Donald Trump Jr. gathered members of campaign for meeting with Russian lawyer before election

a reply to: windword

Rod Goldstone was joking. He never went to Trump and Trump never got any dirt on Hillary. Unless he did and did not use it in the 2016 election but will use it in the 2020 election when he runs against Hillary again.

Goldstone was at Trump Tower to introduce Vasknitsaya to DT JR, Manafort and Kushner. Reportedly, he didn't stay for the meeting. Maybe he went to visit Donald Sr during that 30 minute meeting?

Or he was reporting back to FusionGPS that the meeting was occurring.

That is the question ... who is investigating Goldstone and his associations?

a reply to: windword

If he did that it would have been tracked by American private investigators hired by DNC and appeared in the MSM. So that did not happen.

All I have seen is Mueller stating they are looking into Trump jr's email contact for this incident. The claims of a witch hunt are becoming more and more credible, especially since the investigation appears to be one sided only.

Assange put out a tweet stating his sources are telling him the DOJ is going to reopen the Clinton investigation at some point next week.

fingers crossed.

Another non event that will eventually do more damage to the DNC, and anyone else stupid enough to push it.

nevermind, I need coffee. American politics is fun

Trump jr. released the entire email chains which show the Democrat operative setting the meeting up

Rob Goldstone is a Democratic operative? Weird.

Fusion GPS is a company that has clients, emphasis on plural. The clients aren't picked by whether their interests are aligned with their existing clients or not; it's based on money. The operatives hired by Fusion GPS are probably hired for perceived ability to find dirt, not on what their personal ideologies may be.

I would imagine that the reason that we have these emails in the first place is because Goldstone and Veselnitskaya were under FISA warrants. If the NSA, or whoever, has those emails they probably have others too.

Fusion GPS caters primarily to Democrats for opposition research. It was founded by 2 former wall street journal reporters.

Fusion gps is refusing to cooperate with Congress's investigation.

Democrats intentionally used disinformation from Russia to attack Trump, campaign aides

Johnathan Turley just dubbed Trump Jr, Kushner and Manaforte as "click bait chumps". Saying any thinking person would not agree to this meeting.

That would be rude of them. In the business world, if you are rude, you are not popular, and you lose business.

The real question is, why did Rod Goldstone say the Russian government was trying to elect Trump? He has no info in the Russian government. How can he make this claim in his email to Trump Jr? Is she a DNC spy?

a reply to: allsee4eye

This wasn't business - it was a campaign.

a reply to: kosmicjack

Trump Jr was not part of the Trump campaign.

Yes she was working for / with the Democrats / DNC / Clinton camp. Her links to Obama have confirmed that.

Yes. A love of money and lust for power can have that effect. And gullibility can do that to the rest of us.

Yes. Some people do not understand that American govt should not become a business, especially a family business.

Family business? Like say having Bill as President, Clinton as a Senator, Secretary of State and a presidential nominee 2 elections in a row with a possible 3rd on the horizon all the while Chelsea enters the political realm? Or having the Bush dynasty still in place? All the while the Clintons use their positions while in government to enrich themselves and their foundations.

Running it like a business can cut through the political crap and help streamline government.

A criminal lawyer's take is that the important Russian agent is Emin Agalarov. Emin is the direct link between Putin and the Trump family.
