quote:

The June 3, 2016, email sent to Donald Trump Jr. could hardly have been more explicit: One of his father’s former Russian business partners had been contacted by a senior Russian government official and was offering to provide the Trump campaign with dirt on Hillary Clinton.

The documents “would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father,” read the email, written by a trusted intermediary, who added, “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”

If the future president’s elder son was surprised or disturbed by the provenance of the promised material — or the notion that it was part of an ongoing effort by the Russian government to aid his father’s campaign — he gave no indication.

He replied within minutes: “If it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer.”

Four days later, after a flurry of emails, the intermediary wrote back, proposing a meeting in New York on Thursday with a “Russian government attorney.”

I smell pardons coming.

Was Trump Jr working in an official capacity for his dad's campaign at that time? If he wasn't, then how/why would it actually impact Trump himself aside from bad optics and more smoke?

These guys feel like everything is always in their favor, so any evidence to the contrary is obviously just a farce. Even if its written evidence that directly contradicts them.

This poo poo is loving hysterical. I mean, hail gay satan and nothing will actually end up happening, but this is some conspiracy theory-level poo poo that Fredo just confirmed.

Now I'm really curious, who the gently caress leaked all this stuff? These are internal Trump Organization emails. What changed on Friday? I mean, this all smells like a Kushner play, but he's involved too!

What changed behind the scenes?

I think he's looking at it wrong. I get his sentiment, but he basically forced Trump Jr's hand. Or something. Trump Jr should have just shut the gently caress up but he wouldn't have done that bullshit "for full transparency [after I'm already busted]" tweet were it not for that guys story.

It's not about getting leaked. Investigative journalists dug until they got word that there were emails and had confirmed basically what was the content of said emails. Don Jr. when reached for comment about the story just dumped the poo poo.

Also the poo poo discussed in those emails is fire, not smoke. These emails are actual hard evidence of multiple crimes committed by at least Jr, Kush, and Manafort and Sr. is heavily implicated as well.

Grimey Drawer
Josh Marshall has the observation that with these emails, the senior Trump people are all completely exposed as liars in regards to the Russia stuff.

I mean, everyone knew they were lying/something fishy was going on but this is actual hard copy evidence that they all knew they were meeting with a Russian national with information from the Russian government with the purpose of getting dirt on Hilary and giving an edge to Trump in the election. There's no alternative fact-ing this. It's straight from Jr. They had a sitdown with a Russian to get Russian government-sourced info to help Trump.

Like, I'm at a loss for words.


And Junior put these emails out there simply to beat an NY Times story? It's mind-boggling.
