- if it's missing, how can it be found? is it lost, found or missing? that one seems lost but the photographer found it and reported it missing. so it's all threeFax_Benson
- i stand by my comments before, you need to start doing stand up. This shit is so damn funny. You would do so well.capn_ron
- well I don't know who this belongs to, but if someone does happen to find out whose foot this belongs to. Will you please tell them they lost something.omg
- your repetitive sentence structure is eerily familiar to that of trump. go see your doctor you're showing signs of dementia.dorf

All: Wow, it really looks like xyz colluded with Russia.

So now we find out that Don Jr knew in advance of this meeting that the dirt on Clinton the Russians apparently had came directly from the Russian Government's campaign against Clinton.
He is royally screwed. Don't see how there is any possible way he won't end up in prison.
- Really? No possible way? I'll take that bet.monospaced
- Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia...robotron3k
- You can get any dirt you want...especially if it's hand-delivered to you (kind of like the Press get their sources) I don't think JR has much to worry aboutPonyBoy
- It's very likely a criminal offence.BusterBoy
- Slowly I start to believe that these people will not be prosecuted at all...mnk_b
- How? The lawyer came to him saying he had shit on the Clintons... there isn't a thing wrong w/taking that meeting.PonyBoy
- not defending the Trumps here, btw... before anyone gets all worked up! Just being logicalPonyBoy
- *she (not he... re: the lawyer)PonyBoy
- there's gonna be some other crazy story next week, and the following week, and the following week, and the following week...........moldero
- trump could shoot someone in their pussy on fifth avenue, nothing's gonna happenmoldero
- Pony, it is a crime to solicit or accept anything of value from a foreign national in a campaign. FACTBusterBoy
- So apparently there are laws against soliciting information from a foreign government as part of an election campaign...that's how it could be illegal.yuekit
- Buster... nothing was delivered to him... the lawyer supposedly used the BS as a rouse to discuss something else. JR said he dismissed it... nothing there.PonyBoy
- IF there was actual info etc / something substantial and JR ran with it then you'd have something... taking a meeting means nothing unfortunately.PonyBoy
- Just a coincidence Trump Sr tweeted that same afternoon about the "33,000 Hillary emails" then. I see...BusterBoy
- So she was from wikileaks? :) Cuuuz... didn't that shit all come from there? I really wish there was something that would stick but it seems we're stuck...PonyBoy
- ... w/a mouthy orange asshole for at least a few more years.PonyBoy
- but.. but.. they talked about adoption! so caring, so sweet. moving on...BonSeff
- If you try to rob a bank and fail, does that get you off the hook? Seems questionable which is probably why JR stopped talking and has hired lawyer...yuekit
- I did agree up until the past week or so that all this Russia stuff would probably come to nothing. Now I think charges will be laid at some point.BusterBoy
- Charges must absolutely be laid, now. It's really impossible to understate the gravity of the situation. Never mind the man himself is a digusting piece of shitContinuity
- ... it's the fact that he, his family and his top people have sold their country out to their mortal enemy. This is as grave and dire as it gets.Continuity

King Dong is already trying to deflect and drag attention from his useless, balloon-brained, spunk bubble of a son by claiming Comey's published memo was illegal.

Quite bizarre given that the tangerine terror has already proven to be utterly incompetent with classified information re: Israel and Russia.
The ride never ends!

So Dumps son went to a meeting with the Russians for the sole purpose of obtaining information from a foreign government that might help his father get elected.
He didnt get the information apparently, but that is still why he met them. This is collusion, correct? If this is not collusion, I mean what the actual fuck does qualify as collusion?

'Donald Trump Jr posts emails of Russian offer of material on Clinton: "I love it"'
https://www.theguardian.com/us-n…
'The emails show music promoter Rob Goldstone telling the future US president’s son that “the crown prosecutor of Russia” had offered “to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father”.
Goldstone adds: “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr Trump.”

- ok ... so he heard from a music promoter who knows a russian lawyer who might have had dirt on Clinton but never said what ... real solid :/monospaced
- why the hell is a music promoter brokering meetings between a russian lawyer and the Trump campaign?monospaced
- and if it wasn't to get the dirt on Clinton, what WERE they meeting about then?monospaced
- Oh, supposedly, some sort of Russian baby adoption programme. ;)Continuity

- The idiot just couldn't shut the fuck up about it. I can hear the feds laughing at him.
"Holy shit Ron, he just gave us evidence! We can all go to Sizzler!"kona - That's a great comparison face_melter because Trump Jr has the same intellect and IQ as your 6yo daughter. No offense to your daughter.kona

“I was asked to have a meeting by an acquaintance I knew from the 2013 Miss Universe pageant with an individual who I was told might have information helpful to the campaign. I was not told her name prior to the meeting. I asked Jared and Paul to attend, but told them nothing of the substance. ” he said. “After pleasantries were exchanged, the woman stated that she had information that individuals connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National Committee and supporting Ms. Clinton. Her statements were vague, ambiguous and made no sense. No details or supporting information was provided or even offered. It quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information. She then changed subjects and began discussing the adoption of Russian children and mentioned the Magnitsky Act. It became clear to me that this was the true agenda all along and that the claims of potentially helpful information were a pretext for the meeting.”
Of all the possible russia connections it's another BS connection of russia "colluding" with the DNC. Terrible journalism trying in every aspect to connect russia to trump. Maybe there excuse is free news is garbage news and they have no choice. which makes me wonder how this will all work out with their new plan that relies on congress.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/…
Maybe they will promise to tone it down. Less garbage news if the billionaire serfs get an edge up against other billionaires. Helps really shine a light on wether its a pursuit of truth or filler for ad revenue.
- so he took the meeting because he thought it would result in dirt on Clinton?monospaced
- You anti-Trumpers keep getting punked by fake news, how can you keep falling for it?!robotron3k
- But Benghazi
But Fast & Furious
But emailsRamanisky2 - I think it's true that he took this meeting for these reasons, robotron. I also think it's more benign than it's being treated. Curious to see what happens.monospaced
- it's non-news mono pushing any russian narrative as much as they can, ignoring they are as credible as national enquirer these days. they don't even believe itdeathboy
- it makes much more sense if they are doing it to leverage there stake in the media game for special legislationdeathboy
- oh and if non-news isn't clear, I mean a political candidate trying to get a hold of info against rival to make them look bad. that goes without sayingdeathboy
- see how i can say that without pushing a "russia" narrativedeathboy
- stop focusing on me, I'm literally not arguing with you in any way with my commentmonospaced
- but still hopefully you can find the entertainment of it all in the irony of russian/DNC collusion in the bigger picture of it all. Quite funny in a asinine waydeathboy
- why the hell are you talking to me like I didn't say the same thing already, before you? relax and get off my nuts :)monospaced
- pleasemonospaced
- bc you are you mono. i assumed you disagree but good to know you are in complete agreement there is no russian narrativedeathboy
- or maybe i confuse you with one of the many other handles with the same group think. scrolling back a couple pages i dont see anything jumping out that udeathboy
- believed the narrative. I might be mistakening you for some other faceless drone. but i was pretty sure you jump on any bad wagon of the leftdeathboy

- lets just assume the fault is mine and ill make a note to remember if i see anything in the futuredeathboy
- and out of curiosity mono can you show me where u said the same thing? doubt i should give your word that much creddeathboy
- "I also think it's more benign than it's being treated. Curious to see what happens." The one and only comment i made here on the subject.monospaced
- I literally said I think it's not a big deal, and here you are 20 posts in addressing me as if I said the opposite. fucking relax and focus on someone elsemonospaced
- on the other hand, I don't think the Trump administration is a good one, and I think they're shady as fuck, and to think otherwise is just as naive and stupidmonospaced
- jeez cant a person make a mistake. i swore u were all about the russian collusion a month ago. i went off first comment not one to robo.deathboy

So funny that Don Jr's meeting with Russia was at 4pm. At 4:40pm Old Trump tweets out about Hillary's 33,000 missing emails, which he otherwise could not have known about being a private citizen. I remember people here wondering how he could have known about this. Now we know.
Why would Russia claim to have information on Hillary, schedule a meeting, and have nothing? They didnt. They had information on these emails, and passed it off to Don Jr to pass off to daddy.
The link between this crooked campaign and Russia has been made. Mueller is going to have a field day with these treasonous dogs. This is what Don Jr got out of that meeting, information about these e-mails, but he just lied and said he didnt get anything out of it.

The backstory on all this is pretty interesting...it has to do with an American investor named Bill Browder who made a lot of money in Russia during the 90s and early 2000s. At one point he was a major shareholder in Gazprom and other big companies.
Apparently he got on the wrong side of some powerful people and in 2013 he was banned from Russia. He claims that his company, which at the time was the largest investment fund in Russia, was taken over by criminals in the Russian government who extracted hundreds of millions using a fraudulent tax refund scheme.
Sergei Magnitsky who was Browder's lawyer investigated all of this and drew up a case against the people who did it. But instead they prosecuted Magnitsky himself for tax fraud and he was thrown in jail and reportedly tortured and eventually beaten to death.
In response Browder started waging a campaign against the people he said were responsible. He has a whole series of videos like these for instance:
Eventually he was able to convince the U.S. Congress to impose financial sanctions against 18 people in Russia that he said were responsible for Magnitsky's death. The law froze their assets in the U.S. and prohibited them from flying to the U.S.
And in response to that, Russia banned adoptions of Russian children by Americans.
That's what the Russian lawyer was talking to Don Jr. about...not getting sanctions against the Russian economy lifted, but sanctions against these 18 people.
