Who let him into the country should be the next question.

Hannity asked if the meeting went as it was told on the Today show that noted who was in the room. He agreed.

In the NBC interview the Russian lawyer did say there was another guy in the room. She just wouldn't name him to the NBC reporter.

Can you provide a link to that? Also why did Jr only mention a person instead of people in his release on Saturday?

Its a rumor. Thats all it is. And it could be psy ops as I stated. Its not a rumor that kushner threw jr under the bus about this meeting. He did it.

Many people here have no clue that this really is a money laundering Investigation involving real estate...with the hope of turning it into rico prosecution...also quid pro quo investigation about getting financing for the mess kushner is in with 666 property

You can receive russian laundered money and not know it.

And division and paranoia are key to getting people to flip..mafia lawyer will be well aware of tactics.

If Kushner left the room after just a few minutes he may have done so specifically to avoid a problem by giving himself the ability to say later that he wasn't a participant in discussions of any consequence.

I'm not a fan of Kushner, but on this particular point he may have been acting on solid grounds.

this person in the meeting was surely plotting the hacking of DNC and Podesta emails with Don Jr.

Good.

Give them all medals.

For a setup to work you have to have a mark that takes the bait.

Something to keep in mind here is that Kushner works in the White House. Donald Trump Jr. does not...

...and also, Don Jr took that meeting as a private citizen with no prior experience in government or any working knowledge of the protocols involved in contact with foreign agents (lobbyists).

Manafort should have had a handle on this meeting. Seems to me, he was asleep on the job.

I'm heading out the door and won't be back until later today, but that was posted right here on FreeRepublic by someone who apparently saw the interview.

Also why did Jr. only mention a person instead of people in his release on Saturday?

Because when someone sets up a meeting with one person, you generally aren't going to describe it as a meeting with a whole group of people. I've worked in managerial capacities where this happens all the time. "John Q. Smith of the ABC Corporation is coming to meet with you this afternoon." If you ask me about it a year from now, I'll describe it as "my meeting with John Q. Smith" -- even if he showed up with two of his senior executives.

Oddly enough, it's important people like this who show up to these meetings alone that I remember most.

This happens all the time in politics...even at public functions. Cant be seen with so and so.

Except in this case kushner was on the email chain. Suppose to be about emails. Dangle. Instead about repealing the Act. He leaves.

Manafort reportedly claims he didnt read the whole email chain

Maybe that was one of many reasons why Manafort was later fired.

Manafort has thrown jr under the bus with the claim he didnt read whole email chain.

Its possible he didnt..he should have but they were busy..might have just relied on Jr

Interesting thought...but wouldn’t that entail trump being told. I guess it could have been something like..you need to fire him but you dont want to know why

>> In the Hannity interview he says the Goldstone dude was there, too <<

But did he say there was nobody else? I don’t remember.

I dont know timing of fisa warrant but I do know intercept of russian ambassador thought to spy talking about kushner wanting to avoid US intelligence with russian equipment might have been enough for a warrant..certainly enough to unmask identity.

Lodi90 has some interesting knowledge on russians and political environment and oligarchs

Putin wants Act to be repealed. This whole escapade could have been to curry favor with putin.

I understood it was her, Trump Jr, Kushner, and Manafort. Was Goldstone on the phone?

I just read fox article on it. He mentioned goldstone. Says goldstone apologized. Didnt mention other people were there. Not sure it was necessary to say how many people were there. More like..hey there was a meeting. It was a bust
