Of course, this doesn't invalidate his story of what went on in the meeting. This doesn't prove collusion, but expect the liberals to say that this person in the meeting was surely plotting the hacking of DNC and Podesta emails with Don Jr.
sick of hearing this crap. It is all B/S pushed by the Dem party to deflect attention away from the crimes of the Clinton crime family, and obama/Jarrett.
I wonder if the media knows that in his lifetime, Trump met with many people of various nationalities other than Russian.
perfect set up by the rats and obama to get FISA warrants to spy on Trump Tower...
Kushners reporter..schindler. ..keeps saying US knew lawyer was a spy. Something caused her to be strip searched in uk airport.....and denied a visa
Still waiting for more on the purported video of her and alledged fsb agent. Someone leaked it
There was no collusion, but having this stuff come out in dribs and drabs just reinforces the perception that the Trumps are hiding something. And because of that this crap doesn't go away.
Response:
Alan Futerfas, the attorney retained by Donald Trump Jr., confirmed he has spoken to the individual.
"It’s very simple,” Futerfas said. "The person was described as a friend of Emin [Agalarov]’s and maybe as a friend of Natalia [Veselnitskaya]’s.”
Agalarov is a pop star and a client of Rob Goldstone, a music publicist who arranged the meeting with Trump Jr. Agalarov appeared in a music video with Trump when the Miss Universe pageant, which Trump owned at the time, was held in Moscow in 2013.
Futerfas said he has talked with that individual who came to the meeting with Veselnitskaya. "He is a U.S. citizen. He told me specifically he was not working for the Russian government, and in fact laughed when I asked him that question.”
Futerfas confirmed that, “for the purpose of security or otherwise, the names were reviewed” but said Trump Jr. knew nothing about the man's background at the time of the meeting.
When asked about whether he had concerns, knowing what he knows now, Futerfas responded: “I have absolutely no concerns about what was said in that meeting.”
The senate is trying to complete the fundamental change in government that Ds started with Obamacare - health insurance will be a right that federal government is committed to protecting with tax dollars and both parties will compete for who will “protect” that right best (e.g. spend more money).
Whether they think health insurance should be a right or not, that seems like a huge story. But the media is obsessed with a meeting where they agree nothing happened. I’d bet both McConnell and Schumer are happy that there isn’t much news about the senate health insurance plan - they both want this to pass without the people understanding what’s happening.
Contrast....Ivanka meets with elite women about subsidies for "entrepreneurs". Melania visits children with chronic diseases in hospitals. Jared and Ivanka spend vacations with elitists in Hampton and Aspen. Trump takes time to have rallies to have contact with his supporters.
Not related, exactly. But it does make one wonder about Kushner priorities and if Jared would do whatever it takes to save himself.
The lawyer doesn’t speak English, so the presence of a 5th person is not surprising. It still doesn’t change anything. No ‘dirt’ was solicited or delivered and there was no contact beyond this meeting.
Once again this fake stupid stuff comes out after a successful trip by Trump.
It is all blather that nobody cares about.
They say that, even though it would require Boris and Natasha to use the WABAC Machine. And everybody knows only Sherman knows how to run that.
Every single Republican should immediately ask that question of every person they speak with immediately at the beginning of every conversation.
“First, before I answer your question Mr. Stephanopolis, are you now or have you ever been an agent for the Russian government?”
Just repeat it again and again every single day until these idiots drop this nonsense.
Something has to give here. This idiocy has to stop. But how?
This sentence says more than a lot of people may realize.
I believe he would not have been able to secure U.S. citizenship without first attesting that he had never served as a Soviet intelligence officer. The mere fact that he holds U.S. citizenship should give anyone dealing with him the legal cover to assume that he is not a former Soviet intelligence officer.
Wow! Now there's a surprise! /S
Ask McStain about it!
I adopted a child from Russia .... she gets disturbed hearing all this stupid stuff on the news.
Where did they hold this meeting. Everyday more people are said to have been at it. They must have leased Madison Square Garden.
Since the FBI monitors this forum, I want to make a full disclosure: The First lady and I own shares of Gazprom.
There, I said it.
Come and get me G-man.

Why didn't he drop the dirt on Clinton? Oh. Right. Because the whole thing was a setup orchestrated by Baraq Ubama and Loretta Lynch.
