Giuliani says Trump Tower meeting was to get Clinton dirt

What we know about the 2016 Trump Tower meeting
.........................................
Giuliani suggested the Trump campaign officials in attendance at the Trump Tower meeting might not have known that the meeting was with Russians or that the lawyer in attendance, Veselnitskaya, was a Russian with ties to the Kremlin.
"I don't even know if they knew (Veselnitskaya) was Russian at the time. All they had was her name. ... They knew it when they met with her, not when they set up the meeting," Giuliani said. "All they knew was that a woman with a Russian name wanted to meet with them. They didn't know she was a representative of the Russian government, and indeed she's not a representative of the Russian government."
However, in an email to Trump Jr., British music publicist Rob Goldstone, attempting to facilitate the meeting, wrote that "the Crown prosecutor of Russia met with Aras" Agalarov, a Moscow-based billionaire developer who partnered with Trump to bring the Miss Universe pageant to Moscow in 2013, "this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father."
"This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump -- helped along by Aras and Emin," Goldstone continued, mentioning Aras' son, Russian pop star Emin Agalarov, who he said had relayed the information.
20 times Trump and his allies denied he knew of the 2016 Trump Tower meeting
Trump Jr. acknowledged the email, writing back in part, "If it's what you say I love it."
In subsequent emails to schedule the meeting, Trump Jr. emailed Manafort and Kushner, among others, with the subject line, "Russia - Clinton - private and confidential."

(901 posts)3. they were warned that Russia was trying to interfere and to report any contact with the FBI.
They took that meeting knowing it was wrong. That's why the cover-up.
