Trump Jr. emails - More fire and smoke

If a source connected to the Russian government offered damaging evidence about Clinton to Trump Jr. and not only did he welcomed it but attended the meeting and brought Manaford and Kushner as well, what does that say?

It says to me that none of them should be trusted with anything important, since they either didn't know or didn't care that they'd be getting propaganda from the source connected to Russia,

well this all came out because Kushner amended his SF86 (oopsie!) on to what foreign contacts he had. Jr. decided into tweet it out before the New York Times spilled the beans. In the interest of transparency of course. And the email thread is as big a fire as you can get now. It is going to be interesting on who decided to rat at now. Trump can't really disavow his family at this point can he? He's already thrown out just about everyone under the bus.

Soooooo.... How long do you guys figure until Trump is no longer the POTUS?

In reality or in his own mind? cause I suspect the latter will be much longer.

Will see come the 2018 mid terms. If the House flips and Mueller determines that there is enough to indict him, we'll at that point it'll be interesting.

Trump Jr. forgot to mention there was another person in that meeting.

So let's go down the spin shall we:

1. We never had any contacts with the Russians.

2. We had contacts but it was only in passing.

3. Yes we had a meeting with a Russian lawyer (who is a cutout), but it was only to talk about adoption.

4. Actually it was to talk about getting dirt about Clinton.

5. Okay it was collusion, but other people do it too.

6. Last one: It's a crime if a) It's continuous collusion and b) It worked. Makes you wonder why Kellyanne Conway made those conditions.

Notes: It's not known publicly yet what was discussed, but the release of the hacked info from the DNC occurred after this meeting. Also this:

A Russian intelligence operation? Is this just an isolated incident or are there more? And how far does the collaboration go? Especially if the Russians had help on which precincts to target?

At this point, I think McConnell and Ryan are just looking at keeping him as President just long enough to gut Medicare and the ACA, afterwards they will try to get him out and put Pence in.

Unless of course a Katrina level disaster strikes...then all bets are off.

Okay, new excuse..the Secret Service should had vetted the meeting:

Main reason why it falls flat...Trump Jr. wasn't then a protectee.
