    TBF, his law career seemed to consist of insurance scans, fronting for taxi medallion crooks, steering his father-in-law’s mobbed-up friends to buy Trump condos, and doing NDAs for David Dennison.-

    I mean, dude is clearly a crook, so I have no problem seeing him get his comeuppance, but I don’t judge him for the recordings of Trump. He knew perfectly well that Trump would cut him loose holding the bag if push came to shove.

    It may have cost him a presidential pardon on the federal charges.

    From Slate article on timeline of denials.


    June 3, 2016: Trump Jr. receives an email offering “information that would incriminate Hillary” as “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”

    June 8: Trump Jr. forwards the email thread to Kushner and Manafort.

    June 9: Date of the meeting. Trump Jr. now says the information offered was not of interest and that the meeting focused on the lawyer’s desire to change adoption-related sanctions against Russia.

    *****************
    It appears that it took Junior 5 days to realize that he had the Russian offer sitting in his Inbox, or maybe it took him 5 days to decide that instead of protecting Kush and Manafort by telling them in person, he would leave the evidence in their computers too. No need to go down alone.

    That’s the funniest thing about it. It should tell you everything you need to know about Trump’s judgement.

    That's not collusion related. A lot of central banks and other bond investors are starting to realize that the combination of rising inflation and large and growing deficits does not make for a positive environment for bonds.

    hmmm...five top people from the Trump campaign (including Rick Gates) held a meeting two days ahead to plan strategy for the "adoptions" meeting at Trump Tower.

    we could name at least 5 ( present and past ) seemingly intelligent posters - on this board alone - that have argued the same

    When is someone ON AIR gonna point out that no matter what Michael Cohen says or does, he'll still have more credibility than Guilinani.

    actually it is a push between Cohen and Trump Jr or Sr

    but it is unlikely to come down to just one person's word against another

    This point has been made more than one during the course of this thread, but let’s just recap:

    1. No meetings with Russians
    2. Well, we did meet with Russians, but there was no collusion.
    3. Well, maybe there was collusion, but Trump wasn’t involved.
    4. Well, maybe Trump was involved, but it wasn’t criminal

    They’re running out of space to retreat to.

    Don't forget the subset for #2

    A) we did meet with the Russians for opposition research but they had nothing of substance.

    B) we did meet with the Russians but it was nothing more than about adoptions.

    so...

    5) the crimes were little technical violations of laws no one knew about

    6) Hillary and the Dems did the same or worse

    7) Yeah, maybe a few laws were broken but it wasn't treason

    8) So what if it was treason, Mueller didn't pay his golf club dues

    I have to give you major props for taking the time to do that. I read the amazon reviews earlier... just not enough time in the day for me to listen to it.
