Support NeoGAF

[Jyrii]

this is where twitter falls a part for me. He's still reporting? reporting what? I click the conversation and its essentially a bunch of gaf posts "omg" "your killing me"

I only use twitter for work stuff getting new information about products i use for work.

He tweeted "Update: I am still reporting" and later on NY Times released the article

So "Update 2: I am still reporting" means there will be more info coming

This entire timeline is crazy: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/look-at-the-timeline

I hope, somehow, Assange gets caught up in this shitstorm and gets locked up. For real.

I imagine unrelatedly shes getting someone to start her car for her and getting someone to taste her food

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

What I take away from that is no matter how much he shoots himself in the foot, his feet still look ok. Which seems to always be the case. Nothing will come from this.

Sorry, Debbie Downer over here.

 

[TheCochese]

He's still working on the story. There's more to come, but not ready for release yet. I'm not sure what you don't understand about this.

The language could be a little less obtuse, although I got what he meant.

It gives off the sense that something is coming within a certain time frame, say an hour or two. This could be days.

Just say you're still developing the story, and more will come when available.

 

[avaya]

when is the Hannity and Junior thing going down? (europe)

It'll be about 3AM CET

He's not American and already basically locked up. He's a red herring.

BREAKING: Russian lawyer who met with Donald Trump Jr. says she doesn't represent the Russian government, only herself.

https://twitter.com/AP/status/884864169077551104

Honestly it really doesn't matter if that is true at this point - which is highly dubious anyway. The emails refer to her several times as a Russian government lawyer and explicitly say that the meetings were part of the Russian government's plan to help elect Trump. Even if it was all a lie, Jr's intent is clearly criminal.

10 PM eastern. Idk what time that is where you live

Trump voters will not vote for GOP congresspeople who vote to impeach Trump.

The cult of personality surrounding Trump feels so constructed and propaganda fueled that I'm honestly worried they would just switch to Pence, as long as he promises to continue Trumps agenda of hate and racism.

 

[PataHikari]

I am beginning to think that Donald Trump Jr is not a smart man.

I think we're also expecting more on the Don Jr story from the NYTimes later today. It might be worth it...

Spoiler

Probably not though

So? If DJT was attempting to influence the election with the help of foreign nationals, is that not illegal in itself? I mean, what a shit attempt to move the goalposts but that doesn’t change much even if she’s telling the truth.

 

[Saganator]

We're getting close to that time of day when shit starts droppin

 

[psychowave]

"High quality person" sounds like a line from a person who has no idea what a genuine compliment sounds like. Was it generated from a robot or something?

My son is a quality person. The best person. Truly the most skilled at oxygen uptake and its later conversion to carbon dioxide.

He's the guy that did the original report. He posted that he's "still reporting" late last night. Early this morning we get this new story from him, too. Now he's "still reporting."

He's saying he's got more coming.

I don't understand this, who specifically is she a lawyer for? Sounds like the Russian government but in this instance, she wasn't?

Also if you think the Mueller version of this incident stops at "Oh she said she WASN'T involved with the Kremlin so we stopped checking" then...

 

[mnannola]

My friend told me about the timing of Trump's speech stating that he'd have damning information on Hilary and holy shit. I feel like that's big news buried underneath all the other big news.

So what did Trump know on June 7th, and how did he know about it?

 

[Shauni]

Trump's cult of personality is from his off beat wannabe strong persona. Pence is like the most vanilla ass face in the crowd of the GOP, it'd basically be Romney again, and no one got behind him, not really.

 

[avaya]

Remember the meeting in and of itself was treasonous.

The FBI not knowing about the meeting is also potentially obstruction of justice.

I have confidence Kushner and Junior are prosecutable under the Federal statute but Trump would obviously pardon them both.

They need to nail them on State crimes and NY State will do the rest.

 

[Stinkles]

I imagine the US has a LOT of stuff on Assange they simply haven't talked about. Remember he was gonna leave the embassy when Chelsea Manning was freed? Oh, or when the "trumped up" rape charges were dropped, etc.

Where is he again these days?

Not disclosing the meeting is also an offense.

Looks like London via asylum.

It seems completely irrelevant. The fact is she was portrayed as a Russian government lawyer in the email sent to Don Jr, and he was perfectly OK with that fact.

 

[RumbleHumble]

Sorry, Debbie Downer over here.

Yeah, just like when he fired Comey.

Wait, isn't that how we got an on-going independent investigation?

Wouldn't this new evidence strengthen the on-going independent investigation from undue outside influence?

No, wait! We're supposed to poop on anyone trying to make things better around here because if they succeed then that makes me the asshole!

She's just a free spirited Russian patriot, comrade.

 

[RumbleHumble]

What matters is that Trump Jr. understood her to be an attorney representing the Russian government and he said "Oh boy! Can't wait!"

I see the NeoGAF party seems to be in full effect right now.

The emails are highly embarrassing and politically damaging, but as usual, the media and other Trump opponents are overstating the case. The media overstating the case and popping the champagne corks are probably the best things Trump Jr. and the Trump administration have going for them.


The emails show no actual evidence of “collusion” or illegality. There is nothing indicating the information to be offered was stolen or otherwise improperly obtained, or that other than being willing to listen, the Trump campaign was involved in how the information was obtained. To the contrary, the promised information was “official records and information.”

This also took place prior to the hack of the DNC being publicly known, so there was no reason to suspect that this was hacked information. Notice how the narrative has changed from the Trump campaign colluding with the Russians to “hack the election” to the Trump campaign being willing to have a meeting with someone who may have damaging oppo research.

And of course, there was no there there. There’s no indication any information actually existed.

[avaya]

"Love it".

 

[MutFox]

Whatever, he'll get a presidential pardon.

 

[hendersonhank]

There would be nothing donald trump Jr. or Manafort could say like that as they do not work in government and this is not classified.

The point is that unless they are subpoenaed, they don't have to answer anything at all, or even show up. It's all voluntary.

Russian lawyer says she had no info on Clinton

And that the Russian government had some sort of effort to help his dad.

Are you posting this so we laugh about it or do you agree with the story?

Edit: The latter it seems. Man, you are delusional. It explicitly states Russian government support. That the Trump camp didn't run to the FBI with this is already a crime.

Can we just get a bar set for what you hypocrites are willing to agree is bad right now so we can avoid this when the next story comes out?

 

[habithipster]

Pence is like the most vanilla ass face in the crowd of the GOP

How dare you question the authority of Mike "Silver Fox" Pence!

 

[Kadin]

Based on their text, it seems the latter. Was wondering as well.

Yet after the hack took place. Hmmmmmm...

So did Russia plan on the Trump family being this fucking stupid or are we just blessed

Assuming that there is no other evidence, sure.

Kushner (and perhaps Sessions) could be in deep trouble for not disclosing meetings, however.

But the email also refers to some other line of communications between Trump (directly) and Russia. There almost certainly is more to follow.
