NYT now has the email to Donald Trump Jr. offering Russian aid to "incriminate"

I sent this to my Trump supporter friend.

She says "oh, this is old news and has already been debunked. Russian lawyer lady said they met over something else."

I said "well, Trump Jr already agreed with the reports and released the emails himself."

She just said "it's all made up, I can't wait until we are over this and Trump can move on."

Teflon Trump.

So...he made it up? Trump Jr. made it up? What's the reasoning to that? like...oh god, my head hurts.
 
I don't even know why we need more to the obstruction of Justice case. Trump admitted to it on live TV. Shit is like an episode of Columbo where you see the crime and killer first and see them work through how to get there lol

Yeah this isn't so much courtroom drama material as it is Judge Judy or Scooby-Doo.
 
.@SHSanders45 reads @POTUS statement: ”My son is a high quality persona and I applaud his transparency."

I think it was typo in tweet, didn't caught it first myself either.
 
I would bet that Russia reached out to her camp first because they had evidence she was cheating in the primary and fixing the polls by hacking her private server. Russia probably wanted to talk sanctions in exchange for keeping quiet. Hillary didn't bite because she thought the election was wrapped up, with Trump grabbing genitals and all. Once those talks stalled, Russia went to Trump as a "plan B."

This is what makes the most sense to me. The IC has been investigating all of this for over a year. I'm almost positive Russia was playing both sides with Team Trump being the ones taking the bait. Of course this looks bad all around, because of the implications that our politics can be manipulated by outsiders, so it was best to keep this quiet. But with politicians and news groups being the mature adults they are, leaks and further digging was inevitable.

That's nice fan fiction.

What a shitshow. Trump applauds his transparency?

After Don Jr lied about the premise of the meeting until the evidence came out? Who only released the emails after being told they were going to be released?

"transparency" indeed.

Trump: So proud of my stupid son. Following in his tiny hands father's footsteps and incriminating himself through Twitter.

So he is effectively throwing Jr. under the bus. Notice he didn't say that he committed to crime or wrongdoing? This statement is similar to what a parent would say at a death penalty hearing. "Well, he was a nice boy before his murder spree and he will always remain my son."
Or akin to what he said after the thing with Flynn. Something along the lines of, "He has amazing integrity blahblah".
 
ok can i have my life back now? i need to do other things than read Trump threads and NYT articles all day.

this is the beginning of the end right? i can relax and play videogames?
