Board 8 > Politics Containment Topic 111: But, His Emails

(+) Yeah! (+)

I don't think anyone seriously thinks Trump will be impeached. The Republican party are too cowardly to do that.

Do tell me this: What crime exactly was committed by Don Jr. here?

For one, Obstruction of Justice by not providing this information the first time he was subpoena'd for it by a federal investigation.

pfft whatever

name three more crimes. It only counts if he did at least four crimes.
---

So sounds like Donald Trump Jr. Is probably guilty of some sort of crime (i think) and will be probably just get pardoned by his father I guess?
---

Yeah I do think nothing will happen to Trump himself, but Junior is in hot water right now and The Kush isn't looking much better,
---

This goes back to my assertion that Trump really is not gonna rerun is he?

Kushner is hypothetically in deeper doo-doo here since he has an actual role in the administration and never disclosed this until now.

I'd like to briefly interrupt this dumpster fire to say 'fuck you' to Ted Cruz and his garbage BCRA amendment:

Obstruction, Collusion, Espionage, Treason. That's four.

Yes, Espionage and Treason are separate.

I think it depends on 2018. If there's a Dem swing I think he'll bail.

Again, he registered his re-election campaign the day he was inaugurated. He is going to run unless he is impeached or dead.

I think you're right, but I wouldn't be surprised if he says he is long enough to prevent Republicans from cultivating a good replacement.

Not to screw the GOP, but because he's selfish and wants all that campaign money / attention he gets.

Right now there's a group of about 9 GOP senators holding out against the BCRA, either because it's too far to the right or not far enough. The longer those holdouts are in Washington, the more time Mitch and his cronies have to work on them; the more time said holdouts spend in their home states, the more they'll hear about how their constituents don't want the bill to pass.

...Again with no sources.

I dunno why you feel it's necessary to be so passive aggressive when we posted links directly to the source, Donald Trump Jr himself, in the last topic, and related links in the first page of this topic.

Would you have an easier time participating if every subsequent post linked directly to the original source so you don't have to do even the most basic amount of reading to catch up?

Come the fuck on, dude.

Corrik ascertains what annoys people and then does those things over and over. It was amusing for a while but I'm bored by it now.

Vlado posted...

lmao, you guys really live in an alternate reality. In 7 years, you'll probably still be going "Trump will be impeached ANY DAY NOW!"

Nothing in the e-mails incriminates Trump or his son in any way. Some American lawyer offered Don Jr. to meet some person who was supposedly from the Russian government and had some information on Clinton. However, that claim turned out to be bullshit, as the person is not in any way connected with the Russian government, nor did she give any information about Clinton. In the end, Don Jr. met some random person, and it was likely just a set up in the first place, so that you could see this ridiculous story.

Do tell me this: What crime exactly was committed by Don Jr. here?

He committed globalism

I just don't think you know how the court system works. If someone says they want to rob a store. Take a gun to a store. Intend to rob the store. But do not rob the store, they are not guilty of robbery.

I think Trump JR is prob guilty of something. Just not what you bolded in your post.

Assange was never about transparency. He's always been about his agenda. Snowden was about transparency.

You were singing a very different tune when Assange was releasing documents revealing Dubya's wrongdoings... Sucks to be on the losing side, eh?

In the campaign? Of course he was! That's why he's co-ordinating with Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager at the time, to attend the meeting. And he did!

And now Manafort is saying "yes I got this email and yes I went to the meeting but I never read it so I had no idea that this lawyer was supposedly with the Russian government."

This. It most certainly proves intent, which is 90% of the law here and is in fact a crime all by itself as any episode of To Catch a Predator will tell you

Just like how in reverse. Clinton's saving grace was no one could prove intent and the evidence instead proved incompetence

To be fair though, I ordered Chinese broccoli one time and the restaurant brought me a 10 y/o girl. I was confused and ended up leaving. I was going to give the place 1 star on yelp but they said I didn't have to pay for my drinks, so I bumped it up to 2 stars

Question.

They said that the meeting ended up being about adoption and that the claim to have dirt on Hillary was used as a way to schedule a meet.

Do we have any proof that the meeting ended up actually being about adoption?
