[h=5]No, it’s not illegal to meet with Russians Captain Obvious, but entering into conspiracies to break federal election law is illegal. So is perjury.
They deny every allegation made about possible collusion with Russia right up until they find out that someone has multiple-sourced facts that the last shoe really did drop then they expect us all to believe them when they say there are no more shoes left to drop.
When these people go down it’s going to be spectacular.
Text: In June 2016 Don Jr., Manafort and Kushner took a meeting where these top level Trump campaign figures fully expected to get “some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful” to his father that were sourced from Russian government officials. Don Jr. was told this gift of Russian state intelligence was meant as a good faith move to demonstrate “Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump” and instead of calling the FBI to let them know a foreign government was offering to tip the scales in our most fundamental exercise of democracy he said “if it’s what you say I love it” and that’s why so many people left and right, liberal and conservative, are so pissed off: This wasn’t just an attack on the Democratic Party, it was an attack on the American democratic process.
That meeting, with a Russian attorney described to Jr. as “The Russian government attorney who is flying over from Moscow” took place in Trump Tower on June 9th. Less than two months later on July 24th when he was confronted with the idea that the Russians were trying to hurt Hillary Clinton and help his father Don Jr. said, “They’ll say anything” and that this allegation was “disgusting” and “so phony” and that he couldn’t think of bigger lies than this idea that Russia was behind the hack of the DNC servers and that they did what they did to hurt Secretary Clinton and help his father going on to say “they will lie and do anything to win.”
On December 9th of last year all 17 US Intelligence agencies reached the consensus view that Russia was behind the hack of the DNC servers and that they did what they did to hurt Secretary Clinton and help his father.
Last March Don Jr. changed his story saying that he was sure he did meet with Russians but not in any meetings that were set up and certainly not in any meetings in which he “was representing the campaign in any way, shape or form." Then when evidence emerged that he did and Kushner and Manafort had that meeting on June 9th, 2016 with that “Russian government attorney” who flew in from Moscow he said the meeting "was not a campaign issue at that time" until he learned that someone shared those emails with the New York Times. Then we found out that yes, he met with Russians, no, it wasn’t just about adoptions, yes, it was about getting damning intelligence from the Russian government meant to hurt Secretary Clinton and help Donald Trump Sr. AS SINCE DETAILED IN THE EMAILS DON JR. HAS SINCE DUMPED ON HIS TWITTER ACCOUNT.
So we’ve gone from ‘Trump was kidding’ to ‘It never happened and this is fake news’ to ‘OK, it happened but it’s not a big deal’ to ‘OK, it’s a big deal but it’s not illegal’ and you idiots expect us to start taking you seriously? Don Jr. lied about ever having met with Russians, lied about whether or not the Russians were helping his father at Secretary Clinton’s expense, he lied about what his June 2016 meeting was about and he didn’t correct the record at any point in this timeline unless it was explained to him that there was proof he had been lying the whole time. Why should anyone believe him now when he says there’s nothing more to this?
Don Jr. has already admitted entering into a conspiracy to accept something of value from a foreign national on behalf of his father’s campaign, McClatchy is reporting that both the House and Senate intel committees have joined the Department of Justice in looking into whether or not the Trump campaign’s digital operation that Jared ran, the same Jared who tried setting up a way for the Trump campaign to have a direct channel to Putin’s inner circle in such a way that the US intelligence community would not be able to monitor his activities, coordinated efforts with the Russian botnet attacks in key states and an incriminating timeline of events is emerging that suggests the Kremlin and the Trump campaign worked hand in glove to land President Pussygrabber in the Oval Office.
