Living in a hateful world sending me straight to Heaven
Rush has finally got his angles...

1. Don Jr is an idiot who fell for a Russian honey pot and nothing was exchanged. - NO CRIME!
2. The DEMS were given anti-Trump information by the Ukrainians. - DEMS DID A CRIME!

How did Pence have access to Jr.'s email?

The only one in the WH with access to that email was Kush. This all came from the Kush camp.

Manafort was absolutely sharing everything with Bannon at that time and Bannon just wants chaos

Jr. is for sure an idiot, no question. But how much worse is it having him release the e-mails than having NYT release them? The Times was obviously going to be releasing them today anyway

You were skeptical about the hacking, not the collusion, but wasn't this meeting specifically to sell the Clinton emails to the Trump campaign?

Still circumstantial but tons of journalists were digging up that Trump abruptly began talking about the Clinton emails like immediately after this meeting

Trump tweeted about Hillary's email server the day of the meeting, but those weren't the emails that were hacked. And it was hardly the first time Trump had tweeted or talked about her emails. It was something he brought up at every rally.

if the NYT had released the emails Don Jr could just have said "these are fake and bad, fake news!"

I look away from politics for one hour to do some Prime Day shopping and this drops. Full blown "Yes we knew this meeting was about Russian campaign involvement, yes we knew Trump had the support of the Russian government."

How is the White House now in lockdown and papers for resignation not being drawn up?

I think it's really interesting that the Don Jr story was released right before a work week on Sunday afternoon, so that the government has to spend all week wrestling with the fallout

Normally you get the big bombs on Friday so the news can disseminate throughout the population over the weekend, but this was timed specifically to force the White House to address it, not for maximum population spread

It's literally impossible for him to deny anything now. Even if the nyt released them he could just shout fake news and the maga chuds would accept that without question.

Do you think Trump is clever enough to draw a distinction between DNC and Hillary though?

Definitely not, but he tweeted about her emails many times before and after that day. The whole thing is that Olbermann pointed out that it was the first time Trump had mentioned "33,000 missing emails", but again, that's a specific detail that had nothing to do with this Russia meeting and is from a CNN story from 2015. Olbermann is kinda dumb, basically.
