Donald Trump Jr. on Monday downplayed a blockbuster New York Times report that he met with a Russian lawyer who promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign.

On Saturday, Trump told the Times he had primarily discussed the adoption of Russian orphans by Americans when he — along with Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort, at his invitation — met with Natalia Veselnitskaya, a Russian lawyer with close ties to the Kremlin, in June 2016.

Trump’s story changed on Sunday, after the Times cited three unnamed advisers to the White House briefed on the meeting, “and two others with knowledge of it,” who claimed Trump had been promised damaging information on Clinton before attending the meeting.

Veselnitskaya’s claims at the meeting were “vague, ambiguous and made no sense,” Trump said, reflecting on the promised Clinton dirt in a statement to the Times Sunday. He added separately that “the claims of potentially helpful information were a pretext for the meeting.”

4. Wonder why Don Jr's lawyer does not tell him to shut up???

[Lindsay]

7. I wonder if he's using daddy's lawyers,

who won't hesitate to throw anybody but their #1 client under any number of buses.

11. As they say, when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

[Cicada]

2. Each small stroke adds to the scene painted

Impressionist paintings use many tiny strokes to create a big picture. So too each News report linking Trump with Russia helps create the overall big picture of Trump the Traitor.

3. All were High level TeamTrump people at this meeting. Had to important for them to 'listen', even

if, as they claim now, it turned out to be a nothingberger

[George II]

12. All three were working for the campaign, Manafort was chairman at the time, and...

...all three met with representatives of a foreign government.

Collusion.

5. To all involved and residing in this criminal gang, TREASON is still TREASON

and I think everyone one of you slime balls need to go in front of a grand jury to either

1. Lie
2. Continue your lie

3. Admit that your an agent for a foreign power and should be charged under the Logan Act, and also be charged under the Constitution
Articles 2 , Section 4, and my favorite Article 3 Section 3.

Here let me show you what the last article there donnie boy jr, sister, council (aids past and present) to the sexual predator and to the other son and to the main asshole the sexual predator just for your fucking enjoyment


U.S. Constitution - Article 3 Section 3

Article 3 - The Judicial Branch
Section 3 - Treason

"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted."

In other words your fucked..........................and you might as well do either one of the below emoji's or all of them

about damaging info during a campaign.

Ok, smart guy, but you failed to divulge the meeting, and neither did Kushner nor Manafort divulge it during their security clearance process — also that the meeting was with a Putin-connected Russian — election law violations run amok there.

Time to cut out the smart remarks and lawyer up because your lying, non-disclosure has caught up with you and the fake trump administration.

10. These people

Have a world view that they bully through anything and act like anyone who doesn't agree is just an idiot, and they are used to it working. This is distracting people from what happened.

He said he never met.

He then said they met but only talked about adoptions.

Now he says they met because they were promised info on Clinton but the info was no good.

So to me, huge deal. Either he is lying about info not good or telling truth, either way he was going to Russians for info. That's the point . But he is down playing g it as no big deal and this will be repeated on fox ET Al. and bought by many.

[NastyRiffraff]

14. Add to that:

He said he was invited by an unknown anonymous person and to meet another unknown person.

It's called "doling out the truth" (with the exception of the stupid adoptions claim), hoping that people like---um---Mueller will be satisfied.

8. Send Donny Jr. to Africa and let him show off his elephant tail to this Bull Elephant.

9. Keep babbling, you douchey walking talking bottle of Axe Spray. nt

[Cosmocat]

13. Jr is rivaling Carter Page

as the biggest babbling moron involved in this (outside of 45).

[Sunlei]

15. They hid the treasonous meeting. The son couldn't even take the planned WH position anymore..

[keithbvadu2]

16. 'Had To Listen' equals 'had to lie about Russian meetings'

[KRISITNA]

17. Donny Jr "I had to listen is the equivelant of there were presents under the tree and I had to peek!

I know this to be wrong but I could not help myself!
Jail them all!

[sinkingfeeling]

18. Might be the first to do so with a sworn enemy of the USA.

[chowder66]

19. They why didn't he or the others report it to the FBI and instead hide it? nt
