Barf.

understatement, isn't it?

He tries to turn it into a mere "new to politics, nothing to see here" by saying she didn't give him anything. Like she's going to hand him a big paper bag and say "here's the dirt". The Trump crew is stupid, but the Russians aren't.

that on this date, 7/11/17, not ONE Republican stepped up to call out this criminal enterprise in the White House. NOT ONE.
Not. Senaotr, a Congressman, a Governor, a Mayor, and Assemblyman or a Dog Catcher. Not a member of SCOTUS, not a member of the Justice Department. not ONE!

But Trump won fair and square.

I wonder which one will be on the Sunday shows, probably both.

It appears that these emails are an admission to violating campaign finance laws

The significance of this extraordinary meeting, now confirmed by Donald Trump, Jr. lies in the reason why the campaign agreed to it. According to a statement from Donald Jr., there was on the campaign’s part an “expectation” that the Russians would have negative information to offer about Hillary Clinton. The result, so Trump Jr. now claims, was disappointing: “It quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information.” He now dismisses her claim to have had this material as mere “pretext” for the meeting. The President’s son is admitting that the campaign arranged the meeting solely to get this information.

Trump Jr. suggests that he did not know of the Russian connection: he did not know the identity of the individual offering the information, including the fact that she was a foreign national. And he would have it believed that when he invited Kushner and Manafort to join the meeting, he did not tell them, because he did not know, that the lawyer was a Russian–or who she was. And, apparently, when she came in and introduced herself, the Trump campaign team was still uninformed about her identity and did not ask about it. Suffice it to say that this is a strange account and investigators will probe it deeply. And if there is any truth to it, it is not clear how much it helps Trump Jr. and his colleagues: one explanation for their ignorance of whom they were dealing with is “willful blindness,” which is not helpful to their legal position.

Campaign Finance Law Implications

This new and remarkable information adds considerably to the potential criminal violation of the federal law that prohibits “substantial assistance” to foreign nationals seeking to influence a federal election. Now we have, as part of the public record, specific and private actions to establish intent to provide this assistance. Donald Trump can’t very well sustain his position that in calling for the Russians to find the missing email, he was merely joking. His campaign was furthering behind closed doors the objective that the candidate was “jokingly” professing. If confirmed and further developed in the Mueller investigation, these facts also bolster the campaign’s exposure to “aiding and abetting” liability for a campaign finance violation.

There are two additional grounds for that criminal liability: the campaign’s “coordination” with Russian foreign national sources, as a result of which it received an illegal contribution, and its “solicitation” of this illegal contribution, each of which independently violate the law.

If my Son was that fucking stupid I would have changed his name to Louie Gohmert.

"Disturbing"? "Problematic"? Jesus H. Christ! Having the vapors in this situation simply does not give expression the outrage that has been committed against our Republic, Ms. Lindsey. What an ass.
