Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) said that there is not a person in Washington who would have turned down a meeting with someone offering dirt on Hillary Clinton.
Theres not a person in this town who would not take a meeting to get material like that, Rohrabacher said in an off-the-cuff conversation with Mother Jones reporter David Corn, who published a story about the interaction.
Rohrabacher made the remark in response to a question about reports that President Trump's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen was prepared to say that Trump knew of and approved a meeting at Trump Tower during the 2016 presidential race with a Russian lawyer promising negative information on Clinton, the Democratic nominee.
Trump has repeatedly said he had no knowledge of the meeting, which was attended by Donald Trump Jr. and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, among others.
"It's a big zero" Rohrabacher said of he meeting, according to Corn, before making the comment that anyone would have taken it.
Rohrabacher also pushed back on separate reports that he dined with Maria Butina, the Russian woman who is accused of acting as an unregistered foreign agent in the U.S.
She was at the other end of table of 30 people and now they say I dined with her, he said, dismissing the charges against Butina as fake news.
The charges are B.S., he said. She was just a gofer.

(17,984 posts)I already knew he was an asshole. Now I know he (and evidently every single rethug) is a lying, cheating, conniving, duplicitous anal dwelling butt monkey who would sell out his country at the drop of a hat.
To a rethug integrity is anathema.
