Amazing.
Trump: “It was a great day at the White House!”
Narrator: “It was not a great day…”
Was Trump’s discussion with Putin at the G20 dinner, “about adoptions”, before or after the plane ride? The article seems to be saying that it’s as he was returning from the G20 summit, in which case…that sure looks like Trump taking orders on how to cover up his son from Putin, with assurances that his people would go along with the story.
This sums it up for me…
Oh Jesus, wow. Yeah, Kushner’s team posted the update to the security filing, the NY Times called up to ask about it sometime during the G20 trip, quite potentially before the G20 dinner, Trump admits that he talked to Putin about “adoptions” at the dinner, and then he tells Junior to go with that on the plane ride, the day after the dinner.
That’s amazingly damning.
From that Washington Post article:
Whoever wrote that deserves the rest of the week off.
Priebus isn’t wasting any time with the leaks.
So, the options, in a rational world, are:
- The President lied, using the basis of his understanding of what he and Putin talked about as cover, or
- The President received and carried out instructions given him by Putin
Did I miss one? (Please, no jokes about “Obama’s fault”, thx).
Make no mistake about it, “adoptions” is code for “sanctions.” That lawyer chick that met with Jr has been working on having the Magnitsky Act repealed for years. William Browder’s damning testimony last week lays it out clearly. Some people think this may be why Trump was tweeting about trans soldiers and Scaramucci was talking about people sucking their own cock last week, to take attention away from this.
Code word or not, Trump was asking Putin for advice on how to provide legal cover for his son, in an investigation into the connections between his family and the Russian government. The word “adoptions” is just too specific for him to not mean that he was talking about the Veselnitskaya meeting.
This is like if I hire Jack to murder my wife, he does, and then we’re both under investigation by the police, who are trying to prove that he’s a hired killer and I hired him. We say that we don’t know one another, the police say that they have phone records of us talking, and then Jack walks over to me, right in front of the police, and asks, “What should I tell them we talked about?” And I tell him, “You should tell them that we talked about Earth movers.” And then Jack walks away from me, still right there in front of the police, turns to them and announces, “We talked about Earth movers!”
And then the police look at the both of us and ask, again, “So you guys don’t know each other?” And we say back, in unison, “Nope!”
Lather, Reince, repeat!
What’s even better is that this most likely wasn’t even a privileged conversation. Since Trump and Trump Jr. use their own personal attorneys, any WH employed personnel present would most likely break privilege since they’re not represented.
Putin: Okay, let’s try this again. What’s the fucking codeword?
Trump: Hillary.
Jared: Psss, “adoptions! adoptions!”
Trump: Oh yeah, Hillary.
:rolleyes:
America-hating fuckstick in the Oval Office.
The turd in the punchbowl.
Can someone explain this to me in any normal context?
*
"Congress has given $80 million to the State Department to fight Russian propaganda and misinformation, but Secretary of State Rex Tillerson reportedly is reluctant to put it to use.
A former senior State Department official told Politico that Tillerson’s spokesman, R.C. Hammond, suggested using the money to counter Russian disinformation and propaganda would rile Moscow."*
Perhaps now we can change the title to simply “Trump coordinated with Russians”?
“Trump continues to coordinate with the Russians” may be more accurate.
A grand jury has been impaneled. Can one of our legal scholars weigh in on the significance?
IANAL, so I don’t know the legal term for “shit’s getting real”.
