Emails Show Trump Jr. Knew Information May Have Come From Russian Government

[InTheLight]

You continue to exceed all expectations for irrelevancy.

Goes to your contention that Trump admin is more transparent than Obama's. Tough to be transparent when you don't have press conferences and when you do you do not allow recording devices.

Speaking of irrelevancy, since Donald Jr. is not in the administration how is his releasing of his emails proof of Trump admin transparency?

President Trump has held just one press conference as president



NBC News reports that according to the American Presidency Project, Trump's number of news conferences is just a blip in recent presidential history. At this point in his presidency, Barack Obama had held six press conferences and nine joint Q&A sessions with foreign leaders. George W. Bush had held eight joint news conferences. And Bill Clinton had conducted seven solo press conferences, nine joint appearances with foreign leaders, and one with Attorney General Janet Reno.

Yep. That's the one. I made no such contention.

And to make matters worse, your response was totally irrelevant to the subject.

I was hoping you would soon regain your equilibrium after trump was elected. But I really believe you're just as bad as you were on day 1.

Junior can be excused, more or less, because he was naive, although his glee at finding the Russian government might have some dirt on Hillary makes you wonder. But Manafort was a seasoned operative familiar with how the Russians do things and Kushner is credited with having good sense. So what were they thinking?

Big time backpedaling going on here.
You said Donald Trump Jr. releasing his emails was "quite a departure from the ultra secretive Obama administration."

And to make matters worse, your response was totally irrelevant to the subject.

Deflect, backpedal.

.....And, insult.

The trifecta has been achieved!

I wonder....had this woman had dirt on the Russians aiding Hillary Clinton's campaign...do you suppose Donald Jr., Kushner, and Manafort would have told Donald J. Trump about it?

Nah...I'm sure they wouldn't have mentioned it.

Well, that's the elephant in the room. Suppose that the Trumpvirate would have withheld the information from The Donald. Normal people would say no. But would they have have dared to suggest that he needed Russian help to win the election? I don't think so. His character flaws may have made it impossible to confront him with the truth, whatever that is. He doesn't seem to like reality too much when it's not on a medium he can control.

There was nothing to withhold. The meeting with the Russian lawyer was totally unremarkable.

Wonderful!

Glad to see each president exercising his 1st amendment rights as he sees fit including tweeting blurbs to get around the fake news organizations.

Of course because Trump Jr. got baited hook line and sinker and even established a paper trail. It was all too easy. Russia is laughing at us right now.

As you yourself deflect

Nope, I'm on topic. Carpro is veering off as usual.

Yes he has been known to veer to the RIGHT.

Liberal Legal Scholar Scoffs At Claims Donald Trump Jr. Guilty Of Treason


Liberal constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley laid to rest many of the claims Tuesday from the media and politicos of illegality and collusion surrounding Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a “Kremlin-connected” lawyer.

Turley, a legal scholar at George Washington University, batted away claims of criminality, asking “does any of this constitute a clear crime or even a vague inkblot image of a crime?” His answer: no, not on the facts.

Richard Painter, a former ethics lawyer in President George W. Bush’s administration, said on MSNBC Sunday that the meeting “borders on treason.” Turley notes the specificity of Article III of the Constitution’s delineation of what exactly constitutes treason — “levying war against [the United States], and “providing aid and comfort to the enemy.” Aside from the fact that the details discussed at the meeting — if any at all —regarding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are unknown, the encounter does not amount to treason.

At last, a liberal constitutional scholar who not only possesses common sense but is honest as well.

The emails do not show treason. It also does not show collusion. But it does show a willingness and desire to collude with what was thought to be a Russian actor to interfere with the US election.

If all the parties are telling the truth about what actually happened, then there was no collusion but just Donald Jr being duped into a meeting with the promise of collusion. Maybe there were other similar meetings who used a similar tactic and were successful at giving Donald Jr what he wanted with Manafort and Kushner in attendance. We'll see.

These clowns don't know what they are doing. It's going to be a long four years.

It would have been much longer with Hillary in office.

She always knew what she was doing, and it was always dishonest , sneaky and crooked.

No problem that naivete was involved with Trump Jr. IMO he needs a verbal reprimand in that case.

Also in the name of truth and justice democrats should also be called down if discovered of Russian collusion.

Will it happen?

As we've documented below and in links within this story, both Clinton and Obama have sketchy histories, to be generous, when it comes to Russia. Compared to them, Trump may look like Mr. Clean.
