The @DonaldJTrumpJr released emails as we were about to publish. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/11/us/politics/trump-russia-email-clinton.html?_r=0

From that NYT story:
After being told that The Times was about to publish the content of the emails, instead of responding to a request for comment, Donald Trump Jr. tweeted out images of them himself on Tuesday.
To everyone, in order to be totally transparent, I am releasing the entire email chain of my emails about the June 9 meeting, he wrote. I first wanted to just have a phone call but when that didnt work out, they said the woman would be in New York and asked if I would meet.
He added that nothing came of it.

Confirmed from an NYT source: "We were preparing to publish" story -- Don Jr. camp "asked for more time" to comment "and then pre-empted us"

If "nothing came of it" it's because Natalia Veselnitskaya played you like a fucking violin. You were too easy.
This guy is way, WAY out of his league.

And depriving a chance for Daddy to shout "FAKE NEWS FAILING NEW YORK TIMES" on Twitter.
