Ok, so where is your dog in the fight ?? Are you just an agitating troll ?.

I am an American citizen who is sick of seeing partisan politics put before the health and welfare of this country.

You gotta fit in a pigeon hole. If you don't, they'll push you in one, anyway.

Trump lawyers knew of Russia emails back in June

President Trump’s legal team was informed more than three weeks ago about the email chain showing that his son Donald Jr. met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer last June, two sources familiar with the handling of the matter told Yahoo News.

Trump told Reuters in an interview on Wednesday that he learned just “a couple of days ago” that his son, Donald Trump Jr, had met with the Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, after receiving emails that she would supply him with information that “would incriminate Hillary” and was “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.” That was the day after Donald Jr. released the email exchanges himself, after learning they would be published by the New York Times.

Trump repeated that assertion in a talk with reporters Air Force One on his way to Paris Wednesday night. “I only heard about it two or three days ago,” he said according to a transcript of his talk when asked about the meeting with Veselnitskaya at Trump Tower in June 2016 attended by Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort, then Trump’s campaign chief, and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.

But the sources told Yahoo News that Marc Kasowitz, the president’s chief lawyer in the Russia investigation, and Alan Garten, executive vice president and chief legal officer of the Trump Organization, were both informed about the emails in the third week of June, after they were discovered by lawyers for Kushner, who is now a senior White House official.

Scratch a republican and it bleeds lies

I still want to know who "leaked" the emails to the Times. They didn't have an actual copy, but they had been informed of the content. Was it someone in the lawyer's office that whispered to the Times? Just nosy. Not important.

Go to 7:10 in the video below. This is just a couple hours after Junior accepted the meeting with the Russian cutout. Trump couldn't wait to tell the world he was about to drop a bombshell about Clinton. He departs from his prepared teleprompter speech at 7:10 to talk about it.

His son clearly told him he was about to get some dirt on Clinton from the Russian government.

Yet the speech the following Monday was on terrorism, not the *****.


.

That's only because the lawyer had nothing on Clinton. But Jeff Sessions recently settled that money laundering case with her, you know, the one Loretta Lynch wouldn't settled.

I posted the details of the settlement, settling saved a butt load of government money. But hey, let's not let little things like facts get in the way of good propaganda, RIGHT?


.

Saved a boatload of money??? This was the Magnitsky Case. The government was suing for over $200 million and settled for $6 million 2 days before the trial was to begin. How exactly is that saving the government a boatload of money given that the case had already been before the courts for 2 years?

It is also to be noted that there was no admission of guilt and that the Russian lawyer was surprised at the generosity of the settlement.

Oh yeah, and the prosecuting DA is the same NY DA that Trump fired after Trump asked him to stay on.

The whole story gets smellier by the minute.

Nothing illegal and nothing treasonous. THE HORSE IS ******* DEAD. Give it a break left wing loons.

No, dear little Russian comrade, that horse is just out the starting gate, and the treasonous fat senile old orange clown is sweating bullets.

. Ohhh give it a rest already. You radicals have come to your end, and it was all y'all's fault, not Trump's. You are the ones standing up for the most radical agenda's this nation has ever known, and yet you people are using Trump as a smoke screen now. The people have spoken, and they didn't have Demon-crats in their thinking when they spoke. They had change in their thinking, and it wasn't a change towards more radical bullcrap, but it will be a change back to a peaceful America.

I know what case it was. The guy the govt was suing allegedly had about a 2 million gain from the fraud, he paid 3 times that and 10 times the money he allegedly brought into US jurisdiction. Not having a long drawn out trial saved the govt a few more million. I'd say the settlement was equitable.

Trump Changes Tune On Russian Lawyer Meeting: 'Maybe It Was Mentioned'
Source: Talking Points Memo

By MATT SHUHAM Published JULY 13, 2017 4:53 PM

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he may have previously heard about his son and top campaign staff meeting with a Russian lawyer in June 2016, a stunning contradiction of his earlier statements on the matter.

QuoteEmails released Tuesday by Donald Trump Jr., ahead of a New York Times story on the same messages, show the President’s son responding enthusiastically to the promise of dirt on Hillary Clinton provided as part of a Russian government effort to aide his father’s campaign.
On Wednesday afternoon, Trump told Reuters that “No. That I didn’t know. Until a couple of days ago, when I heard about this. No I didn’t know about that,” referring to the meeting between Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya and Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort.

Trump changed his tune later in the day, when he told reporters on Air Force One: “In fact maybe it was mentioned at some point,” referring to the meeting. (Reporters on the plane initially thought the conversation was off-the-record, but the President said otherwise on Thursday.) Asked whether he had been told the meeting was about Hillary Clinton and dirt against her, Trump said no, according to a White House pool report. On Thursday, Trump called the meeting “very standard.”

wow, this guys quite the liar!

You people act like Trump Jr. was selling uranium to the Russians for personal profit.

OK, cocksuck, tell us precisely how many pounds of the uranium from the US mines has gone out of the US? Are you going to tell the truth or will you go the "Conservative" route and lie?

Did I ever claim pounds of it was exported? The point is the Russians OWN it. Which means they now make profit when it is sold to the US, or they can choose to withhold it. They control the uranium and could easily smuggle it out if they want.

What a dumb **** you prove yourself to be. If the Russian company should choose to withhold the uranium against the interests of this nation, I am sure that we would simply go in and take it.

Could be the Russians. Kind of a warning shot to the treasonous fat senile old orange clown, toe the line, or else.

Nice attempt st deflection but you've got the wrong case. This was a massive money laundering scheme, not a fraud, and the amount the was $230 million that the government was seeking. It was the Magitsky Case, not some low level fraud.

Looks like Donnie cut them a UGE deal.

Kim said: “We will not allow the U.S. financial system to be used to launder the proceeds of crimes committed anywhere – here in the U.S., in Russia, or anywhere else. Under the terms of this settlement, the defendants have agreed to pay not just what we alleged flowed to them from the Russian treasury fraud, but three times that amount, and roughly 10 times the money we alleged could be traced directly into U.S. accounts and real estate.”

"We know what Thieu is saying to them out there. We're pretty well informed at both ends." [Johnson believed "the boss in New Mexico" was Nixon's running mate, Spiro Agnew, who was there on a campaign trip.]

Johnson then injected a thinly veiled threat to go public. "I don't want to get this in the campaign," Johnson said, adding: "They oughtn't be doing this. This is treason."

Dirksen responded, "I know."

WHOA! Settled in May, presumably before anyone knew about the meeting between Ms. V. and the Trump campaign. Interesting Trump asked for the prosecuting attorney's resignation, too, a few months ago with no seeming reason, since Trump had made a big deal about keeping him on during the transition.

Manhattan real estate deals used for money laundering? And Trump and his DOJ now closing the case for beans? This does indeed actually smell quite bad. We should be hearing more on this in the news.

Donald Trump Junior did not disclose that this man was present at his Russia Meeting...Jr met with a KNOWN RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE OPERATIVE
U.S. officials probing Russian lobbyist who met Trump team

Although Trump Jr. has acknowledged meeting Veselnitskaya, he did not disclose the attendance of Akhmetshin, a well-known figure in the capital’s murky world of foreign influence peddling. The lobbyist’s role raises new red flags for U.S. officials as they study whether and how the Kremlin might have sought to exert influence over the 2016 Trump campaign.


One U.S. official referred to Akhmetshin as a known “IO,” or intelligence operative. In a March letter to the Justice Department, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) described him as having “ties to Russian intelligence” and “alleged to have conducted political disinformation campaigns.”
