A private citizen, who took no oath of office, took a meeting his dad didn't know about. Yup, he's guilty of being overzealous and who is to say what he would have done with the info. Are you a mind reader? Obama admin failed at protecting us from the Russian invasion. Failed. If it is illegal to meet with Russians, run your campaign on internment camps. |
Wasn't Paul Manafort the head of the Trump campaign at the time? |
And Kushner now and advisor with top secret clearance. |
Manafort and Kushner who were in the campaign were at the meeting. You also assume the father did not know, which seems questionable to me. Rather we don't yet have a paper trail showing he knew. Its not illegal to meet with Russians, but it is to take things of value from them for a campaign, and it may be to conspire with them to alter a US election. |
Did Don Jr. meet with the Crown prosecutor? No. Is Goldstone a rep for the Russian government? No. Is the lawyer a rep for the Russian government? No. |

It's like an undercover police officer pretending he wants to sell drugs or pretending to be a hooker-they aren't actually those things but the drug buyer, hooker buyer will be arrested for committing a crime. |
who "forgot" about all these shady meetings |
Still trying to figure out what law was broken. What regulations were broken. I am not aware meeting a private citizen of another country when you're a private citizen yourself is a crime. |
This theory is beling floated and I think it's plausible.
Veselnitskaya sought the meeting under the false pretense of having damaging information against Clinton, but the reason Veselnitskaya requested the meeting had nothing to do with international adoption policy. The false pretense given was itself bait to test the campaign's receptiveness to accepting collaborative assistance from the Russian government. Thanks to this meeting the Russian government was able to determine that the Trump campaign was open to overt and collaborative assistance in the election. The Russian plans for intervention may have turned a corner as a result, evolving from an attempt to install a useful fool into the cultivation of a willing partner. Trump is not being blackmailed. He's willingly compromised. |
He's not a private citizen if he's part of his dad's campaign...he's subject to campaign regulations |

He's still a private citizen, and what regulations were broken? Name them. |
Its deeply saddening to the extent trumpettes will go to defend their cult leader. First, there was no collusion. Now that the collusion proving email dripped out by the culprit's son himself, them claim the junior is private citizen. When trump sr himself will be proven to have colluded with russian to meddle in our election, they will have another creative excuse for sure.
Are these Americans who would excuse traitors to gloat a political win? |
We liberals still believe in decency and justice, unlike you Republicans. We continue to believe that honest people, even those with different political beliefs, will step forward and condemn and then prosecute all the Trumps for the many laws they have broken since Trump took office. Alas, the Republicans are not a moral bunch, particularly the leadership. McConnell and Ryan have black souls. They will burn in Hell for all eternity for their sins, and in particular for their turning a blind eye to all the Trump family crimes. These Republicans are reprehensible. |
