Russians transmitted DNC documents to Donald Trump Jr. at his collusion meeting


{excerpt}
Days after Donald Trump Jr. hosted a group of Russians at Trump Tower promising to deliver damaging information on the Democratic National Committee and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, a hacker believed connected to the Russian government released a trove of documents online ― including ones that sound similar to those reportedly provided to Trump Jr.

Ranit Akhmetshin, a Russian American lobbyist and former Soviet counterintelligence officer, told The Associated Press on Friday he took part in the meeting on June 9, 2016, along with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya. Akhmetshin said Veselnitskaya brought a folder full of documents, which he said she left behind after the meeting.

The documents detailed the Democratic National Committee’s finances and funding sources, some of which Veselnitskaya described as unlawful, Akhmetshin told the AP.

It seems that the Russians actually DID transfer document at the meeting. The collusion seems to be almost well enough established now to stand up in a court of law.

Mini-Trump has lied so much about the meeting that we should assume his statements denying anything substantive about the meeting are lies too.

These guys lie like lying is a bodily function FFS.

Of COURSE the Russian's gave him something, and he's FUCKING LYING because that's ALL THESE PEOPLE DO.

EVER.

These documents were 'proof of concept', e.g. 'See, we've already hacked DNC, and this is the kind of stuff we can get for you to help you with election'.

And further, 'We do for you in exchange for killing the sanctions and letting Prevezon off the hook when you get elected. Oh, and also Ranit here will give you the one and only copy of pee tape, which he has in his possession ... once your end of our deal is upheld. Until then, we promise to keep safe, out of hands of media! Do we have DEAL?'
