Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostFirst of all, she wasn't a "Kremlin-linked lawyer"; secondly, there was no indication that the promised information had been acquired illegally, and it turned out she didn't have any information anyway; third, there was no talk in the meeting about Russia supporting the Trump campaign, financially or otherwise. This is is what the evidence shows and is highly significant because liberals have been insisting for months that this meeting was the smoking gun that would finally put Trump away for good. But, like always, it turns out to be much ado about nothing.

Originally posted by Tassmoron View PostTrump team met with lawyer linked to Kremlin during campaign and Donald Trump Jr. was promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton before the meeting. Whether or not this eventuated is beside the point. He was nevertheless prepared to accept support from Russia. No doubt the Mueller enquiry will tell us more in due course.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/08/u...t.html?mcubz=3
Which is to say that Veselnitskaya was far from being a top-level insider rubbing shoulders with Putin like the Times article deceptively implies.
And accepting damaging information about an opponent? That's not illegal, provided the information wasn't illegally obtained. The law only forbids financial donations, which is why NBC News recently made a big deal about the word "donations" supposedly appearing in Manafort's meeting notes only to hastily retract the story a few hours later after realizing they had gotten burned by one of their "anonymous" sources.
But seriously, kiddo, if you're so hot and bothered about a US candidate accepting damaging information from a foreign source then when are you going to condemn Hillary for doing exactly that when she colluded with the Ukrainian government and actually used the information against Trump's campaign?
Come on, Tassmoron, when are you going to call for Hillary's proverbial head on a platter?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostReally, you should know better than to the trust The New York Times.
[cite=NBC News]The Russian lawyer who met with Donald Trump Jr. during the presidential campaign denied in an exclusive interview with NBC News that she had any connection to the Kremlin...
More to the point, It was Ms. Veselnitskayas desire to get the United States to reverse the Magnitsky Act that prompted her to seek a meeting with the Trump campaign, she said Saturday in written responses to questions from The New York Times.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/11/w...r.html?mcubz=3
The Magnitsky Act is personally costing Putin, and many other Russian oligarchs billions of dollars frozen in accounts all around the world. Its not beyond belief that Putin, via Veselnitskaya, would offer Trump Jr. some dirt on Hillary and assist the campaign in exchange for the abolition of the Magnitsky Act when Trump Sr. attained power. .He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it. - Douglas Adams.

Originally posted by Sparko View Postif they had enough evidence they would charge him. No need to continue the investigation other than to add more charges.
But you do make a good point: Since liberals are so hot and bothered about impeaching Trump as soon as possible, and since all they need is one solid piece of evidence linking him to a crime to remove him from office, then why haven't they acted already if the evidence against him is as damning as Dimbulb claims?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

The New York Times has long been regarded within the industry as a national "newspaper of record" - Encyclopedia Britannica. This as opposed to your biased rag of choice, namely the Alt-Right 'Breitbart'.He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it. - Douglas Adams.
