Unfortunately you and your BFF's story that it was some kind of a set up by Dems is falling apart.Termin8tor » 09 Jul 2017 1:31 pm » wrote:Come on, give credit where credit is due.
Deranged Little Miss Marxist wants to play as big a role in the scam as she can.
The so-called connection between the Democrats and this Russian lawyer don't pass the smell test.
Bottom line is that Donald Jr. was willing to meet with someone from one of our foreign adversaries (Russia) with ties to the Kremlin to get dirt on Hillary.Trump's legal team blames Democrats for setting up the meeting between his campaign and a Russian lawyer.
In a statement released hours after The Times published its first story on Saturday, Trump's legal team painted the meeting as part of a Democratic effort to use Russian operatives to undermine the Trump campaign.
"We have learned from both our own investigation and public reports that the participants in the meeting misrepresented who they were and who they worked for," Mark Corallo, a spokesperson for Trump's team, said in the statement.
"Specifically, we have learned that the person who sought the meeting is associated with Fusion GPS, a firm which according to public reports, was retained by Democratic operatives to develop opposition research on the president and which commissioned the phony Steele dossier," he continued.
After the Times published its second story on Sunday, Corallo said only that “the president was not aware of and did not attend the meeting.”
The Steele dossier is an unverified report compiled by former MI6 agent Christopher Steele which contains damning and at times salacious allegations about Trump and his ties to the Kremlin.
Fusion GPS was the firm that retained Steele.
There is no evidence that Veselnitskaya is connected to Fusion GPS, but there have been unconfirmed reports in conservative media circles that Fusion's CEO, Glenn Simpson, was hired by Veselnitskaya's client, Denis Katsyv, as part of a team tasked with lobbying government officials to repeal the Magnitsky Act.
Dirt that any idiot with a functioning brain would know was obtained by spying.
I don't know what you call that, but I call it collusion with a foreign adversary, and possibly treason.
