    Default 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...

    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.

    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':

    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017...fferently.html

    ...

    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.

    Maybe he's mad at his dad. I can't think of any explanation. I can't for the life of me understand why he released them. His lawyers must be livid. He's totally exposed.

    Taking advice from Assange is not a smart move. Trump Jr. really doesn't want to be associated with him or Wikileaks.

    Looks like someone else agrees with my take:

    http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/07/1...efense-hannity

    ...

    Krauthammer said he's defended Trump Jr. and his father against accusations of collusion because there "wasn't [any] 'there' there."

    "[But] the denial of collusion is very weak right now because it looks as if Don Junior was receptive to receiving this information," Krauthammer said.

    "It's a hell of a defense to say your collusion wasn't competent and it didn't work out," he said.

    Default 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!

    Easy. The trumps want the media and dems going down this rabbit hole. Let them keep chasing after nothing.

    Or......... they could stop feeding this bullshit train and actually focus on policy. Did you hire Trump to fix America or to troll the dems?

    Do you need a lesson in mutual exclusivity? Trump knows what he's doing.
