Told about the e-mail by three whole people eh? Who are they? How do they have access to Rob or Don Jr.'s email accounts?
WHO ARE THEY?
If we don't know who these three sources are, this entire article is WORTHLESS.
This whole thing is yet another nothingburger. And yet the way it's written is just so dadgum ~suggestive~, isn't it?
And the legion of NYT comments just lap. It. Up.
There are a few islands of sanity in the comments, but the vast majority are people being whipped into yet another 'TRUMP COLLUDED WITH RUSSIA, THIS IS TREASON' hysteria.
This is journalistic malpractice, and it's going to get people killed.
Already has. Unless, of course, Scalise pulls through.
Even if it’s all true, it’s still a nothing burger. To see that, just change “Russian” to “French.” Or to “German.” Or to “British.” Or to “Canadian.”
The more journalists assigned to a story, the more lies it contains.
President Trump has already stated he was not aware of the meeting and did it not attend it.
Fake news media is looking for Russians under every bed.
Hey, don’t you know? It’s illegal for a US citizen to talk to someone from Russia. Oh yes, if you talk to someone like tennis player Maria Sharapova then whoa! Your goose is cooked bud!
The Russian lawyer is connected to the Democrats at Fusion GPS. The “Steele Dossier” people. This won’t end well for them. Guaranteed.
If someone approached the NYT, or CNN, or the DNC, and said that they could arrange a meeting with a Russian who had damaging information about Donald Trump, they would accept in a heartbeat.
I don’t get it. What is wrong with the meeting. Nothing. Hillary took meetings from people giving her money while she was in office. Hillary took debate questions. Hillary edited articles before they were publishers and told CNN who to fact check. Hillary sent out top secret information, tampered with evidence, broke laws and lied about it. Trump listened to a Russian lawyer. Its not a crime, its not even unethical. In fact its stupid not to take the meeting. I don’t get it. Where is the news?
Article isn’t clearly written and the usual anonymous sources didn’t show the email. I’m guessing there is a lot of journalistic deception here.
This whole thing looks like a Podesta operation. They were trying to set Jr up and he fell for it. And who had lots of connections with the Russians? Podesta.
many, many words that really only translate to this: still no evidence, certainly no proof of anything . . . still nothing but the vapor allegation.
Goldstone was a former “British tabloid reporter”.
The NY Slimes must have known how that phrase would look in the story, or maybe they are so tone-death today that it passes for some sort of bizarre resume credit.
Who are the reporters of the failing NY Slimes that wrote this earth-shattering news of the century?
JO BECKER, MATT APUZZO, ADAM GOLDMAN, and MAGGIE HABERMAN
Count ‘em, four ‘Reporters’, FOUR, writing a tabloid of a tabloid.
And yesterday their controlling stockholder was pleading poverty with a hand out for US government assistance.
Let me see? A Democrat ( ? ) pays for Fusion GP to gather info from Russians supposedly against Trump, and the FBI and Democrats in Congress & the Senate use that info, and that’s perfectly OK, but Fusion GP Cons Donald jr into a meeting with a Russian and that is Collusion with the Kremlin?
And oh course Drudge is Helping the New York Times spread their lies...he has to be called on this crap.
“It does not elaborate on the wider effort by Moscow to help the Trump campaign.”
Because there was none you morons.
Agree the story is a nothingburger.
It may allow investigators to subpoena emails though, and that would mean the Russia crap won’t die for a long, long time.
That would really suck.
Is there a law against accepting opposition research from anyone — individual or govt agent?
Come on now, we all know its against the law to speak with a Russian, unless of course that Russian might be a Prostitute that peed on a bed.
All e-mails have totally valid information, always.
I know. I got one yesterday from Nigeria, promising to pay me $40,000. I’ve already picked out my Lexus.
Suppose they are right and Trump worked with Putin to save America from the Satanic, pedophile-protecting, pro-Islamist, anti-American, anti-freedom Democrat Party. Would that have been a bad thing? Trump and Putin are Christians who are each dedicated to the preservation of Christendom. Whatever they decided to do to accomplish that goal should be applauded, not prosecuted.
So by June 2016, the whole political establishment were pooping their panties over the possibility that Donald J. Trump could beat the wicked witch of the west.
