***OMG***-Trump's Son Met With Russian Lawyer After Being Promised Damaging Information on Clinton





President Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., was promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton before agreeing to meet with a Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer during the 2016 campaign, according to three advisers to the White House briefed on the meeting and two others with knowledge of it.

The meeting was also attended by his campaign chairman at the time, Paul J. Manafort, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Mr. Manafort and Mr. Kushner recently disclosed the meeting, though not its content, in confidential government documents described to The New York Times.

The Times reported the existence of the meeting on Saturday. But in subsequent interviews, the advisers and others revealed the motivation behind it.

Other issues that made them 100% certain it was fake. But the thing is the info in it could be 90-100-% correct and used to inoculate the person from that accusation after the doc was shown to be false. And discredit the reporter and paper. The info itself doesn't have to be fake, in fact it's more likely to be close to a truth they want to shoot down.

He is a disgusting human being, and I hope he and the rest of his clan are punished for all their crimes.

I wish people would stop posting it. We know what they did, what they do, to animals and people.
