Pop star, promoter, prosecutor: The cast of Trump Jr. email http://www.wral.com/pop-star-promoter-prosecutor-the-cast-of-trump-jr-email/16819662/ A billionaire real estate mogul, his pop singer son and a music promoter. A property lawyer and Russia's prosecutor general. These unlikely figures populate the emails released by Donald Trump Jr. as his father's presidential campaign sought potentially damaging information in June 2016 from Russia about his opponent, Hillary Clinton. In the emails, sent shortly after Donald Trump secured the GOP nomination, music publicist Rob Goldstone wrote to connect the younger Trump to Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya. The emails show Goldstone telling Trump that singer Emin Agalarov and his father, Moscow-based real developer Aras Agalarov, had "helped along" the Russian government's support for Donald Trump. Goldstone also mentioned that a Russian prosecutor offered to provide the information on Clinton to the campaign. Goldstone mentioned Russia's "crown prosecutor," but may have been referring to Russia's top justice official, Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika, the equivalent of the U.S. attorney general.

Off course he knew , all of the top people knew. Trump even promised to make a major speech within a few days exposing all of the horrid stuff Hillary was involved in. In that announcement the applause from his base was deafening. Donald Trump held press conference promising more dirt on Clinton hours after Donald Trump Jr's Russia emails In a series of emails sent in June 2016, President Trump's eldest son discussed setting up a meeting with a Kremlin-connected lawyer Hours after Donald Trump Jr confirmed a meeting with a Russian lawyer to discuss information on Hillary Clinton, his father promised to make a speech with new information about his former rival for the US presidency. “I think you’re going to find it very informative and very very interesting,” the US leader said, adding that it would likely take place next week. "We are going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the Clintons," he said. His comments came after his son released emails relating to his previously undisclosed meeting last summer with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, who has been linked to the Kremlin. He said "I love it" to what he had been told was an attempt by the Russian government to undermine Hillary Clinton's presidential election campaign.
Russian officers no less were also at that meeting. Apparently , Fredo was ignorant of that fact. Ex-Soviet Military Officer Joined Trump Jr.’s Meeting With Russian Lawyer: Reports Trump Jr.’s attorney told NBC News that his client hadn’t been aware of the lobbyist’s background at the time of the meeting. A Russian-American lobbyist, who is also a former Soviet military officer, was in the room during a June 2016 meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer, according to multiple reports. Rinat Akhmetshin participated in the meeting, he confirmed to The Associated Press on Friday after NBC News first reported that a Russian-American lobbyist was present when Trump Jr. met with Natalia Veselnitskaya.
Just three days ago "Trump Jr., July 11: You know, I don’t even know. I’ve probably met with other people from Russia … not in the context of actual — a formalized meeting or anything like that because why would I?" http://www.factcheck.org/2017/07/donald-trump-jr-s-evolving-statements/
Trump Jr. and Kushner find politics a rougher game than real estate It is no surprise the Trump family keeps running afoul of the rules of politics and government. After all, they have lived and thrived in a very different milieu — the world of New York City real estate. In that world, it is perfectly normal to say things like, “Don’t worry, we’ll pay you for your work,” even if you don’t mean it. Or to say, “Trump Tower is 68 stories tall,” even though it rises to only 58. Or to promise, “You’ll get a great business education for your money,” even though you are pitching the bogus Trump University. In that world, it is not unusual to take meetings with unsavory characters, like Mafia bosses who become peripheral business partners or Russian mobsters who launder their ill-gotten gains by purchasing a few of your pricey condominiums. http://www.latimes.com/opinion/topoftheticket/la-na-tt-junior-kushner-20170713-story.html?ref=yfp
I was watching an old episode of the Mary Tyler Moore show yesterday, and something occurred to me that should have been obvious a long time ago. Donald Trump is, for all intents and purposes, the reincarnation of Ted Baxter: Others beat me to this realization, though: http://www.sltrib.com/opinion/4868895-155/letter-ted-baxter-is-funny-donald https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/5/27/1531574/-WHO-SAID-IT-TED-BAXTER-OR-DONALD-TRUMP
Trump goes ballistic against Sessions , Warns Mueller. Donald Trump Criticizes Jeff Sessions For Recusing Himself From Russia Probe He also went after Robert Mueller, James Comey and Rod Rosenstein. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...4b0110cb3cb8a9a?otq&ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009
"Trump also warned federal investigators against looking into his family’s financial interests beyond those tied to Russia." “I think that’s a violation,” he said. “Look, this is about Russia.” Doesn't work that way Donny.Bill Clinton's special council investigation started over WhiteWater but led to the Monica scandal.Its certainly possible Muellers investigation will led to Trump criminality beyond Russia.
Heh, ya think? Little chance that he will focus on anything else. After all, his mission is to even the score for what Trump did to his homey comey.
