Trump Jr Is It A Nothing Burger?
If so, why didn't he STFU?

BTW, I didn't post on this for 2 days, waiting for someone else that isn't so 'negative' to do so. I really thought it would turn into 'nothing,' now not so sure.

It'll be a couple of days before I get back up to speed... but I did read this morning that JR released the whole email chain. Sounds like another mad charge to a nothing burger.

It adds to the pile. I trust Mueller to the information and don't really have anything to say. I'm am however confused why DT Jr would release the emails. What good did that do him? The smoking gun is there.

According to all I've heard, he did nothing illegal. The optics, on the other hand...
The guy comes off a little slimy no matter how you slice it...

I must say I'm sick of hearing about Russia. Still, that email chain is highly questionable, maybe they're just lucky she didn't 'have anything?' Still is slimey, as you said.Originally Posted by hjmick
I'm pretty down over the ethics and nepotism of this 'clean the swamp' group.
When really down, I try to remember what the alternative would have been...

I'm really tired of hearing about the "Russia-Trump Collusion" story. I no longer care what anybody on any Trump team said to anyone from any other country. The media has overplayed their hand, and I no longer care about the story, and I no longer trust the media to tell me the story - or any other story.
In my opinion, the Trumps have been no slimier than the Clintons ever were. Obama was not as slimy as the Clintons, but pulled slimy crap plenty of times during his 8 years. The only difference is that the media didn't want to cover these kind of stories when it was the Clintons (or Obama) but obsesses about anything they can find, or make up, about the Trumps.

I understand. Like I said, I'm sick of the Russian thing too. Problem with this whole brouhaha, it looks like Trump Jr was looking to partake in collusion. Kushner got out of the room pretty quick, Manafort stuck around, but didn't participate from Jr's account.
I don't get why he released the email chain, it gives confirmation of his desires-which there really wasn't anything to be gained.
A hint that some don't think it's 'nothing':

A spokesman for Vice President Mike Pence released a statement saying the former Indiana governor "was not aware of the meeting." The statement also pointed out that the meeting took place before Trump had nominated Pence to be his running mate.

Educate man, Liberate man
How many times must anybody be told????
There IS NO COLLUSION. None has been found, none has been proven, and the only people who WANT IT to be are...Those who need to find something wrong in order to satisfy their PERPETUAL HATRED. PERIOD!
I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
So, this is for them.

I doubt this is illegal but I am quite concerned about whether or not it is ethical.

What sort of ethics concerns?
If I'd been on the team, I'd have listened to anyone claiming to have dirt on Hellary. Everyone knows she's dirty; what harm in listening to see what they have to say? One good scandal atop all the already known ones and she was finished.
