witch hunt?
|
witch hunt? The president likes to refer to the Russia collusion investigation as a “witch hunt” So guess what? We found a witch. Or more precisely a warlock, named Donald Trump Jr. Donald Trump Jr. has offered a series of explanations over the past 72 hours for why he met with a Russian lawyer who purported to have information about Hillary Clinton's campaign. He tried out his latest one with Fox News' Sean Hannity on Tuesday night. "I didn't know if there was any credibility, I didn't know if there was anything behind it, I can't vouch for the information," Trump Jr. said. "Someone sent me an email. I can't help what someone sends me. I read it, I responded accordingly." By this explanation, Trump Jr. is blameless because all he did was respond to an email -- promising info on Clinton -- from Rob Goldstone, a publicist for a wealthy musician. It's just not that simple -- or anywhere close -- for Trump Jr., however. First -- and most important: Getting an email is one thing. Quickly responding to it to set up a phone call or a meeting is another. The first is passive. Someone sends you an email. The second is active. You act on the email, setting up a meeting to get the information. Two very different things. The latter is what Trump Jr. did here. Not only did he respond to the email to set up a meeting but he also replied to Goldstone that he'd "love it" if the information on Clinton was as bad for Clinton as Goldstone promised. (Goldstone had said it was "incriminating" in a previous email.) Trump Jr. also invited Jared Kusner adviser and then campaign manager Paul Manafort to the meeting as well. That's enough to put the lie to Trump Jr.'s all-I-did-was-get-an-email explanation. But Trump Jr. also had plenty of other information via previous emails from Goldstone that made him something less than just a guy who got an email. Goldstone had already told Trump Jr. that the information had likely come from a Russian prosecutor from a meeting with Aras Agalarov, a Russian real estate tycoon whose , Emin, the musician, employs Goldstone. Not only that, but Goldstone had told Trump Jr. in a previous email that "this is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump." "Part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump." It's very hard to misinterpret that. It's a direct statement from Goldstone, who Trump Jr. has known since at least 2013, about where the information is coming from and what the goal of passing it along to the Trump campaign is. This is not Trump Jr. flying blind off of an email "someone" sent him. Not even close. Trump Jr. knew the sender. He knew what was promised by the sender. He made clear he was excited to get it. And, even with ALL of that, he STILL didn't need to set up a meeting. But he did. Co - ordinating with a foreign source to affect a US election is<b> illegal. </font></b>It is also<b> illegal </font></b>for a Presidential campaign to accept anything of value from a foreign source. Opposition research is valuable information. Campaigns spend lots of money to obtain such research. Attempting to obtain valuable research is conspiracy to violate campaign laws... |

They are so trying to spin this. I accidentally wasted about 5 minutes listening to Kellyanne Conway trying her best to spin/lie about what happened, before I realized it was right before Junior released his email chain. Meh! I hope this is the beginning of the end. kk The observant make the best lovers, I may not do right, but I do write, I have bliss, joy, and happiness in my life, Kitkat Come check out my blog KItkat1415 check out this post by me Adventures In Body Grooming #39 April Topic Link: What Lies Beneath If April Showers Oh Bloody Hell What Kind Of Weather Turns Me On Bloggers Symposium 40
