A nothing burger.
McCain did the same thing.
Picked up a dossier, from Russians, with supposedly damaging information on Trump.
McCain was told there was information on Trump, which could affect the campaign, and he had it picked up. Everyone associated with this is the same thing...
A nothing burger.
Bad optics, at least.
The article needs to be formatted.
It doesn’t matter.
Meeting with someone who says that they have information about your political opponent is legal.
Neither the person’s ethnicity, nor their associations, changes that.
Russians are not bad.
The whole thing is a redirection from a constructive domestic agenda, like tax cuts and infrastructure...
...and the invasion of The West.
I agree. While I have generally been highly skeptical of a lot of these so called reports because of where most of them are coming from. this is not coming from the leftist press. I am not sure if this is illegal, but it is disturbing. I am forced to ask myself what would we be saying if it was one of the Clinton Cartel who was getting dirt on Trump from a foreign power? I am reserving judgement here, but you are right. This doesn’t look good.
Not good.ROTFLMAO! I can't believe anyone would fall for this. I mean, really. This is beyond silly to the point it is comically preposterous. So, the Russian government is going to send an unsecured email through a British publicist acting as proxy? Really? Have we as an information consuming public become this dull?
Paragraphs ringing a bell? Doofus.
This is the end for Trump
Not. Are you freaking kidding me?
As Jonathan Turley said, if it was killing pandas, it’d be an endangered species act violation. But it’s just NOT. And it’s not a crime whatsoever.
Even though they didn’t produce anything at that meeting, a lot of things that happened subsequently look bad.
Could they have been setting up Trump for blackmail over trying to get the information? (Remember, they already had their hooks in Hillary. This would be a good way to hedge their bets.)
Let’s not be like the left and blindly, automatically defend “our side” automatically, no matter what. We’re better than that.
Guy (the Gay) at it again.
Sorry, there is no collusion here whatsoever.
Why isn't anyone investigating the commie "democrats" for colluding with Mexico, Central and South America for them to send their criminals, bottomfeeders, gangstas and freeloaders to America to vote for the commie 'RAT party candidates? Investigate THAT and I'll be impressed.
A big nothing burger.
Just like Hillary must have known that her server was illegal, or must have known that the emails had classified data?
I'm impressed about how the establishment still gives Hillary every benefit of doubt, while Trump gets none.
Hillary had no intent, and Trump had every intent.
Comey said that no prosecutor would charge Hillary, but Mueller is forming a Magnificent Seven posse of Democrat gunslingers to take out Trump.
Furthermore...
Clinton trying to get oppo research on Trump from a former MI-6 agent is not "British meddling" in the election, but Trump trying to get oppo research from a Russian lawyer IS "Russian meddling?"
If you stop and think about it, you have a British spy giving the Clinton campaign a fake dossier on Trump, and a British PR agent offering Trump oppo research on Clinton.
Was it really the British who were trying to influence the American election???

Oh the horror! Trying to get dirt on your campaign opponent! Nothing about this passes the smell test. The NYT trying to pass this as real news because they heard from their friends brothers, third cousins best friends girlfriend who saw Ferris and Trump jr. at 31 flavors eating Russian dressing on their ice cream. Total BS! And Trump jr. putting out email kills any further attempts to speculate on the email trail. All is a pile of NYT CRAP!
Oh, the way Clinton hired a British spy to do opposition research? Or the way Obama hired West Bank boiler rooms to process credit card donations. Gore and the Clintons raised tons of shady money from China.
There is nothing, nada, zip, illegal about a foreigner telling a campaign information about the opposition.
By the way, has anyone heard what the big scoop was?
And this guy who set up this meeting, repeatedly contacting Trump junior, he’s some kind of democrat. Just watch.

Concern troll posts an article from a published Never Trumper. Yawn...
The reality is probably just that the British PR guy spreads a lot of BS to get people's attention, and the Russian woman was just a lobbyist, as it turned out was the case.
The emails aren't really bad for Trump, but they may present quite a legal problem for those who were spying on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC.
