the goalpost was moved so much at this point, that the defenders must be shaky.

He literally got an email saying something to the effect of: If you meet with me, I'll give you some damaging Clinton information that came from the Russian government, because they want your dad to win. And he went to the meeting.

not just went there....

took the crown price and the official campaign head with him.

wtf where those guys thinking?

Drudge jumping off the Trump train?

POTUS throws Jr. under the bus.

this is unreal.

could have worked with flynn/manafort but.....with kushner AND don jr?

is donald an idiot or what is his relationship to his family?

[ApatheticAustrian]

Democrats say they want to "follow the facts wherever they lead". That's complete BS. They already came up with the conclusion that Trump is a traitor and they have been trying to make the facts fit their narrative.

to be honest, the Obama white house knew about all of this and i tey left a trail of bread crumbs so we kind of knew that SOMETHING would come out of this.

[ApatheticAustrian]

We know that the Trumps are - regarding politics - amateurs at best.

[ApatheticAustrian]

Trump Jr. just confirmed he solicited a contribution from a foreign entity. He admitted it. Wtf is he doing and where is his lawyer?

Confirmed from an NYT source: "We were preparing to publish" story -- Don Jr. camp "asked for more time" to comment "and then pre-empted us"

have the russians set up the trumps or were the trumps just stupid beyond belief?

[ApatheticAustrian]

So seeing how the Saturday story was briefed by 'White House Advisors' I do wonder if they know this was all going to leak, and were simply trying to somehow get ahead of it, and just drop Don Jnr in it

DTJ had forwarded the email to Kushner, so Kushner was able to leak it and point the spotlight to him.

and as some people stated today, kushner still got a security clearance.....


btw i love this part of the mails

goldstone is going to be a great character for the movie.

how i such an oddball able to influence anything? lol


and i am still of the same opinion as before - there is a high possibility that NOTHING the trump campaign did was illegal or is proveable.

but the cover-up could be a real problem.

 Julian Assange‏ @JulianAssange
Contacted Trump Jr this morning on why he should publish his emails (i.e with us). Two hours later, does it himself

But jfern said that the Russia story was nothing and that we all needed to focus on fellating Bernie Sanders

there is a real possibility the public doesn't care enough to switch a lot of votes.

but it MUST be done...for america.


Source close to Manafort says he didn't read all the way down the email chain

doesn't matter....this was the mail title:

“FW: Russia – Clinton – private and confidential.”

beck is as as #nevertrump as they come.


and what the actual flying .....@TD....this is....amazingly easy to connect.

beck is as as #nevertrump as they come.

Actually, while he didn't support Trump in the election, he has been mostly supportive of his Presidency and never got caught up in the weekly outrage sessions by the left and the McMullin types.

oh, sure, since he is off the meds he is not an idiot anymore and critical of outrage.

i just meant, he never ever published anything during the last year which hurt my brain in any way and he did never compromise to my knowledge regarding my core interests/comrpomising liberal democracy.

Yup,  read the thread. The link to the Podesta emails being dumped is surprisingly clear based on Trump's statements and his campaign stuff. Also Assange and Guccifer 2.0 began getting into high gear shortly after.  

Tapper made the connection and you see shortly after the whole thing. I'm not sure how this fits with the Flynn WSJ story.

One thing that puzzles me. What led Trump to change his Russian position between 2014 and 2016? He called Russia an enemy in 2014 although expressed friendliness to Putin in 2013 at the Miss Universe pageant. Not sure on that front.

well, besides the fact that trump is famously hard to predict and arguably suffers from physical problems, there is still the little matter of the tax returns and he is kind of off-message all the time, resulting into comments which put holes into his own statements.



btw.....in internal memos, the breitbart london chief called the Donnie Junior news "collusion".

Trey Gowdy has found at least his tongue....



1. Trey Gowdy on Fox News: The drip drip drip is undermining the credibility of this administration.

2. Gowdy just now: What's w/ the amnesia of this administration? Someone needs to get everyone together and find out what the real story is

3. Gowdy says he is very concerned about the language in the email....
