I met Don Jr and Jared at Trump Tower and we DID give them dirt on Dems, says Soviet spook
Daily Mail ^ | July 14, 2017 | Nikki Schwab and Alana Goodman

Donald Trump Jr faced damaging new claims on Friday that he lied about his meeting with a Russian lawyer, as an ex-Soviet intelligence officer revealed he was there too and claimed a trove of claims about Democrats and 'bad money' was handed over.

Russian-American lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin - who U.S. intelligence think may still be a spy - told the Associated Press that he was part of the Trump Tower meeting with Don Jr.

Don Jr brought Jared Kushner, his brother-in-law who is now one of President Donald Trump's , and Paul Manafort, then the campaign chairman.   But on Friday Akhmetshin and other sources revealed stunning new details about the meeting which put Don Jr on the ropes.

Akmetshin's disclosure of being there blew apart Don Jr's claim on Tuesday to have told 'everything' there was to say about the meeting - because the president's son had only admitted to the presence of Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.

Then Akhmetshin, a former Soviet military intelligence officer, piled on the pressure with a bombshell claim that Veselnitskaya had brought a plastic folder full of printed documents which contained claims of the Democratic National Committee receiving dirty Russian money.

That directly contradicted Don Jr's account that no information had been received from the visiting Russians. Don Jr was uncharacteristically silent on twitter as disclosure followed disclosure.

In contrast his brother-in-law Jared Kushner was grinning and relaxed as he and his wife Ivanka mingled with media moguls at Sun Valley in Idaho. 

Democrats are beginning to seize on the claims with Bernie Sanders telling an Associated Press reporter: 'These are very, very, very serious allegations.'

He added that there should not be a rush to judgment. The most damage of the day was done to Don Jr's credibility.

So Don Jr. isn't allowed to talk to Russians, but the AP can talk to a Russian spy?

This is asinine.

The problem is that he said on national TV AND his lawyers said he received no info at the meeting.

I thought the Russians were all about disinformation and propaganda and interference.

I read an interesting article today. I'm trying to find the link again.

It said that the Russian Hooker video was actually of one of Putin's opponents, and it had even been shown on Russian TV.

That’s a given of course. Brian Williams is everywhere.

The Dems have yet to find the silver bullet they're desperately looking for.

Sounds like you’re a believer in the ‘Daily Mail’. Have fun while it lasts.

I’m sure it does. How long does a business keep their camera footage, though?

Find the Hannity interview of Trump Jr. and listen to it again. He doesn't give nearly as much detail about the meeting as you might think.

The information presented in this article doesn't conflict with what Trump has said on TV as much as it conflicts with what THE RUSSIAN LAWYER said in her NBC interview.

Puzzling. He has been an American since 2009. Why was he granted citizenship if that was the case? Normally, foreign operatives cannot obtain citizenship unless it's part of a deal for information. In which case, he wasn't a Russian spy, but rather, a defector.

That would mean he was recruited during 0bama's administration by a US intelligence agency. This meeting is getting fishier and fishier...

He isn’t the only one who made that claim. So far Akhmetshin is the only person claiming such evidence was presented.

I care about the Russia crap, if it backfires on the Enemedia and exposes 0bama’s illegal spying on Trump.
At minimum, it’s entertainment (as is most of what comes out of the Daily Mail).

I agree. If in fact, there were files on the DNC receiving dirty Russian money, why weren’t they turned over to the authorities? Where are they now? Why weren’t they used against Hillary? Or did the Russians want to be paid and were told “NO”?
The whole story smacks of a set up and the Dems. got nothing they could use against Trump before the election or they would have used it.

“Anyway, this doesn’t look good at all.”

Vile crap from the leftwing “news” media never looks good.

cripes...everybody and their brother was lying about who was\wasn’t at this meeting.

Even if it’s true, what does this have to do with anything ?

If it is true, is it red meat to distract the dogs from the contents of Veselnitskaya documents ?

What has any of this to do with Pres. Trump ?

Guess Putin doesn’t like Trump anymore.
