GOP Sen.: Trump Jr. Meeting Russian For Clinton Dirt Is A Great Big Nothing

Source: Talking Points Memo

By MATT SHUHAM Published JULY 10, 2017 1:47 PM
Nothing to see here.

That was the reaction Monday from Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MI) to news that Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner met in June 2016 with a Kremlin-linked Russian lawyer who promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton.

I do not think the American people are going to be horrified by this, and I agree with Donald Trump Jr., Wicker said in an interview with CNNs Wolf Blitzer. He was told that there was some information unfavorable to their general election opponent. He went to a meeting and it turns out there wasnt much there and instead the Russian attorney wanted to talk about the Magnitsky Act and Russian adoptions. It was a pretty quick meeting and he concluded that it didnt amount to much.

I just think thats pretty much of a great big nothing when it comes to whether there was some sort of collusion between Russia and general election campaign organizations, Wicker said.

Hey Wicker, Fuck You, I mean really Fuck you are a disgrace, to the office to uphold the Constitution

If there was someone else in that seat of power and not a republican in this present moment, your cronies, the fucking republican supporting authoritarians, that put party over country and the now with your remarks over the Constitution, would have already had impeachment hearings, and people would be in fucking jail, for TREASON.

And a lot of people think that this is a big fucking deal, every time one of these little fascists speak, you never know whats going to come out of there mouth, but one thing is for sure, they fucking LIE,

So Fuck You and your double standard

U.S. Senator Named Roger Wicker from Michigan i.e. (MI). He is from Mississippi which uses (MS). Talking Points Memo need to LEARN their State Abbreviations.

The U.S. Senators from Michigan (MI) are Democrats Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters.

But their copy editing is beyond sloppy. There are constant grammatical errors, conflicts of tense and other sloppiness.

However, their reporting is first-rate and Josh Marshall's commentaries are insightful.

I just wish they would proofread before posting their articles.

It doesn't matter that it didn't give them the desired dirt they were searching for, it was the intent. And if it wasn't such a sketchy meeting why did they all lie about it? its was collusion and it is a treasonous act- They should each go to jail for it!

The Deplorables would be hanging her in effigy, and demanding her public execution.
