Donald Trump Jr. on Tuesday released a stunning chain of emails detailing his conversations about setting up a campaign meeting with a Russian lawyer who had offered compromising information on Hillary Clinton.
The information “would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father,” reads one of the emails from Rob Goldstone, who acted as an intermediary to set up the meeting.
“This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump,” wrote Goldstone.
In one of the emails released on Twitter, referring to the information on Clinton, Trump Jr. told Goldstone: “If it's what you say I love it.”
In another email, Goldstone suggested the information about Clinton could be given to then-candidate Donald Trump through Rhona Graff, his longtime aide.
“I can also send this info to your father via Rhona, but it is ultra sensitive so wanted to sent to you first,” Goldstone wrote.
The White House has not responded to the latest disclosure from the president’s son. Spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Monday that Trump only learned of the meeting in the last few days.
She has denied that Trump Jr. colluded with the Russians in any way. American intelligence agencies have determined that Moscow meddled in the 2016 election on Trump’s behalf.
Trump has not commented publicly on the meeting.
Goldstone, a music producer who represents a Russian pop star named Emin Agalarov, has connections to both Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Trump. Agalarov's father was Trump’s partner in bringing the Miss Universe pageant to Russia in 2013.

Think his lawyer would let him release the emails if there was anything there? This is damage control and they are killing it immediately. It will be dead and buried in 48 hours.
Hillary was dirty. It’s a wonder more people didn’t try to blackmail her.
This could have been a front for the Clinton campaign. I fail to see any problem with this. It never got further than the son, as it looks like they never produced anything.
Also,
McCain did the same thing.
McCain met with Russians to get a “dossier” that was damaging to Trump.
Should’t McCain be investigated?
A huge number of Hillary’s e-mails that were not for everyone’s eyes are found where they are not supposed to be which is a DIRECT violation and Hillary tells everyone it’s nothing and the media ignores the story? Then, here are some e-mails about nothing and suddenly it’s news? Our Federal agencies have been subverted by foreign operatives who are feeding propaganda to the media.
I think you’re right...
Yes. To think of Hillary. And Obama. And Holder. And Lynch. There were just “no scandals” for 8 years. The media never found anything interesting to talk about. So clean.
But this Don Jr. guy!!!! He actually received some emails! It gives me the vapors! Will the Republic survive?
DIRECT violation “of law”. Forgot that part...
“Think his lawyer would let him release the emails if there was anything there? This is damage control and they are killing it immediately. It will be dead and buried in 48 hours.”
Agreed.
But also keep in mind.
This is how the Opposition Party is operating.
For the next 8 years, it will be #FAKESCANDAL after #FAKESCANDAL after #FAKESCANDAL.

8 years.. get ready... it isn’t going to stop.
Excellent! Lets investigate Rino and Trump Hater, McAinal!

Nobody wanted to end up in Fort Marcy Park.
When will Hillary release her e-mails? Oh yeah she destroyed them...
IT turns out they had nothing, so it went no further. I fail to see anything here, other than these people get to keep up the narrative a few more days.
Someone, a Russian or Iranian, comes to CLinton and says I’ve got stuff on Trump. What would her people say, “Sorry, not interested?”
The bottom line question: Even if what the mediots are claiming is true, was ANYTHING illegal or even unprecedented about the meeting?
Hillary’s people would have jumped on that information like a loose football in the end zone if it had been about Trump.
Oh wait, they did; from the Ukrainians.
Well look at that, someone actually RELEASED their emails..meanwhile Hillary Clinton stomped all over hers and bleach bit it..come om Hill, do the same thing, show how “transparent” you are and RELEASE YOUR EMAILS
if the same email was sent to the hilley offering the same dirt on Trump ..well isnt that what they have been looking for?
