Transparency is now judged by the fact that Uday released the emails only after being contacted for comment by the NYT as they were about to write a story? And only after asserting the meeting was a nothingburger about adoptions? Interesting. |
Trump Jr. lied lied lied. Trump's admin is full of liars, with the biggest liar at the helm. If HRC's team had done this, you Trumpsters would be all over it. Steele was an ally; Russians aren't. You are all traitors. |
Sure. Don Don has no clue how sophisticated Russian intelligence tradecraft is. He was played, took the bait, and essentially became a Russian agent himself. He may still not understand that. |
I wonder if there is a law requiring you to notify authorities if you know a foreign power is trying to influence elections? |
But in fact, she was not a Russian government lawyer nor was she representing them. |
Steele was the ally of his payday. |
Yes, in the end the story will be about greed, hubris, and political naivete. The Trump kids were raised to think they are untouchable. We'll see if that's true. Could NOT have happened to a more deserving family. |
A. They she thought she was B. She was clearly acting on behalf of the Russian intelliegence service to provide plausible deniability Read up on Russian intelligence tradecraft before defending the indefensible. This kind of dangle is right out of the playbook. |
Steele is a foreign national. |
Obama WAS PRESIDENT. He wanted to engage in diplomacy. Like Presidents do. Like Trump and Putin at the G20. Trump was the son of a candidate with no official government role. He wanted to engage in illegal behavior. Like Trumps do. Now, if Obama had been a private citizen, and the conversation had been about getting "something of value" to win the election, you might have a point. As it is, you do not. |
She has publicly stated she was not acting on behalf of the Russian gov. Citations to prove she was? |
The email states clearly that the information is coming from the Russian government. Is that true? We don't know yet. But the important part is that the Trump family (Don Jr), White House officials (Jared) AND campaign (Manafort) all thought they were going to meet with a Russian contact to get dirt on Hillary as part of the Russian government support for Trump. It LITERALLY, incredibly, is all in the email. |
I hate having to fight over facts but did you read the emails published today???? I suggest you go read it first. Don Jr thought she was a Russian Government lawyer .. it does not matter what she really is .. It what she thought she was when he went to meet her. |
Where did Steele get his info from? |
1. Stele is not a foreign government 2. He did not give the oppo research away. He was paid for it 3. Even given 1&2, it was still slimy. Not as limy as a golden shower. But slimy. |
