Russian Dirt on Clinton? I Love It Donald Trump Jr. Said

Source: NY Times

The June 3, 2016, email sent to Donald Trump Jr. could hardly have been more explicit: One of his father’s former Russian business partners had been contacted by a senior Russian government official and was offering to provide the Trump campaign with dirt on Hillary Clinton.

If the future president’s elder son was surprised or disturbed by the provenance of the promised material — or the notion that it was part of an ongoing effort by the Russian government to aid his father’s campaign — he gave no indication.

He replied within minutes: “If it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer.”

is even more stupid than they are corrupt. They don't make any effort to cover their tracks. Their incompetence is terrifying.

Yeah, it is terrifying, especially when you factor in the loyal audience.

are only in the movies and on TV shows. Corrupt people in real life are reckless and clueless. It is like they are asking to get caught.

DON JR 007 IN PRISON SCENE

Tatiana aka Don Jr: I think my mouth is too big.

James Bond aka Putin Puppets: I think it's a very lovely mouth. It's just the right size - for me anyway!

...the stories are sourced to admin officials, and it is hard to believe that Brannon would use the Times.
