Robby Mook Hits Trump Jr.s Meeting with Russian Lawyer: When Do We Stop Giving the Benefit of the Doubt?
by Ken Meyer | 10:23 pm, July 9th, 2017
In light of the news about Donald Trump Jr., Hillary Clintons former campaign manager wants to know how much longer Republican leaders will disregard any apparent ties between President Trump and Russia.
Robby Mook reacted on CNN to the revelations that the presidents son met with a Kremlin lawyer who promised him information that could help hurt Clinton. Mook argued that the list of questions about Trump and Russia continues to grow, and GOP congresspeople need to think about the policy implications for Trumps warm relationship with Vladimir Putin.
I think, in particular, Republican leaders in Congress need to start asking themselves at what point do we stop giving the benefit of the doubt here, Mook asked. Somebody needs to step up and say enough is enough and the Trump Administration has to clean house, it has to get rid of conflicts of interest, and somebodys got to step in and make sure that our foreign policy is not being overtaken by Russian influence.
Mook continued to say that the lawyer in question, Natalia Veselnitskayas, relationship to the Kremlin and antagonism towards Clinton should have given the presidents campaign staff pause ahead of the meeting. Mook also stated it was frightening to consider how high-ranking members of the presidents orbit changed their story after claiming they never met with the Russians for campaign reasons.

WTF is it going to take for Democrats to speak the plain truth about this situation. On one hand you talk about stopping with the "benefit of the doubt" shit and then you talk about the administration "cleaning house."
This is TREASON. What house cleaning? THEY ALL HAVE TO GO and NOW.

But nooooooo - they just can't resist weighing with some stupid, easily disproven lie, then changing the story, and changing the story. The stupidity of these people is just incredible.
Mr Mook, there is no clean-up their act, no clean house for the Trump family. They are liars, cheats, embezzlers, fraudsters, criminals, money-launderers, traitors, and stupid.
