It IS a matter of credibility. It may not be against the law or policy, but we would condemn the same series of events if the Clintons or Barack the Pretender or Schumer, or any other of the leftist beasts did it.
HRC is getting away with far worse. She clearly “colluded” with Russia on other matters, and AFAIK sold state secrets for which she should be hung.
They did!!!!
Clinton sold a big chunk of Uranium production to the Russians. Russian sources put big bucks into the Clinton Slush Fundation. Russian source paid Bill Clinton 500 000 for a speech.Russia got a LOT of quo for its quids.
We wouldn't even know about it. All the times the DEMs and McCain undertake consultation with a foreigner to get dirt on an opponent, the dirt becomes the news. The times they go fishing and come back without anything, we never hear about.
Riddle me this: If Trump, Jr. had come back with documentation that showed Hillary perpetrated a pay-for-play in the release of US Uranium, would that amount to "campaign collusion with the Russians"?
The FBI ended up circulating a phony dossier about Trump to John McCain and the media and media used it to attack Trump.
Little Miss Goody TwoShoes weighs in. Put a sock in it, Wendy.
No we would not. It's called opposition research and every campaign does it.
They did and they do.
Next question
Well duh, they have been committing crimes, real crimes, all over the place for decades and nobody cares.
Are you just pretending ignorance?
Nonsense. First of all, the Hillary campaign did do such things in the course of trying to gather opposition research, and they did have contact with government assets of countries like the Ukraine.
And nobody has ever shown any propensity to be very picky about what the source of such research might be, foriegn government or otherwise.
It's "routine" politics, which is never very pretty, and what you're doing is apparently falling for the phony Media narrative that this is something out of the ordinary.
In any event, this is the President's son, not the President himself. Others on this board have been predicting that the Media would be going after more Trump family and associates. Why? Because they have nothing with which to go after the President himself.
The optics of this incident notwithstanding, this by itself is nothing which subjects the President to any legal liability, and the political liability will remain rather minimal, unless something much more serious comes to light.
So, once again, this particular incident is, at its core, a nothingburger which will accomplish nothing other than some minor embarrassment.
And, indeed, it might very well turnout that this was all a setup by the Deep State, Obama, and Democrats.
This is nothing more than a carefully timed leak which serves to prolong an ongoing smear campaign, underneath which nothing of substance will ever emerge. Because if there were any information that was seriously damaging to the President himself—not his family—we would have heard about it a long time ago.
This is simply another petty attempt to inflict whatever damage possible on Donald Trump, Jr., since these deep state pigs have nothing of substance to use against the President himself.
Any blind man with a cane can see this Deep State Swamp Stunt precisely for what it is, and as such, upon thoughtful review, I'm unimpressed...
Your rock awaits you - now crawl back under it. Since when would anyone condemn the obamas or clintons or do anything about the evil they have committed? Yeah, right - since never. Shut up and go away. This is a nothing burger.
Except that the Clinton campaign did work with Ukraine to hurt President Trump and nobody is talking about that. Shocking, isn’t it?
