Again, you are OK with this? http://edition.cnn.com/2017/07/14/politics/donald-trump-jr-meeting/index.html Quote Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, who has been lobbied by Akhmetshin, told CNN earlier this year that the lobbyist is someone with "an ulterior motive" who is "involved with people who've got an agenda" and has "international connections to different groups in Russia." When asked if he thought Akhmetshin was connected to the Russian security services, Rohrabacher said: "I would certainly not rule that out." That's a Republican saying this. Somebody with a lot more knowledge about this than we'll ever know. And he's expressing his concerns. But you seem OK with it? Wow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From another Republican: http://edition.cnn.com/2017/07/14/politics/kinzinger-on-new-day-cnntv/index.html Quote Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger used a Friday morning appearance on CNN's "New Day" to say he would "absolutely not" take a meeting offered to him by a foreign government during an election. "To dismiss this and say, 'Anybody would have met with anybody,' that may be the case if you have an email that says, 'Hey, I have some information on your opponent,' but when you see that it is from the Russian government, courtesy of your friend Vladimir (Putin) or whatever, that's when you hit hard stop on that." Kushner and The Junior are newbies when it comes to politics. And they made a huge mistake here. The repercussions are going to be strong. As they should be. No conspiracy. Just hard facts.

A pattern is clearly setting up and it is becoming evident that Kushner AND his family have been trying to use the 'Trump' connection to raise 500M-1 Bill for his tower block on 5th Ave that they grossly overpaid for and are now in serious risk of losing it! Why do you think that meetings in China have been 'engineered' for Mr and Mrs Kushner ?? There is a machine full of very dirty washing and it will all come out soon enough.

Andaman Al Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 ^^^ Fox news has two distinct camps now. They have the real journalists like Chris Wallace and Shep Smith who report it as it is, no matter how ugly. Then there are all those on the Hannity and Fox Friends side who are brown nosing sycophantic wasters. I like Shep Smith and wonder why Fox have not sacked him already, and Wallace does ask his guests those questions you would not expect to hear on Fox news.

Andaman Al Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 More gas to throw on the fire. Quote Trump Campaign Paid Lawyer Now Representing Son $50,000 in June From Reuters! https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-son-idUSKBN1A00QZ Quote WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Donald Trump's campaign paid $50,000 to the law office now representing Donald Trump Jr. a little more than a week before news surfaced of an unreported meeting with a Russian attorney that has prompted new accusations of collusion. The payment to the Law Offices of Alan S. Futerfas, dated June 27, was disclosed in a filing with the Federal Election Commission on Saturday. It was described as covering "legal consulting" fees. But Trump said he had not heard about the story until the emails were released ! Quote The campaign also paid $89,561 for "legal consulting" to The Trump Corporation, which is owned by the president. The payment was dated June 30th. The Federal Election Commission has previously ruled that candidates and federal office holders may spend campaign funds on legal fees incurred because they were a candidate. Follow the money. I bet Donald is getting quite warm now. Obviously the 'Trump Corporation' is not a legal services company, so the Trump Organisation is giving Legal Advise to it's owner and charging for it!! Trump is going down, not just impeachment, he will go to jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Trump Jr. has offered a series of evolving explanations for his meeting with the Russian lawyer — also attended by Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law and senior aide, and Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign chair — since it was first made public." "He first said the meeting was about adoptions, then acknowledged that it was set up with someone who might have useful information for his father's campaign." https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2017/07/15/trump-campaign-paid-firm-of-lawyer-representing-trump-jr-before-emails-were-made-public/?utm_term=.9c3b5fd57146 "nearly two weeks before" Appears to coincide with Kushner being notified by his lawyers that they had discovered the emails.

Trump also makes out when these fundraisers and rallies are held on Trump properties. The guy is like the teflon Don, he never has to pay for anything and always makes out...at the expense of the minions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
