"Tom Hambuger"

Oh, lookee! There's a name from the 1998-99 impeachment wars.

Oh course, little Tommy Hambuger was flinging himself into the guns of the people attacking Clinton back then.

Once a partisan Democrat Media mouthpiece, ALWAYS a Democrat Media mouthpiece...

Is it misleading like the fake news coming out of the Washington Post?

All's fair in love and war. And this is war.

"The statement WAS untrue. The statement said that the meeting had nothing to do with the campaign. Later they admitted that this was not true."

You're wrong on every point. Here's the statement:

I was asked to have a meeting by an acquaintance I knew from the 2013 Miss Universe pageant with an individual who I was told might have information helpful to the campaign. I was not told her name prior to the meeting. I asked Jared and Paul to attend, but told them nothing of the substance. We had a meeting in June 2016. After pleasantries were exchanged, 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. She then changed subjects and began discussing the adoption of Russian children and mentioned the Magnitsky Act. 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. I interrupted and advised her that my father was not an elected official, but rather a private citizen, and that her comments and concerns were better addressed if and when he held public office. The meeting lasted approximately 20 to 30 minutes. As it ended, my acquaintance apologized for taking up our time. That was the end of it and there was no further contact or follow-up of any kind. My father knew nothing of the meeting or these events.

Flying home from Germany on July 8 aboard Air Force One, Trump personally dictated a statement in which Trump Jr. said that he and the Russian lawyer had “primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children” when they met in June 2016, according to multiple people with knowledge of the deliberations. The statement, issued to the New York Times as it prepared an article, emphasized that the subject of the meeting was “not a campaign issue at the time.”

The claims were later shown to be misleading.

No, they weren't "later shown to be misleading": repealing the Magnitsky Act was what Veselnitskaya primarily discussed. But speaking of misleading, does the Washington Post's need to keep promoting this false narrative have anything to do with the fact that they recently hired Russian lobbyist and child molester John Podesta? Just why did you hire a Russian lobbyist and child molester, Jeff Bezos? What is your vested interest in protecting the Clinton crime machine?

It’s almost as if the Washington Compost is staffed with crazy lying liberals assisting in the Democrat coup. /of course they are - not that you didn’t already know that

Amazon recently got in hot water for allowing terrorist sympathizers to buy stuff from them.

Deflect, deceive, disinform. Bezos evidently has read Alinsky.

Only a very limited number of people could possibly know about this. In the unlikely event the claim is true, it set a fine trap over nothing of substance. May the leaker get what he/she deserves.

Well, that’s certainly a reasonable guess.

I thank God, everyday, that Trump is my President.
