Con artist progeny "forgot" meeting with Russians

[petes478]

It is well known the con artist has a penchant for lying. No subject, particularly one about himself, is left untarnished by outright and deliberate lies designed to make it appear the con artist is above reproach.

This genetic propensity seems to have filtered down to the next generation. It has now been revealed the con artist's son and at that time presidential campaign manager Paul Manafort, met with a Russian attorney with direct ties to the Kremlin in the fall of 2016 at the con artist's headquarters in New York, and did not report this meeting as required for his security clearance.

Ostensibly the meeting was about the adoption of Russian children. Specifically the Magnitsky Act. The Act is named after Sergei L. Magnitsky, a lawyer and auditor who died in mysterious circumstances in a Russian prison in 2009 after exposing one of the biggest corruption scandals during Mr. Putin’s rule.

Under the Act, the U.S. has a list of Russians for whom they are allowed to seize their American assets and deny them visas. The United States asserts that many of them are connected to fraud exposed by Mr. Magnitsky. Russian human rights panel found that he had been assaulted. To critics of Mr. Putin, Mr. Magnitsky, in death, became a symbol of corruption and brutality in the Russian state.

This undisclosed meeting raises several questions: why was this meeting held at the con artist's headquarters if, as the con artist's son has said, “I was asked to attend the meeting by an acquaintance, but was not told the name of the person I would be meeting with beforehand.”? Who was this "acquaintance" and why did they have access to the con artist's headquarters for this meeting?

Why was Paul Manafort, then the con artist's campaign manager, even involved with this meeting if it was about adopting Russian children?

How is it possible for both the con artist's son and Manafort to both forget they met with Russians when asked, especially since the schedules of these people are laid out well in advance? Why did it take the con artist's son-in-law revelation of this meeting in his security clearance paperwork, which he also failed to disclose meetings with Russians, for these two to come clean about the meeting?

I agree with you. Trump and his family and entourage are scum sucking lying criminal sacks of sh*t!!! Trump can't be impeached soon enough.

Impeach trump the criminal!!!

Scum. Trump His family. His entourage. Stabbing America in It's spine.

Trump junior met with a Russian lawyer after his dad won the republican nomination not to discuss Americans adopting Russian babies, but rather to discuss repealing the Serge Magnitsky Act and to receive negative degrading information on Hilary Clinton. Lied Saturday July 8 2017 and lied on his disclosure to the US Government. Why all the trump people feel they have to lie to the US Government about their meetings with Russians? Because they know it's illegal. Called "consciousness of guilt".

The Magnitsky Act, formally known as the Russia and Moldova Jackson-Vanik Repeal and Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act of 2012, is a bipartisan bill passed by the U.S. Congress and President Obama in November–December 2012, intending to punish Russian officials responsible for the death of Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky in a Moscow prison in 2009.

Repealing the Magnitsky Rule only benefits Putin and his favored group of Oligarchs raping their own country (why do you think their gross national product is the size of Italy?) and the Magnitsky Act prohibits these thugs murderers rapists from owning luxury Jones in the USA. Trump sells luxury homes to many of Putin's cronies shills lackeys. But not the ones prohibited by this act.

Putin has killed more journalists than any other leader has killed. Most Americans know the value and heritage of the free press in the USA and around the work. To comfort the afflicted, and to afflict the comfortable. Trump sold his soul to a thug and a murderer. Trump prostitutes his own family friends and business associates. By the time Justice had been served trump will be singing his cell mate's praises and destitute after enriching many lawyers, only to lose lose lose and be impeached and jailed. Impeach trump!!!!

What did trump jr learn between Saturday July 8 2017 and Sunday July 9 2017 that caused him to change his story? And why did he initially lie on his standard firm 286 disclosure to the US Government in March 2017? Trump jr had Jared Kushner and Paul Manafart with him. Trump would not have sent these high level people to meet with a Russian lawyers about adopting Russian babies. He would dispatch them to meet in repealing the Magnitsky Rule. And it architect a swap. Cash for rule change? Trade and barter for rule change? Putin has no cash except the billions he and his lackeys stole from the Russian economy. Why did trump junior lie in March, 2017, again on Saturday July 8, 2017, and then a 180 degree turn on a dime change his story from Saturday July 8 to Sunday July 9, 2017? Hmmm?
Impeach the whole lot of them. Impeach Donald j trump, criminal president and sneerer in chief!!!

https://www.google.com/amp/deadline...-donald-trump-viral-g20-video-1202125801/amp/

Richard Painter, Ethics Expert and former Ethics Advisor to George W Bush, and noted intelligence analyst and former CIA station chief Bob Baer both say this is very close to treason. And if any FBI or CIA agent did this they would lose their security clearance same day and be up on charges for treason. Treason!!!

Chloe is it your position that you hate democrats and liberalism so much that you don't care if Trump colluded with Russia?

Not hate. I never hate. Such a negative emotion. Hating is like a vampire sucking the energy from your soul. I far prefer radiating happiness and humour. Laughter is by far my preference, which is why my sense of humour is so hmmmm. Questionable?

I see most Democrat positions as being antithetical to the advancement of our society in a positive manner. I see RINOs in much the same light but the lesser evil.

Russia? Don't believe a word of it. You're listening to too much fake news, it's that liberal bubble again. Honestly at this stage, it's Trump makes a go of turning things around or it's a disaster for the US. Obama was a classic Manchurian candidate, swept in on a wave of optimism and lies, who spent 8 years screwing things up. A terrible mistake, as are many of the policies and practices he put in place.

All this left wing hate and animosity just makes things worse. You lost. Your going to lose next time too. Your insanity and hate have gone too far and the sheep are now looking up and Trump is the result. Live with it. And be aware that we're learning from you. As we are starting to see, the activism can go both ways and some of us enjoy putting those Alinsky style tactics to good use on the side of light.

I am able to determine truth regardless of the propaganda coming from opposite sides. I accept that the extremes of both sides are full of shit. I listen to both sides, seek out information and use my critical thinking skills to determine what I believe to be truth. Based upon what you've posted, you seem to have determined what you believe to be true and now seek out information which supports your conclusion.

You stated above that there is no truth to the allegations of collusion. If that is true, why does Trump and the Trumpcult not invite an investigation? Vindication would be a giant spike in the heart of those on the left who you don't hate.

Uday's in trouble, uh oh

I wonder if anyone maybe Bannon is ever going to sit the Orange Baboon down and say STOP TRASHING AMERICAN INTEL

I direct you to my Poland thread. EVERYTIME that idiot tries to discredit the CIA something gets leaked in a very strategic manner against him

My personal opinion is that they have TONS of dirt they're hanging onto. They're not going to let this happen without knowing there's more, and worse, to get out.

Team Deep State!


eta: hmmmmm

Some are speculating this was actually orchestrated by Trump people because they knew it was going to come out, and they're desperate to protect Kushner, who lied about this meeting on his security form. Hang Don Jr. out to dry and take the focus off Jared.

 

[Adre]

Raise your hand if you ('re dumb enough to) believe Daddy knew nothing about the meeting in advance.

 

[just4friends]

This does not save Jared!
He's toast! He got the email. He went to the meeting
Both of them had other meetings with Russians afterwards
Bannon essentially now admits he is a foreign agent. He took how many millions for his services?
At the very least they owe a lot of people apologies for all the denials about what Russians want
Why do so many defend... Russia??

Find this email on Kushner and Bannon's computers! Did they forward up to Daddy T? Why would Donny Jr not brag to Poppa. Separately forwarded?

We're not living with it, you are.

[someoneyouknow]

In June of 2016 the con artist's progeny secretly met with a Russian agent who was offering "inside information" on Hillary Clinton.

In July of 2016 the con artist came out and publicly asked Russia to provide information on Hillary Clinton.

Just putting it out there. . .

 

[sr71plt]

It's quite interesting how real claimed "Fake News" can be.

I understand that White House staffers are lawyering up in droves, and VP Pence's latest statement draws a line between what he was involved in after he was nominated from before. I guess the next move is for some congressional Republicans to start lawyering up too. And then maybe some of the Trump shills who post to this board to either get lawyers or shop around for some other country to go to where it will be fine to put their partisan politics ahead of the nation, common sense, and intellectual honesty.

Stephen Colbert did an excellent job of articulating how incredibly unfathomable Jrs statement is.

Idiot and Idiot, Jr. have both been on a right old tantrum with the Fake News Media the past two weeks, which includes the NY Times I might add.

What do they have to say when Donald Trump Jr. HISSELF validates the NY Times investigative reporting?????? No, no, here are the emails you've been reporting on. Here they are.

Um, it's not "FAKE"

If it's "Fake" then DISPROVE it, right?

Exactly

They're trying to figure out how to spin this damning evidence to make it seem like it's no big deal. Which of course it would be if this were Hillary. But not for the con artist. Here's how some of the tabloids are covering the story:

"I mean I don't take this as a smoking gun at all. This is silly," he wrote. - Matthew Boyle, Breitbart's Washington editor.

Fox began to cover the revelations more aggressively. . . . And as it covered the emails it also weaved in stories more palatable to its base, such as questions over whether former FBI Director James Comey mishandled classified information when he provided a memo detailing his recollections of a meeting with the president to a friend for the purpose of leaking to the media.

On his radio show, Fox News host Sean Hannity . . . hinted at how he would cover the news on his television program. Hannity, who is perhaps Trump's most loyal soldier on cable news, attacked what he called the media's "breathless" coverage of the latest revelations surrounding Donald Trump Jr. and suggested they didn't support the theory that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians during the 2016 presidential election.

Alex Jones, the InfoWars founder who frequently peddles conspiracy theories and has been praised by Trump, conceived perhaps the oddest way to explain away the news to his audience. He told his listeners that Donald Trump Jr. was "doing his job" by "trying to find Russian spies."

Asked how he could say the emails released by Donald Trump Jr. proved the Times' stories were "fabricated" when they actually backed the newspaper's reporting, Cernovich told CNN he was "pushing back against the broader narrative" that the emails proved collusion.

"This doesn't prove collusion," Cernovich insisted. "All it proves is that there was a meeting set up."

And the denials and deflections go on. . . Thus showing who the real fake "news" media are. To not cover this unprecedented collusion between a presidential candidate and a foreign government intent on thwarting democratic elections, to say this is no big deal because it's their candidate, to dismiss the evidence before their eyes is nothing less an overt admission they do not report "news", but make it up to fit their agenda. Facts be damned.

Will Hannity tell them Donnie Junior didn't write the e-mails that Donnie admitted he wrote and provided himself (because the NYT was about to release them). Or are they going to say that Donnie Junior made them up to provide the NYT with fake news?

Trying to finish my Nude Day competition story, got no idea coz I haven't read the news and Breitbart hasn't had a chance to percolate thru the fog of caffeine yet. Sorry, give ma another day or two to recover and find out what the correct party line is. Gotta check my toes as well, make sure I can toe the line.

But honestly, who cares. Did SEALs or an ambassador die? Did we send a few hundred million to some Islamic nucleases? Sell guns to drug cartels? Let in a few million illegals? Give tons of uranium to Russia? Run State on a private server? Nope. Some dude had a meeting with a Russian lawyer. Probably a democrat sting. Who cares? Not me. Not anyone who supports Trump. Big deal.

‘Pathetic’: Fox’s Krauthammer shreds conservatives for pretending Trump Jr wasn’t colluding with Russians

Charles Krauthammer appeared Tuesday on “The Story” with Martha MacCallum and blasted President Donald Trump’s namesake child for his meeting with Kremlin-linked Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.

“If you get a call to go to a certain place in the middle of the night to pick up stolen goods, and it turns out stolen goods don’t show up but the cops show up, I think you’re going to have a weak story saying, ‘well, I got swindled here,'” Krauthammer explained.

“The denial of collusion is very weak right now because it looks as if Don Junior was receptive to receiving this information,” Krauthammer explained. “It’s a hell of a defense to say your collusion wasn’t competent and it didn’t work out.”

“Come on, that is pathetic,” Krauthamer said of those making excuses for Trump, Jr.

There you go CT. Even the right wingnuts think he's nuts.

“It’s time to end the garbage’: CNN’s Lemon opens show with brutal attack on Trump lies over Russian involvement

“Not convinced?” Lemon asked, explaining the relationship between Trump Jr. and the man who set up the meeting, Rob Goldstone, Goldstone’s client, Russian pop star Emin Agalarov, and Russian president Vladimir Putin.

“It doesn’t get any plainer than that,” Lemon said. “Or does it?” he asked, noting that the email sent from Goldstone to Trump Jr. details “very high-level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”

Lemon then played a clip of Trump Jr.’s interview with Sean Hannity, where the president’s eldest son insisted he did not tell his father about the meeting—one attended by Trump Jr., former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.

“Let me ask everybody at home this,” Lemon continued. “Why should you, why should any of us, believe that? This interview is like, I think his fifth attempt to defend the indefensible.”

I'm shocked, you hear, shocked!--
