NEWSWEEK - Democrats Want to Turn Over Trump Jr. Transcripts to Mueller, Suggesting He Made False Statements to Committee

Trump Jr. met with members of the committee in September 2017 to discuss a June 2016 meeting he and other Trump campaign officials had with a Kremlin-linked lawyer. In an email proposing the meeting, Trump Jr. had been promised damning information about 2016 democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

"It is our understanding that the Committee has not shared transcripts of these interviews with the Special Counsels Office, despite the investigative relevance of their contents to that Office," Blumenthal and Whitehouse wrote in their shared release.

Compare that to right after Donald Jr. met them to talk at this meeting:

NEW YORK TIMES - Trump Jr. Says He Wanted Russian Dirt to Determine Clintons Fitness for Office

To the extent they had information concerning the fitness, character or qualifications of a presidential candidate, I believed that I should at least hear them out, he said. Depending on what, if any, information they had, I could then consult with counsel to make an informed decision as to whether to give it further consideration.

Dole is like CURRENTLY 94?

Personally, I think the Democrat to watch here is Gillibrand.

She made a point of spearheading the campaign against Frankenand went ahead stabbed at the Clintons too while she was at it. Shes probably going to become the de facto face of the Center wing of the Democratic party and until they get a charismatic socialist under the age of 80 to represent that wing of the party (ie unless Warren runs basically) , whoever wins the center lane is going to win the race.

Gillibrand had an amazing power to tell people they were wrong and it would actually make an impact. Franken stepped down and I don't think Bill's made a public speech again I know of since then.

Then she (over-reached/went for low-hanging fruit) and called out Donald to no avail. Even after his other accusers unified and Donald's affair with a porn star came out with all sorts of details, her power only worked against other Democrats.

I don't really know her politics yet, it's just been fascinating to see the moves she made since #metoo blew up.

I mean politically she's a chameleon. When she represented an upstate new york district she was fairly conservative - now that the Democratic Party is moving to the left shes moving left with them.

So she will probably get tagged with a lot of the same stuff as Hillary but without all the scandal baggage.

I think she's a lot better at thinking on her feet than Hillary was as well, but yeah a lot of similar comparisons will be drawn.

I actually do like Gillibrand a lot and she's probably my pick right now given the pool of "likely to run" Ds.

Vince says the XFL revival will have nothing to do with politics or social issues. Says he doesn't think fans want to deal with things of a political nature while watching football. They just want good football.

In addition to this, Vince McMahon says the players will have rules in regards to the national anthem that players have to abide by.

The candidate said that he hoped his daughters do not grow up to be career obsessed banshees who forgo home life and children and the happiness of family to become nail-biting manophobic hell-bent feminist she devils who shriek from the top of a thousand tall buildings they are [SIC] think they could have leaped in a single bound had men not been suppressing them.

Jesus said love our neighbors as ourselves but never told Caesar how to run Rome-he never said Roman soldiers should turn the other cheek in battle or that Caesar should allow all the barbarians to be Roman citizens or that Caesar should tax the rich to help poor. Thats our job.


I'm unfortunately not super well versed in exactly when Jesus began preaching, but I'm pretty sure Caesar was dead well before Jesus came onto the scene.

That's ignoring the other issues with this statement from the president of liberty university, of course.
