Report: Trump Jr. was promised damaging info on Clinton

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.

........and I’m sure Kankles and her War Room hit men NEVER had meetings re opposition research, right?

Psycho Joe and Adulterous Skank Mika will renew their snarky childish insults in full force, their large audience of 157 will gush with joy. Jimmy PeePee PooPoo Pants Acosta will launch a new round of daily toddler tantrums; he will melt down every day before/after/during the daily White House briefings. The angry sweaty Playboy Magazine “contributor” will start screaming again “We’re trying to do our jobs!!!” during the White House briefings (in between sneaking looks at naked lady photos LMAO).

There will be lots of Trump Derangement Syndrome on display, all very entertaining. Pass the popcorn!

I’m just going to assume it’s 100% true.

So what.

Precisely.

Nothingburger after nothingburger is breathlessly announced by the Fake News Media regarding "Russia".

The Ministry of Propaganda has become a laughingstock, constantly crying "wolf", or "the sky is falling", and the People are just a little too smart to be fooled by these idiots any more.

The Propaganda Media will obviously never let their delusions go, so the rest of the country will simply move forward without them, until some outlets decide to start practicing journalism with a modicum of integrity, instead of simply being a malicious mouthpiece for the Uniparty Swamp.

Hopefully, the New York Slimes, Washington Compost, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News and their slanted and dishonest ilk will finally wake up to the fact that the vast majority of the American People simply aren't buying the garbage that they're trying to sell.

Collectively, these manipulative purveyors of anti-Trump—anti-American— propaganda epitomize the word "laughingstock". Apparently, they're content to serve their hateful Left-wing enclaves in New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago, while basically ignoring "flyover country" and telling the majority of Americans to go to H-ll.

Eventually, some outfit like OANN will hire some top talent, and get some cable and satellite providers to add them to their channel lineups. Then, the country will start seeing some actual journalism again, and ultimately these pathetic dinosaurs will become extinct...
