After admitting (because the NY Times was about to do a story on it) to meeting with the Russian attorney, Natalia Veselnitskaya, Trump, Jr. said the topic was Russian adoptions. Not true. We now know that wasn't even close to what the meeting was really about.

In his damage control interview with Sean Hannity, Trump, Jr. said what had already been revealed is all there was to it. Not true... he left out the other guy who attended the meeting... a man by the name of Rinat Akhmetshin who Republican Senator Chuck Grassley is reported to have said was a self-admitted former Russian counter intelligence officer.

A couple of points. First, If anyone who worked for me ever repeatedly lied like that, I would fire them. Dishonesty can never be tolerated. Second, the willingness to overlook these known lies by Trump, Jr. makes it clear that politics trumps honesty for some here in the CF.

WW... show a little topic discipline... this is about Donald Trump, Jr. not being truthful. It isn't about Hillary Clinton or Loretta Lynch. Nor is it about the media. Frankly, using that meme to deflect attention on Trump Jr. for his dishonesty makes it clear you place a higher value on political loyalty than you do on honesty. Why can't you simply admit Trump Jr. is dishonest and shouldn't be trusted? Then, you could start a thread about Hillary Clinton and Loretta Lynch being dishonest, and I would post to your thread that I agree with you. Good grief!

Jimbo, are you referring to his July 8^th & 9^th statements? Or are you referring to another instance? If so, you need to back this up. And if not, you need to reconsider your statement.

This wasn’t the first time the newspaper had asked Trump Jr. about meetings with Russians. In its July 8 story, the New York Times noted that in an interview with the younger Trump back in March, he said he had never “set up” any meetings with Russians and “certainly none that I was representing the campaign in any way, shape or form.” Further, he denied that he ever discussed government policies related to Russia with any Russians. None of that is accurate.

This is one of the better timelines about, from what I can see, a whole lot of inference, supposition, assumption that ultimately amounts to not a whole helluva lot.

Frankly, I've had my fill of these "gotcha" hit piece threads, regardless of the point of origin. In the interest of full disclosure I haven't back-checked all almost 19 years of my posting on the CF (perish forbid I be accused of lying for missing a thread or two over that time span) but I'm pretty sure I haven't initiated any of these types of threads.

In the first place I find them to be self-serving; scratching the itch du jour and initiating the usual CF equivalent of WWE-I've got better things to do with my time.

Collusion requires a tangible quid pro quo; to date not an iota of fact supports that concept.

Maybe it's just as simple as some definitions are just plain Greek to some, or perhaps it's even simpler; some people require an axe to grind......

It turned out that it was nothing more than a dead end waste of time. So it wasn't a campaign-related meeting.

As desperately as you want it to be a campaign-related meeting, it wasn't. You're free to say whatever you want about it elsewhere, but stop lying about it here.

They want our two nations to get along. And I thank God for that. These idiots in our government and our press who hate Putin need to shut their mouths. They don't represent me or my desires for our nation. And they need to act like it.

There is much more at risk here than their own precious self esteem.

I'm more focused on who is in office, and what they can do instead of this faux outrage. So who's the dolt? How about the guy who is pooping his pants over the actions of someone who has no influence in our lives?

Jimbo has never commented on a single one of the many great accomplishments that Trump's been working hard to achieve for the conservative cause, despite the continual harsh barrage by the press, democrats and pseudo-conservatives.

I typically don't believe in comparing people, as we're all unique and complex individuals. But in many ways, I can draw a number of lines between what we see coming from Jimbo with what we saw here from Josh.

They're both dedicated neverTrumpers who call upon the enemies of the conservative cause to justify their stances. And they try to pass it off as common sense conservatism....

IMPEACH IT!!!"

OK, if you insist.......

I believe a couple of "flower-power" 60's liberal idiots colluded over an LSD-tripping orgy fest and you are the product of that unholy union.

And by all means, they should both be impounded......err, imprisoned......err, impeached.....

BELIEVE IT!!!

IMPEACH IT!!!"

Where is the evidence? How can we impeach our president on no evidence? Just because you "believe"?

Did you really expect a impartial answer?

Here's mine. I wouldn't trust any of them to take out my trash. Red or blue team.

Matt

DJT Jr meets with the Russian chick to get some dirt on HRC on the recommendation of a dude that was either intentionally lying, or was lied to himself. And it turned out to be BS and a waste of time & effort.

And Jr gets condemned for basically nothing, and if the rest of us don't condemn him too, then we get condemned. I expected better than this from you, Matt.
