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 presidents 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 Trumps 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 Trumps partner in bringing the Miss Universe pageant to Russia in 2013.

I see the media is shrieking like a stuck pig again.
This is all connected to Fussion GP and Fussion GP was paid by a “Democrat”...wow, who could that Democrat be? Has she “Suffered enough” yet ,Donald?
I suspect they are still trying.
Fusion GPS, the group behind the ‘golden showers’ dossier, was connected to the Russian lawyer lady. She may have worked for them.
This seems like a set up by Deep State to open the door to Obama unmasking/spying on team Trump.
Nope, Nothing, Nada illegal about a private citizen meeting with any foreigner. Heck I arrived in US on a student visa, and met hundreds of Americans and dated several American women before acquiring US citizenship 10 years later.
During those days of my youth, I was solidly against Goldwater and for LBJ.
My point is if DT Jr is guilty of talking politics with a foreigner, then I have a list of 100+ Americans guilty of the same non-crime, for talking politics with me.
Do did they adopt a kid or not?

The point of the Times is to write stories fed by the CIA. But the stories need to be defended by something other than the CIA. Its illegal for the CIA to leak. So the CIA leaks to the Times and the Times tries to come up with information that defends the stories.
Remember all the things you know from this last summer. Trump was not the nominee. Bernie was still in the election and had larger crowds than Hillary. Bernie is a socialist, so Russians like Bernie the most. Trump did not know the Russians were the source of the Wiki-Leak emails. So Trump would have no problem taking this meeting.
We know that the CIA did bug Russians and any other foreigner they wanted to without permission. They also asked to bug the Trump Tower right after this meeting. Then before losing power they unmasked anyone they could in the Trump Campaign who talked to this women or any foreigner who talked to the Trump Campaign.
So this story is really a part of the narrative that the Deep State, set up by Obama, is still attacking. And they got this story because the Russian story was disappearing. The CIA unmasked Junior and they are using these emails as proof. But they found the emails because they were bugging the Russians in Trump tower and unmasked Junior.
What bothers me is that this at LEAST makes it look like they were potentially WILLING to “collude” with the Russians. That could be an issue.
If someone says they have something incriminating on your political opponent, what’s wrong with listening to what they have to say?
What difference does it make whether the source is foriegn?
This whole brouhaha is over nothing and DjT jr knows it, that’s why he had no problem releasing the email chain.
The real story, what’s the dirt on Hillary?
More popcorn!
Of course its wrong to spy on Americans. But there is a loop hole. They are allowed to spy on foreigners. And if a foreigner speaks to an American, they can listen to that. They are supposed to mask the Americans. But they can unmask them without going to court. And that is what the Obama administration did. This is why Trump said he was bugged. This is why Obama was unmasking. This is why the CIA went to the court to bug the Trump Tower. They wanted to have this Russian thing going when Trump was in office. If they had a crime they would have released it. But they have no crime on Trumps part. They have lots of crimes on the Deep States part. There is crimes on Hillary’s part. But there is no crime on Trumps part or Trump Jr.s part.
Oh my God make it stop....little sheppey smith is on talking about this ad nauseam it’s like listening to someone’s fingernails on a chalkboard every time he opens his frigging mouth
I turned on Rush long enough to listen to a caller say he's tired of hearing about Russia. I agree.
Rush did say he's tired of feeling like we're on the defensive. I agreed with that as well.
You are right, those people want to keep the fire on for their illusion.
The timing is June 2016. Manafort was campaign manager for about a week or two more into August, then resigned. Yes, this is what can be derived. Now that the “lawyer” he was “connecting” with Donald, Jr. has said she had nothing to do with any hillary info- and instead showed up with pleas regarding the Magnitsky law and immigration issues— there was nothing given to them regarding hillary. Goldstone’s current behaviour gives the LIE to the entire tale, and as the “producer” or “publicist” for the son (the wannabee “pop star” of Russian music scene) of the guy who promoted the 2013 Miss Universe pageant with Trump MC’ing— there is and always was a very slim connection to having “anything” in opposition research from Russia regarding hitlery and corruption. The emails from this guy are a whole lot of pumped up BS... and turned out to be truly, BS. Which is why Donald, Jr. released them.
Goldstone— getting paid to throw red meat to NYTimes— not surprising at all.
Goldstone being the US connex to Fusion GPS and the whole creation of the false story of the “pissing on the bed” in the hotel with hookers-— thus, more of the same. Little people in the “entertainment” industry would work for far less money spilling on some “celebrity”. In this case- trying— twice— to sell fake dirt on Trump.
It is not going to end well. But red meat and chum draws the usual demonrat sharks, desperate for something... anything... russian. While they themselves ARE the colluding party with the russians— and sure don’t want this to go any further down the path.
The dossier existed and was created first for democrats then expanded by the Bush people (and then was to be paid for again by Clintons through the FBI, but didn’t-Comey being the weasel he is for his own back trail) long before McCain did his “public duty” when it was trailed in front of his nose by a specific Brit connection— name escapes me. But Goldstone could be involved in creating the narrative what with the son’s nothing career and thin connex to blackmail from the Miss Universe show his dad promoted— that’s how it is in russia.
Just reading Goldstones press replies and literally trying to “run away” from what he spilled to NYTimes-— rather funny in a sad way.
Something last night about 28K Hillary emails just released on twitter.... have not followed up veracity, but it was also in context of the inability for “the russians” to download all of the DNC emails, or any hacker doing this online. That is, it had to be an insider (Seth Rich) loading this directly to a flash drive and giving it to the known go-between to wikileaks.
But still— 28K “new” formerly gone emails from Hillary. Got to look into this one. That’s the real story in all this obfuscation, I’ll bet.
