guys will look like Idiots AGAIN!

So you have seen the email thread exchange in full then and understand intent for meeting better than the current representation by the NYT?

Even if it is entrapment, or being mislead, think about what that means. It doesn't matter. Not one gosh darn bit!

Let's put it this way, if the meeting was about assassinating Hillary, and multiple Trump officials came to it seeking to conspire to do such a thing, yet nothing in the meeting happened ... then what?

Your defense amounts to, "No no, that was just plotting. They didn't actually shoot anyone yet!"

Does this logic also apply to our intelligence war against would be terrorists? Do we simply wait until they commit the crime, even if they bungle their way through it. "The bomb didn't go off. Darn it! I thought we had him this time. You need to connect the green wire here doofus!"

Your infatuation with anything Russian is intriguing at the least and stupid at the worst.

Liberals created ISIS which are the enemy of the Western culture worldwide. Obama and the Liberals perpetrated a full out assualt on the Western World. The war against us has been going on since Obama came in office. Russia tried to stop ISIS which is our enemy. And enemy of my Enemy is my friend.
Obama didn't prove himself to the western world that they are our friend. Hillary didn't prove she is Western Civilization friend, and Merkel sure as hell isn't showing the world.
Putin and China(Ironically) are the onlyones pulling for the West.
Sorry but you buttplugs just don't own the moral high ground on this you stupid sons of bitches. That has even made this whole "Muh Fucking Russians" that much more even hillarious.

It's like watching the Crocodile piss and moan to the Gods because the Lion stole his Hildebeest caucus.

We Americans were fooled by Russians and elected Donald.

The election of Trump is far deeper than that. We definitely have to have a larger discussion around propaganda in the nation.

Most disturbing things right now is:
- we seem as a nation to not care much that a foreign power strongly reached into our democratic process, and one campaign accepted the offers of help
- a healthcare bill that will lose over 22 million people care, is not moving toward a more centrist position, it is moving to the extreme right

The Trumps have not operated by any norms of previous political administrations taking office. They have not followed any of the traditional guidelines around ethics and operations.

We disagree on how "intelligent" they are. The above is absolutely true though. You can askany credible WH insider, from either side of the isle, and they will confirm.
