Donald Trump Jr. gathered members of campaign for meeting with Russian lawyer before election
By Sara A. Carter and John Solomon
4 Hours Ago

Portions from article:
[i]"President Trump was not aware of the meeting and did not attend it, according to the lawyers. A translator and an American businessman working for a pro-Russian business lobby also attended the meeting, which lasted about 20 minutes, according to the interviews.

The president’s legal team said Saturday they believe the entire meeting may have been part of a larger election-year opposition effort aimed at creating the appearance of improper connections between Trump family members and Russia that also included a now-discredited intelligence dossier produced by a former British intelligence agent named Christopher Steele who worked for a U.S. political firm known as Fusion GPS.

“We have learned from both our own investigation and public reports that the participants in the meeting misrepresented who they were and who they worked for,” said Mark Corallo, a spokesman for President Trump’s legal team. [b]“Specifically, we have learned that the person who sought the meeting is associated with Fusion GPS, a firm which according to public reports, was retained by Democratic operatives to develop opposition research on the President and which commissioned the phony Steele dossier.[/b] "[/i][/quote]

This makes a lot of sense. Consider Creamer and Fogle, and how they had to leave their company after O'Keefe's investigative video. Consider the fact that Dems hired a private investigative firm, who you can control, to check if their servers were compromised, rather than go directly to the FBI. Consider that the Steele dossier has been front and center as 'proof'. Consider Fusion GPS has worked for Planned Parenthood.
Consider also, Republican "Never Trumpers" hired Fusion GPS before the Dems did, during the campaign for candidacy. [/quote]
