Finding out today there was at least one or more Russian's in the meeting last June.


Can't the Trumpski's guys or better Trumpoff's ever tell the whole truth?

They don't do truth.

WASHINGTON — The Russian lawyer who met with the Trump team after a promise of compromising material on Hillary Clinton was accompanied by a Russian-American lobbyist — a former Soviet counter intelligence officer who is suspected by some U.S. officials of having ongoing ties to Russian intelligence, NBC News has learned.

Verrrrry interesting...

A GOP donor and opposition researcher who said he tried to work with Russian hackers to retrieve deleted emails from a private server used by Hillary Clinton, has died in a suicide, according to public records cited in a Chicago Tribune report.

Peter Smith killed himself days after an interview with The Wall Street Journal in which he said he sought out Russian hackers to try to retrieve some 33,000 deleted Clinton emails and pass them to Michael Flynn, then a campaign adviser to Donald Trump.

Death records from Minnesota show that Smith, 81, died in a hotel of "asphyxiation due to displacement of oxygen in confined space with helium" on May 14. Smith was found with a note that said there was "NO FOUL PLAY WHATSOEVER" regarding his death.

Smith also apologized to the authorities for his death and attributed his final decision to a "recent bad turn in health," according to the records cited by the Tribune, which reported that he also said his $5 million life insurance policy was close to expiring.

The Mayo Clinic located near the hotel in Rochester, Minnesota, declined to confirm whether Smith was a patient, the Tribune said. Smith's former associates reportedly said he was suffering from health issues and frequently complained of heart problems.

Smith gave his interview to The Journal 10 days before his death. He said he had assembled a group seeking to obtain emails Clinton deleted from the private server she used during her tenure as secretary of state. Smith implied that, when reaching out to several hacking groups, he was working with Flynn. Details on whether Flynn was involved in Smith's mission are not known. Smith told The Journal he knew Flynn but did not say whether Flynn was involved.

Smith's account is consistent with the findings from US investigators examining Russia's involvement in the 2016 US presidential election, according to sources cited by The Journal. Reports compiled by intelligence agencies say Russian hackers discussed ways to acquire emails from Clinton's server and give them to Flynn through an intermediary.

"(T)he view of America from across the Atlantic is a brew of dumbfoundedness and disgust, a creeping sense that the world’s greatest democracy is in a tailspin led by a malicious crackpot."

It seems that Europeans can see from across the pond what conservatives cannot see right in front of their own faces.

More fake news and Donnie Jr. forgot yet another small detail while being so transparent.

Donald Trump Jr. and the White House claimed he was being transparent by releasing his emails about meeting with a Russian lawyer, but the media just reported something else they may have conveniently left out.

Rinat Akhmetshin, a Russian-American lobbyist, has now confirmed to the Associated Press that he sat in on that meeting in June 2016. NBC News had reported earlier Friday that a Russian-American lobbyist was present, but hadn't used his name.
The fraudulent Trump presidency is being stripped bare thanks to our Fake News Media. Think Trump Jr. should go and hang out with Putin for a while.

I had thought that Agent Orange's position on NATO was odd all things considering, but it does make perfect sense if he is paying a campaign debt to Pootin. Much like removing sanctions when we should be applying mmore.

Here's an article portraying what kind of sleazeball this second Russian was. He had previously worked with the Fusion GPS group that helped write the infamous "dossier." So, we have a female Russian agent along with a guy likely familiar with a bunch of compromising material on Trump. What could that mean? Help elect Trump who the Russians can then play like a stooge due to the Kompromat they have on him?

Question now becomes why did ex-campaign manager Lewandoski claim yesterday that DT was campaigning in Florida the day that Donnie had his powwow with the Russian agents? If the Trump folks simply quit talking, they wouldn't have to lie so much.

Our ruling

Lewandowski said "Donald Trump was doing a rally in the state of Florida" the day his son and others met with a Russian lawyer in New York.

That’s wrong. The Florida rally was two days later on June 11.

Trump was in New York on June 9 and spoke at a fundraiser before returning to Trump Tower.

We rate Lewandowski’s claim False.
This is getting hotter and hotter by the day.
