Getting Kained!
From comments on my local news channel's Facebook...
Trumper 1 - It does not show Russian aid because there never was a meeting so what it shows is, nothing, absolutely nothing again!
Trumper 2 - Email chain shows nothing. The Music Publicist doesn't even know who the originals came from. And the Attorney has said she has nothing to do with the government. Anything to keep this Russia thing going.
Trumper 3 - The fact that this is their issue this week just proves they have nothing.
Me - Wait a minute... Trump Jr. has said himself that there was a meeting (I don't know how you could miss that) but that he didn't hear what he wanted to hear... and what he wanted to hear was "high level and sensitive information" that would "incriminate Hillary" and be "very helpful to [his] father" and that was "part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump"

It's hard to have proper brain function later in life when your diet was consistently an intake of lard.
I love how Trump Jr tied to get one up on the NYT and releases his emails himself but omits the one containing the actual illegal stuff, only for the NYT to release that one and Trump Jr to then release it himself and make up some BS about size restraintsFor fecks sake. Stupid is as stupid does
You don't pick a fight with the US media AND it's intelligence agencies. There's no winning there.
I missed something.. What leak are we talking about?
One thing I don't get, and it might be because of a time zone difference between Trump and his son, but the time stamp is 1:40pm. They met at 4pm.
Edit: Also... Jake Tapper on Trump Jr. "We asked him to appear tonight, but he hasn't responded, as he only wants to appear on his father's favorite news channel"
Edit #2: He tweeted about "30,000 deleted emails" on May 17th as well
Brian Stelter on CNN, implied the NYT got the emails from someone in the WH.
Who knew that emails would become a big deal again, right? lol
Word. Thanks!
No, I think most people have forgotten that Trump assaulted the FBI in particular and slagged all the intelligence agencies off and accused them of all sorts of shit. Also, Comey was apparently extremely popular, it's folly to think that Trump can insult them and the press and get away with it.
He's posted a few good things such as details on the Mayflower hotel meeting, but he's a bit of a drama queen and attention seeker.
Posted this in the morning. Its a coordinated leak by the WH to try to get ahead of the story.
Its worth noting all this is about just 1 meeting.
They've had countless private meetings with the Russians, which the intel agencies will have much more info on and which will be in the hands of Mueller.

Indeed. And it looks like they are paying out. It shouldn't need pressure for them to do so though, it's a scummy move.
But I digress, back to Trump! Am I wrong to be feeling like this is another false dawn?
Don't know why, but somehow it feels like all of this comes directly out of the 'I could shoot somebody and not lose any voters'-playbook.
It's already been posited upthread but it certainly looks like a clear drip feeding of info to the press by the intelligence agencies. And it's working. I guess we're all impatient to see these slime out of the WH and hopefully banged up so it can feel like it's taking an age but the reality is that this is moving fast.
I'm not a vindictive guy but I want Trump and his people to go down as far as it is possible.
I'll take it farther @Barca84 - I want all of the family in jail (aside from Melania and the children); the likes of Conway, Huckabee-Sanders, Miller, and other spinsters to never work again; the likes of Bannon et al disappear Hoffa style; and the GOP to implode.
I see nothing coming coming from this at all
This is my fear and likely the reality.
That kind of 'spite' seems awfully close to blackmail.

BEST, TWEET, EVER!
It just keeps coming and getting better and better!
Lock his son up! This is the first evidence of what Trump had probably done during the electoral campaign.
For fecks sake. I laughed out loud at this.
What a day. I just hope there's a lot more coming out as it's odd they would release it all on a Sunday/Monday unless they had more to drop.

I must defend the Donald on this one, though. It must be really difficult to hold on to a baby when your hands are that small.
And when he's that ugly. Must be a natural reflex to drop him and throw your hands over your eyes
The most obvious breaking news story of all time.
As long as it's politically helpful to keep Trump in place, I think we'll just see more deflection from the GOP Congress. But I don't know that will be the case forever and I could see it change before 2018. They'll need to be sure someone like Pence is insulated and that the people they want gone - the Trumps, Bannon, Kushner etc - can be removed without harming themselves. McConnell and Ryan will wait until they get a few more things they need like the Obamacare repeal and tax reform then consider it. But until then I think there will just be more drip drip drip leaks.
Maybe someone has to step down. Kushner would be my guess, Bannon would probably be happy to tell DJT there needs to be a sacrifice. Kushner comes off the worst in this IMO as he's the only one of the 3 that is actually part of the current WH. Shame if that happens, now we'll never get peace in the Middle East!
It must be strange to investigate a group of people who are constantly trying everything in their power to undermine your investigation and then go to Twitter to share possible evidence with the whole world.
I wonder how many of us would support a military coup to depose this ludicrous regime? Tough question, perhaps, despite the frightening precedent it would set.
I'm at a stage right now were everything is just really bizarre to me. I never struggled this much in finding sense in the actions of a group of people, let alone politicians. I simply don't understand why they are doing anything anymore. I'm constantly switching between thinking they are brilliant masterminds who are playing everyone to build up their own autocracy, or complete morons who are only coming into power because they appeal to other morons. And I really don't know what the middleground would be on this one. Maybe they are brilliant morons.
I couldn't support that, and I believe it would be the worst thing to happen to this country since the Civil War.
It would be the beginning of a very violent civil war. The majority of the army will be supporting him because he's doing what all dictators do and backing his forces with plenty of money.
Noone.
I'm just being stupidly impatient, of course.
Wow. Trump Jr getting battered.
Brain says no but the gut is all for it.
