FBI had no knowledge of meeting until NYT story

And people kept talking about how if there was anything the FBI would have found it instantly blah blah blah no evidence. Investigations take months and years.

No wonder all the Republicans care about are leaks. What a band of criminals.

He is Democratic Congressman for #MA6

How great is it that EMAILS could ultimately bring down the Trumps?

Only thing better is if Trump's birth certificate shows he was born in Kenya.

 

[kris.]

The best thing about all of this is that it's only Tuesday. This week's gonna be dope.

 

[Haunted Tank]

It's Shakespearean in irony.

It's Lucasesque, with all the poetry and the rhyming!

 

[Exile20]

Looks like some shit you'd find in a gmail spam folder.

The trumps are too dumb to use codewords

 

[MidnightMania]

Hate to be pessimistic but it seems like nothing matters anymore. Will we even see a tad bit of change to come out of this?

 

[Clydefrog]

Sean Spicer must be so glad that he doesn't have to spin this one.

 

[Greigor The Fellhand]

The best thing about all of this is that it's only Tuesday. This week's gonna be dope.

if it's anything to go by I fully expect this week to be filled with Earthshakers and God killers.

 

[snacknuts]

"they said I could become anything, so I became a liability."

I laughed very hard at this.

 

[Master Yoshi]

This is not shocking.

We know precisely who the GOP are at this point, and we know what they value.

I want to peer into the alternate universe where Chelsea Clinton colluded with Russians while the Republican party said it was nothing to worry about.

 

[Toxi]

Any Trump supporters left on Gaf who want to comment on this?

Hey, diablos!

"Collusion is not illegal, and there is nothing to connect this to Trump Sr. anyway. I'm interested in how this plays out."

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Follow-up is so good.

1) Meeting would be a crime in an of itself.
2) Not telling the FBI about it could be obstruction of justice.

FUN!

Trump's sweating.

 

[Charcoal]

Will anything result from this information being shared? I know it's still early, but it feels like similar stuff has come out from Donnie and it's just business as usual.

That's kind of worrying. Good on NYT for figuring this out though

 

[ChemicalCutthroat]

Are we there yet?

 

[Fried Food]

This will probably change nothing.

 

[ebullientprism]

I still dont understand why he would release those emails. What the actual fuck is going on.

 

[Protein]

When being rich doesn't stop you from being dumb.

 

[Jay Shadow]

How great is it that EMAILS could ultimately bring down the Trumps?

Well since everything else he ever said to discredit another person was a reflection on himself, I don't know why we didn't see this coming sooner.

"they said I could become anything, so I became a liability."

This might be my favorite so far.

 

[Netherscourge]

...or Moscow.

 

[habithipster]

I'm telling you, nobody will ever touch Trump.

And I'm telling you, Trump will die in prison. That was easy.

 

[ElFly]

A someone who thinks a lot of the past smoking guns have been "nothing" (I think they're all 100% guilty but that nothing would stick to them), this is definitely "something".

A senior campaign figure setting up a meeting for intelligence obtained by the Russian government to try and help swing the election.

The really mind-boggling thing is Trump Jr tweeting it himself. Now, every news story isn't going to start with "The NYTimes is reporting that...", it's going to be starting with "Donald Trump Jr confirmed...". Why? All just to spite the NYT from getting an exclusive? How is this "getting in front of" the story?

well they can at least say that "the fake media" is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill with info they themselves disclosed

which will prolly work with his base

dunno if intentional tho

Im telling you. someone in the IC leaked this stuff after last weeks Russia stuff.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

If the GOP covers for Trump through all this, the IC agencies will tear down everything with a Trump name as retaliation. His businesses, his friends, his connections, his family. Russia will lose it's oligarchs rooted in the US. And this is just the US IC agencies.

Imagine when the IC starts aiming itself at the GOP proper.

True

"Nobody uses .357 Magnums any more. Call me when they find a Sig Sauer.

FAKE NOOZ"

 

[ThLunarian]

Clinton seemed to know about the Russia collusion far ahead of anyone else. I wonder if people from her campaign are pointing folks in the right direction behind the scenes?

Maybe Clinton herself is on a secret mission to bring Trump to justice.

That would be pretty poetic

My congressman, and he's great.

Is there irrefutable proof that this attorney was an agent of the Kremlin??? Or she happens to be Russian and has simply made everyone go bananas?

If they charge him with something and daddy is still in office, can't he just pardon him?

In a way this is shocking by itself.. But it does mean that Trump Jr. admission of guilt is an even dumber move. Stupid Watergate indeed.

Trying to make it out alive.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Maybe. Or maybe they have a better understanding of what's actually illegal and what isn't. IANAL but I would bet that for this new info to be helpful, it would have to be proven that DT Jr knew for a fact that the dirt on Hilary was illegally obtained. Good luck with that.

But hell, maybe King Cheetoh will be impeached by Labor Day.

How would the Russian government legally acquire this data that if was what was advertised is most likely something that not even is readily available to many agencies of our own government?

 

[jmdajr]

 

[prag16]

Is there any legal analysis of this yet? I need to know what this means for all the high-ranking people involved.

Yep. The celebratory circlejerk here is a little premature, and feels like deja vue. Haven't we learned by now?

This will probably change nothing.

Probably.

He had to, NYT had the emails already. It is better to show them yourself in hopes of creating a narrative.
