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

Let me clue you in on a secret that apparently some people don't know yet. Every profession includes hacks and charlatans, including doctors and laywers. How many doctors do you see on TV selling bullshit vitamin supplements? The law profession has lots of hacks, just watch Better Call Saul for 5 minutes.

The idea that you can find some professed conservative hack lawyer to tell you this is nothing and then come flaunting it here like it's a big deal is just so damn stupid.

It's almost like lawyers are paid to spin facts based on the opinions of the people they represent or something!

Ugh what now

Imagine scenario 2 where Chelsea Clinton and John Podesta attended a meeting with an Iranian-linked lawyer promising shit on Trump. This same joke of a lawyer would be calling for public hangings.
 
I guess I overestimated how many people can recognize @dril tweets on sight

That's not a real screenshot, folks. Updated my original post.

But the fact that people thought it was real is pretty good.

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

I mean, they'd have to be to even get on board.

Like, I'm sure Russia has put these sort of feelers out in the US for 10+ years now. I'd bet that Clinton and Sanders and Cruz and everyone else got the same treatment - psst, got something cool, you wanna see? But they weren't fucking idiots and knew that colluding with a foreign power isn't worth the marginal gain of whatever information is on offer.

The fact someone took the bait is astounding.

Guys why would you ever believe a screenshot of a tweet. The time stamp is from today, take the four seconds to go check if it's real.

If you're ever sharing a tweet, always include a link.

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.
To catch a traitor... wouldn't be surprised by preditor either. Like father like son.

I would agree with that. I would also agree however that it really doesn't take too much time to actually just go to Twitter to verify the tweet actually exists. I mean, come on. Actually read that Tweet. There's like a 99% chance that it's bullshit.

As a mod you guys should be enforcing people supply link sand not saying 'well gee guys people can post what they want its your job to verify they are true'

Edit:

^Thanks. God the struggle is real

Sorry, it was a joke, I updated my post to make that clear. I thought the joke was obvious but clearly it wasn't, so I apologize.

Given the goverment is run by a joke of a family, its understandably hard to tell at this point.
