The meeting was also attended by Trump's campaign chairman at the time, Paul Manafort, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Manafort and Kushner only recently disclosed the meeting, though not its content, in confidential government documents described to The New York Times.
The meeting, which took place at Trump Tower on June 9, 2016, two weeks after Trump clinched the Republican nomination, points to the central question in federal investigations of the Kremlin’s meddling in the presidential election: whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians. The accounts of the meeting represent the first public indication that at least some in the campaign were willing to accept Russian help.

It is unclear whether the Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, actually produced the promised compromising information about Clinton, but the people interviewed by The Times about the meeting said the expectation was that she would do so.
In a statement on Sunday, Donald Trump Jr. said he had met with the Russian lawyer at the request of an acquaintance.
“After pleasantries were exchanged,” he said, “the woman stated that she had information that individuals connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National Committee and supporting Ms. Clinton. Her statements were vague, ambiguous and made no sense. No details or supporting information was provided or even offered. It quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information.”
He said she then turned the conversation to adoption of Russian children and the Magnitsky Act, an American law that blacklists suspected Russian human rights abusers. The law enraged Russian President Vladimir Putin that he retaliated by halting American adoptions of Russian children.
“It became clear to me that this was the true agenda all along and that the claims of potentially helpful information were a pretext for the meeting,” Trump's son said.

So, the meeting was all about adoption and nothing else
I’m sure if someone requested a meeting with Podesta and said... “hey, I have some dirt on Trump... want to hear it?” Podesta would have said “Heck no... I want no part of that!”
Russian news flash: Hillary has Cankles !
I can see it now...
Russian: “Vee haff damagink invormation. Hillary ees lesbian!”
Trump,Jr.: “Everybody knows that. You’re wasting my time.”
Thanks for your take on it.
This whole Ruski thing is dead. No matter how they morph it now, it’s dead.
In 2020, they’ll be talking matter of factly how Trump stole the last election, so we need to oust him.
Never mind that there hasn’t been one shred of evidence to even hint it may be true.
“Risible nonsense debunked with five minutes of sleuthing.”
Five minutes o actual investigative work is a lot to expect from today’s MSM.
And they keep digging...
I think this is great! Just when you think the American Public can’t hate them (MSM) any more, they spew more B.S.
Russian lawyer who got inside Donald Trump’s inner circle had been denied US visa
So the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians by listening to information that the Clinton campaign was colluding with the Russians!
Yawn. So what?
Wonder if the "newspaper of [fake news] record" will hang on that long.
I am confounded by the ignorance of the human race.
Perhaps they did. The real collusion could have been Russia trying to help Hitlery with the phony dossiers and these other dirty tricks.
Maybe she gave them such juicy information on Clinton, that they decided to hold on to it until later. Never know!
LOL! My fantasy too!!
Continued: “President Bill Clinton was in attendance with his wife of 7 years, Julie Tauber McMahon” whom he was wed to shortly after the passing of his first wife.
I got that Vlad robocall too! Clinched the deal for me.
This thread is useless w/o pictures. How can we judge this Russian babe otherwise?
