The New York Times published a story on Saturday that revealed Donald Trump Jr. met with Natalia Veselnitskaya, a “Russian lawyer who has connections to the Kremlin,” on June 9th, 2016. On Sunday, The Times followed up with a report that said Don Jr. “was promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton before agreeing to meet with [the] Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer during the 2016 campaign, . . .” Paul Manafort, President Trump’s campaign manager at the time, and Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and current advisor, also attended the meeting, according to The Times.
But the critical detail of who sought to broker the meeting is wholly omitted in both of The Times’ reports. In a statement to The Times, Don Jr. said, “I was asked to attend the meeting by an acquaintance, but was not told the name of the person I would be meeting with beforehand.”
Whoever the acquaintance was, subsequent reporting by Circa News said that members of the President’s legal team have confirmed that the acquaintance “who sought the meeting is associated with Fusion GPS.”
Trump’s presumptive nomination is significant here for other, less obvious reasons. That is because, according to The New York Times, during the Republican primaries, a wealthy Republican donor who strongly opposed Mr. Trump put up the money to hire a Washington research firm run by former journalists, Fusion GPS, to compile a dossier about the real estate magnate’s past scandals and weaknesses.
However, The Times continued,
After Mr. Trump emerged as the presumptive nominee in the spring, the Republican interest in financing the effort ended. But Democratic supporters of Hillary Clinton were very interested, and Fusion GPS kept doing the same deep dives, but on behalf of new clients.

I want to know the name of the wealthy republican.
Of course,,,
In other words, a setup.
And as Usual Drudge is doing his very best to help the New York Times spread its propaganda.
Grassley has been asking for info since at least February and FusionGPS refuses.
Six months have gone by.
In the big picture geopolitical sense, the United States must have flexibility in dealing with the matter President Donald Trump sees as extremely serious, North Korea’s nuclear program.
Russia and China appeared to be on the same track last week in urging the US not to respond to the increasing NK threat.
The foreign policy guru of the past, Dr. Henry Kissinger, is still with us in his 90’s. Kissinger worked on better relations with the USSR and China so the two countries could be played against each other to the benefit of the United States.
Dr. Kissinger has met with President Trump and in the face of China’s increased trade with North Korea since the beginning of the year (as tweeted by the POTUS last week) I think the President needs to keep options open on reaching out for Russian help to deal with NK if China is giving such a cold shoulder.
I sense the Saudis and Israelis, whose anti-Iran policy is playing out in Syria, don’t want better relations with Russia.
But Iran’s nuclear program is not as advanced and threatening to the USA as is North Korea’s.
AMERICA FIRST MEANS KEEPING OPTIONS OPEN WITH RUSSIA IN THE FACE OF CHINESE DUPLICITY OVER NORTH KOREA....
I know, right? WTH? It was gone but now it’s back. He starts losing his own credibility after 3 fricking days. But I guess now we’re going for 4.
This story is NOT a somethingburger.
When they find out who approved (overrode the initial denial) the Russian lawyer’s visa, we’ll know more about who is behind the set up.
My guess is it’s FBI. Maybe CIA. I.e. Comey or Brennan.
The shit’s coming down on them.
Now I will know the thunder is called in when Sessions says something, anything. But I do think they’re about to get schlonged bigly.

Is Trump team’s meeting with Russian lawyer collusion?

Swamp bump for later.....
It was the old KGB “Honey Trap” but this time the bait was both the woman and the promise of secret information on the Clintons.
The Trump boys got took, hooker, line and stinker.
The early reports said it was McCain who hooked up Romney. Mc Muffin and another wealthy man who was involved in the “Mormon Mafia”
(don’t remember his name)
When “Mormon Mafia” was researched it explained that when CIA was originated they hired many young Mormons because they had served overseas with language knowledge Because of their experience they rose in position within the organization and formed a strong influencial group within the group and were referred to as Mormon Mafia. Name has been used for other groups too
How else is gonna get leaked to the New York Slimes?
That would make sense. Romney hated President Trump. If that fake document can be traced back to him.......
Supposidly the story line was plagerized from a creative writing exercise of McMuffins son.
So you think it will blow over in a few months?
Balderdash. How so? By simply taking the meeting in order to see what was up?
Keep trying...
