The more I read about Trump's family - and the Kochs too, from that article someone posted earlier - it's like something that was written for a Mirror Universe episode of Star Trek. All the backstabbing and lack of loyalty to your own family members. I just can't relate to that, but I'm grateful for it in this case.

Just a pause in my opinion. I really think that Trump sr. genuinely believes he has not done anything wrong, and the media are liars who only want to destroy him and his family because they are jealous.

Oh I'm sure Trump Sr. believe this is an unfair witch hunt, but the magnitude of this gently caress up is such that Trump is actually thinking before saying something about it. Or more likely his lawyers have managed him to not say anything for the time being. Either is a remarkable shift from his usual habit of screaming about something the moment he hears about it.

the memo was produced by fusion gps. fusion gps is an american consulting firm that was hired by republican and democratic donors whose products were later circulated around political and media circles.

fusion gps is not a foreign government. as far as we know, the dossier was not compiled under the direct orders of the clinton campaign.

In fairness to Greenwald those previous comments were before this revelation. I will be interested to see if he thinks this is anything or not. Probably not, since so far he has been very negative on the Russia stuff.

A lot of rich families are that way. It is sort of like office politics but instead of setting up that smug jerk in accounting to take the fall you work to get your sister in law disinherited.

I love how NYT is just drip drip drippng this story out in direct contrast to how Trump and co. respond to it.

NYT: "Check out this story about Trump Jr."

Jr: "It was nothing, woman wanted to talk about russians babies."

NYT: "...And Clinton info."

Jr. "Well yeah, but she tricked me!"

NYT: "You got the goddamn email telling you want it was about!"
