Trump Jr./Russian lawyer meeting: Jr. knew info was part of Russian Gov effort

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

No law breaking activities that I've read about here.  Bad optics, but that's nothing new.

There are so many nothingburgers floating around DC these days that they can solve any world hunger problem that exists. 

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Can I please have a bowl of borscht to go with my nothingburger?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Can I please have a bowl of borscht to go with my nothingburger?

Nope, wouldn't want you to get too fat.

Fine, I'll add extra Russian Dressing to my salad.

Honest question do you keep saying "nothingburger" to convince us or are you trying to convince yourself?

Neh, I'm convinced, but I can't convince the left.  I just use it cause I like it, for now.  (Honest answer)

To expand on my honest reply, I truly believe most of American does this when the Russian drums beat every morning, noon and night on the news.

Schiff says that the House Intel committee has much more info on the Russia investigation that has not been made public: http://thehill.com/homenews/house/341417-top-intel-dem-warns-trump-jr-we-have-much-more-intel-than-what-public-knows

2020 candidate Schiff will have it leaked.  No worries.

You guys realize your "collusion" narrative is hilarious since no one is better at digging up dirt than the Clintons, right?  They're just smarter about it.  Every campaign has a dirt digging operation, from your local councilman to the top doggie.

Yes, every candidate performs opposition research.  If this were ordinary opposition research, nobody would care about that. But in this case, we have what looks like use of criminally obtained material by a foreign government's intelligence service.  Do you really not see a difference?

Of course, I just haven't seen what you see.

I'll be the first to admit this is far from proven at this point.  But the information so far is troubling, and keeps becoming more so.  Want to meet me halfway and acknowledge that it's a possibility and bears further investigation?

I truly have no issues with further investigation of any of the Russia stuff.  It's just the 24/7 barrage of it that drives me nuts.

There Are None So Blind
As Those Who Will Not See

Maybe the Good Lord will come back and rub mud in my eyes so I can see again.

He'll cancel.

The desire for attention whoring is too strong.

Yum.

Wow Trump really is digging himself deeper today in Paris: "anyone would of taken that meeting" are you serious?

He's not wrong, you see.

There are tons of quotes from elected officials saying they would have called the FBI if they were approached by a foreign power. It's possible they're all lying, but there isn't actually a past record of this happening all the time.

I thought it was in dispute whether she was a Russian attorney, or an attorney for Russia?

This is what Goldstone wrote in his email. Whether or not V-----aya has deniability or not about her ties to the Kremlin—and that deniability is considered fictional given that she lobbies for the gov't's interests—the info was presented as coming from the gov't.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Interesting.  We'll see how it pans out but I still think his guess about others taking the meeting is correct.  Thanks for the update.

What a sh**t show this is.
