Turns out Donald Trump was right when he said he could "shoot somebody and wouldn't lose voters." That was made clear to me after revelations that showed, at a minimum, Donald Trump Jr. was game to collude with the Russians. Whether he did so remains a subject of conjecture, but to any rational observer, this week was the most troublesome since the Russian meddling issue first came to light. Who could have imagined there would actually be an email to someone named Trump offering "very high level and sensitive information" able to "incriminate Hillary" as part of "Russia and its government's support" of Trump over Hillary?
But not even these revelations will impact his standing with his base.
A succession of stories in the New York Times brought these new developments to light. The first reported that Donald Jr. "arranged a meeting at Trump Tower in Manhattan with a Russian lawyer who has connections to the Kremlin." Trump Jr.'s explanation was that the meeting focused on adoption. One day later, the story was more ominous. Turns out that in advance of the meeting, Donald Jr. was "promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton." By Monday, worse still. Not only was the meeting with a Russian national who'd promised dirt on Clinton, but prior to the meeting, Trump Jr. was "informed in an email that the material was part of a Russian government effort to aid his father's candidacy."
That morning, I sat behind my microphone for SiriusXM's POTUS channel and spent about 20 minutes not only summarizing the Times coverage, but also providing balance with reference to a New York Post piece by Michael Walsh that said it was all a "nothing-burger." Once concluded with my monologue, I spied my caller screen....

RussiaRussiaRussia is a smoke bomb to distract from who killed Seth Rich for leaking the DNC e-mails.
Can’t post here my words for Michael Jerkonish.
REFERENCE---Then-Pres Obama and his minions started developing the “Russian hacked the election” narrative to give them cover for their blatantly illegal spying on the Trump campaign....... Obama spying on Trump started a year earlier. This is the stuff of third-rate banana republics. Susan Rice, and all concerned, including BO, should be in prison right this minute. (hat tip Junk Silver)
============================================
FROM ONE OF THE MANY EXPOSES---Seeking to retain his position as CIA director under Hillary, Obama-era Brennan at the CIA used phony foreign intel as a pretext for a multi-agency investigation into Trump.....that led the FBI to probe a computer server connected to Trump Tower and gave cover to Susan Rice's sifting operations....
Not only Brennan.... "Susan The Sifter" had a dog in this hunt......Hillary tapped her for Secy of State. One could conclude Comey also had his reasons .....to stay on as FBI director.
Mighty powerful incentives for anti-Trump shenanigans.
.......apparently there are records proving that Obama's CIA director, John Brennan, oversaw repeated spying on the phone calls of President Donald Trump and millions of other private American citizens. An audiotape just released by Federal Judge G. Murray Snow is part of a civil case........
She's no babe in the woods.....she's a practiced con artist. Veselnitskaya calculatedly wormed her way into the Trump milieu (through his son) to get the Magnitsky Act on the agenda of the next president of the USA.
She conned her way in ---- dangling a carrot------saying "she had dirt on Hillary."
It's really odd that she would use Hillary as a carrot on a stick-----that she figured there wasn't enough dirt on Hillary----that she had something more damaging than the mountain of dirt out there.
Maybe time to ask what issues people really care about. I am willing to argue that for some people, they know the whole Russia collusion idea is as stupid as the government did 9/11 and terrorism is all actors.
♫No RINOs♫
They will never stop their Russia narrative, unless it’s for something else that they think they can bring Trump down with.
Donald Trump Jr. was game to collude with the Russians
BULL$***.
He was trying to conduct opposition research which everyone does working for a candidate in a campaign.
I would like to strangle the next damn Democrat who starts with this Russian Crap.
Its all BULL$***
Today, Fusion GPS employee Rinat Akhmetshin today confirmed his attendance at a meeting with Donald Trump Jr, Paul Manafort, and Jared Kushner along with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.
Accusations have arisen that the meeting was part of a wider setup to achieve a FISA warrant to wiretap phones of the Trump campaign during 2016. President Trump himself has accused the FBI under Loretta Lynch of wiretapping his campaign.
Now, a former Trump campaign official reports that Paul Manafort’s phone was subject to FISA wiretap during the infamous meeting.
If true, this FISA warrant would have been carried out under Loretta Lynch, Attorney General to Barack Obama. Former FBI Director James Comey has testified under oath to instances of collusion between AG Lynch and the Clinton campaign during 2016, as well as obstruction of justice in the Clinton investigation.

So if you are doing opposition research, what sources are illegal? The Times can print leaked classified info with no consequence.

Here’s what people care about. Jobs. Economy. Taxes. Illegal Immigration. National Security.
Nobody but the Press cares about Russia.
What would this mean going forward? I don’t know how all of this works.
I heard Smerconish scream at a caller about eight years ago for mentioning the “birth certificate”—which has been proven, of course, to be a crude forgery.
Stands to reason Smerconish is a Russia! Russia! Russia! whore.
Uh, haven’t seen a reason not to so far. Well except the whole collusion thing. Nah. No statute anyway. So, how can one “obstruct” a thing that isn’t a crime anyway?
No reason not to support President Trump. He is doing what he promised to do. GO TRUMP GO
And if they try to impeach him they are gonna find out just how much.
The buzz word of the day is now "collusion". This follows all the other failed strategies. It was planted by podesta and uses the same tactic that hairless reid used against Romney.
On the senate floor, reid claimed Romney didn't pay taxes with absolutely no basis for the statement. Then, as it went full circle through the dim media hysteria mill, reid claimed that "Word was on the street" that Romney didn't pay taxes. He made this claim as if it had originated from any source other than him.
They are using goebbels proven tactic: A lie spoken often enough becomes the truth.
When will it sink in that just saying something you want to be true does not make it true. And I love the part where he claims to be trying to bring balance to XM POTUS only to be stunned by the ignorance of the callers.
