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.

I thought the original email drew a little blood (just a little). This new “update” doesn’t really add anything to the story as far as I can tell.

My guess is that this all dies under its own weight within a week.

Unbelievable isn't it?

Yes, and I don't believe a word of it. How many times did the article state "according to CNN"? Somebody's trying to add another patty to the nothing burger.

And where is the information on the Dem's dirty money in the plastic envelope? What a pantsuit load!

Not sure how many were in the room. Just check with the caterer! I also heard the female lawyer doesn’t speak english so who interpreted? I think trump has this video/logs/info all ready to go. It will be more than embarassing. Trump, himself, wasn’t at the meeting. therefore none of this really matters.

You said “more than 2 Americans in the room”. That may be true. Sort of like “too many men on the field”. Move Trump Towers back 10 yards.

Bet the President has all of “it” recorded. This meeting may be why/how he found out the Dems were bugging him and his family. It was the President’s property and his rules.

Strange.. he say he gave Don jr this dirt...

Yet Trump never released or use
this dirt during the campaign?!

Why not ..Trump was down in all the polls going into the end ...

This is the perfect October surprise you have this bombshell to blow Hilary up and you never used it??????

And why would this guy working for Putin even need Trump ...

if this Russian has this dirt ...They have reporters in the United States they could dump it to ...they don’t even need Trump to release that they can blow up Hillary all on there own....

They could dump it through Wiki leaks that’s what they’re saying that they dump the e-mails through Wiki leaks... why did they need Trump to Do anything with this the Russians could release this all on their own through Wiki leaks

That’s the point why do they need to talk to Trump if their objective is to take out Hillery they could dump all their information on their own and they no reason to talk Trump what’s the point of talking to Trump

What’s the reason to collude if they want to take out Hillary they can-do it all on their own

Akhmetshin works for Fusion GPs ( The DNCs opposition dirty tricks outfit) but you know that, and continue with your lies.

Folks, it boils down to this for the Deep State. Get Trump before he gets us, and do it by any means necessary.

or maybe the Russian is outright lying...

Or maybe Don Jr. thought it was sensitive enough 'rumor' that he wasn't going to repeat it...As the article states, it was said the information (rumor) wasn't verifiable, Don would have to do his own digging...

Another big NothingBurger...I really don't care what happened...Obviously it was nothing...

Patrick J. Buchanan was on Hannity tonight discussing the constant Russia shrieking by the MSM. He doesn’t think it will stop, and is afraid that the whole situation “won’t end well”. It was disturbing. I took it to mean that they will be successful in taking down/out Trump. Hannity took it that way, too, I believe.

"If all this is true...,"

Calling that a "big 'if'" is insulting. That you might even consider for a second that this is true is a very sad commentary indeed.

By the Russian-American lobbyist's own account, the meeting did not amount to much. He had written it off as a non-event:

Akhmetshin, who spoke to the AP while on vacation in France where he said he has been surfing, said the meeting was “not substantive” and he “actually expected more serious” discussion. “I never thought this would be such a big deal, to be honest,” he said.

But one of the Russians are lying. Most definitely.

The AP interview does not state that at all.

“How long does a business keep their camera footage, though?”

Depends on how many Beta tapes they have. This is a world c!ass property I would hope they keep records in the cloud forever.

Since Don Jr. and Jared Kushner didn’t use the folder full of secrets Akhmetshin should do the world a favor and release it himself.

"Won't end well" could just as easily be interpreted as Comey, Lynch, Wasserman-Schultz et al. going to jail. It would be good for America overall, but the DNC would collapse.

The credibility of U.S. intel agencies could also be catastrophically damaged (until Trump could fix it).

I would chill out a bit. Djtjr left 7 minutes into the meeting. The clown who claims that he gave djtjr info on dirty money is a suspected Russian spy and has no credibility whatsoever.

Just more fiction to keep you entertained.
