The Trump Organization fed a prepared statement to a publicist for Russians involved in the notorious 2016 meeting at Trump Tower on what to tell the press about what was discussed, it emerged on Wednesday.

An attorney for the Trump family’s company urged the publicist in an email to endorse Donald Trump Jr’s version of events on the meeting and said it “would be our preference” if he did not say anything else in response to inquiries.

The attorney, Alan Futerfas, also directly contacted two Russians involved in the meeting shortly before its existence was made public in the media, according to copies of emails released by Congress.

Another email showed the incoming White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci told the same publicist, Rob Goldstone, it was important that “we remain consistent and united” in the face of public pressure about the meeting.

1. Definately #TrumpCollusion here. It does not matter if they got

the goods on Hillary or not. It matters that they tried to get dirt on Hillary from a foe of the USA. Donny Jr. et al tried.

Freaking degenerate "republican family values" should get locked up in jail before they poison another soul.
