***Official Political Discussion Thread***

I'm assuming that prior to today everyone was under the impression that campaigns did not take meetings to learn negative information about the opposing candidate.

Meetings with a lawyer who claimed to be part of the Russian governments efforts to help Donald Trump be elected.

I know you’re not this dense, though. You can’t be.

Opposition research is not the issue here, once again.

This looks to be illegal solicitation at minimum 

  

So.... it's not. The new bombshell is that Donald Trump Jr. obeyed the law... ok

I just posted at least one law he broke though...

Which he provided himself....

 

[getback]

He hired Jack McCoy from Law & Order.  David Kleinfeld

fixed.

This is a difference between just getting negative info about an opposing candidate and trying to get that negative info about an apposing candidate from a foreign government that are our enemies who said and told him (in the emails) they are looking to (and have been found) to have interfered with our democratic process in favor of one candidate over the other

 

[MVP]

You're one of the people that figured that campaigns didn't do opposition research?

There could be illegality if they determine the information is in violation of campaign finance laws. Or if the alleged lawyer was trying to solicit an exchange (removing sanctions for damaging information on Hillary). There are avenues for criminal actions.

Dude is just being intentionally obtuse

lol I was gonna quote that campaign finance law but I realized you already posted it up

Trump jr is not guilty of treason (yet) but he already did violate a law

Yeah I'm absolutely one of those people.

Dude is just being intentionally obtuse

No point trying to reason with the LIBBIE ECHO CHAMBER.

Apparently treason can only happen when we're at actual war via that fine legal analyst on CNN.

 

[whywesteppin]

And a new challenger appears...

aepps20 , let's review his application and return a decision at our midnight rally whether we will accept this guy into the coal gang. I'm liking what I'm seeing though! VROOM VROOM!

Why hasn't he been arrested? I thought that law was about financial contributions

Why hasn't he been arrested? If he broke the law. Legit lost

 

[gry60]

Idk, but why lie about it, everyday.

It's one thing to research on your opposition....it's another to collude with a foreign government and originally deny claims that you were working with them

I don’t think opposition research is the issue here.

It’s collusion wth a foreign gov’t which is pretty explicitly spelled out in the email chain.

So.... it's not. The new bombshell is that Donald Trump Jr. obeyed the law... ok

If they obeyed the law, why lie repeatedly about not having met any Russians when it comes to the campaign? Jr, Manafort, Sessions, etc... all lied about that

 

[Mark Antony]

Russia hoax huh?

 

[EddieDoyers]

dwalk31 call the FBI and ask them why they haven't arrested Don T Jr

 

[Mark Antony]

I see someone in this thread is upset that facts are out there. Never even seen this dude before NOW he's in here losing it.

EXCELLENT idea COMRADE. I'm like what I see thus far.

I don't get how he still has supporters even before don jr cheddar bob'd himself.

I guess they can't leave the cult alone trump needs them

 

[dwalk31]

If its so clear they broke the law, I'm lost as to why no one has arrested them.
