Russian Dirt on Clinton? ‘I Love It,’ Donald Trump Jr. Said

By JO BECKER, ADAM GOLDMAN and MATT APUZZOJULY 11, 2017

The June 3, 2016, email sent to Donald Trump Jr. could hardly have been more explicit: One of his father’s former Russian business partners had been contacted by a senior Russian government official and was offering to provide the Trump campaign with dirt on Hillary Clinton.

The documents “would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father,” read the email, written by a trusted intermediary, who added, “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”

If the future president’s elder son was surprised or disturbed by the provenance of the promised material — or the notion that it was part of an ongoing effort by the Russian government to aid his father’s campaign — he gave no indication.

He replied within minutes: “If it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer.”

Four days later, after a flurry of emails, the intermediary wrote back, proposing a meeting in New York on Thursday with a “Russian government attorney.”

1. Did he get dropped on his head?

I mean, that's VERY damning.

[Pacifist Patriot]

14. Seriously!

I knew this bunch were idiotic, but this is just too jaw-droppingly stupid for words. His mobbed-up lawyer has got to be having a coronary about now.

[Blue_Tires]

37. What really scares me is this is the kind of clumsy, bumbling indifference

people show when they're convinced they won't get in trouble or have to face the consequences of their actions

[Maeve]

40. There you go! Consequences are for little people

Not for someone born with a golden T in his mouth.

[asiliveandbreathe]

2. Not to give Fredo a pass..but did the russians hack his email or is it from

inside the WH - no one is this stupid...right????

[Bradical79]

44. Jr. released the emails himself on Twitter -nt

[Shell_Seas]

3. I was just about to post this.

Statement: "The woman was not a government official"

2nd email page: "Erin asked that I schedule a meeting with you and the Russian Government attorney."

....It's in the same damn Tweet.

This:

4. What's the catch here?

What are we missing here?? Did he just basically confess and offer tangible proof at the same time??

[Cosmocat]

6. I mean ...

uh, yeah?

[maxrandb]

19. I think that what we are missing here

is that they are about to pass their fucked up "wealthy"-care plan.

I would not put it past the fucking treasonous bastards.

Some of these Russian National Committee (RNC) pricks and ReTrumplican dickheads need to go to fucking Federal "pound you in the ass" Prison.

[Corvo Bianco]

29. Ugh. Ryan/McConnell telling Jr. to tweet the emails is certainly a sickening thought.

Please let it just be unprovoked stupidity.

[obamanut2012]

47. Yes, he did -- but either doesn't think he did, or doesn't think he'll get in trouble

[Dopers_Greed]

5. He's using this to cover up worse

Probably an agreement to sink the money laundering investigations in exchange for help in the election

[FarPoint]

16. I think you are on to something....

Look at how casually comfortable they are conversing...olde pals tone...yes, I believe there is much more prior conversation data that is deep.

[Qutzupalotl]

26. He can deflect and distract the media, but he can't stop the FBI.

[Achilleaze]

7. Junior's republican-russian pal, "Rob" (hint, hint) Goldstone

freaking republicans pissing on America and American democracy. Disgusting.

[jmbar2]

18. Living proof of human-pig hybrids

As reported on infowars.

[Achilleaze]

27. republican-russian soul rot

with many gallons of vodka

[Hieronymus]

31. For sure

[dalton99a]

42. +1

[riversedge]

8. NYT article on this issue: Russian Dirt on Clinton? I Love It, Donald Trump Jr. Said....

Donny Jr. seems obvious to the fact that he is dealing with a foreign adversary of the US
! He is as much of an idiot as Trump Sr!!

Lots of detail in this article.

9. What part is the smoking gun?

[Adrahil]

23. Seriously?

Did you read them?

[Not Ruth]

35. I did

[Not Ruth]

36. 20committee is Team Patriot verified as an NSA spook specializing in Russian counter intelligence

[awesomerwb1]

50. I could be wrong but isn't this the same guy

who was sending pics of his junk?

Please tell me "Team Patriot" is not Mensch/Taylor??

[Not Ruth]

51. Beats me and yes

Still NSA spook

[muriel_volestrangler]

25. "part of Russia and its governments support for Mr. Trump"

So Trump Jr. knew the Russian government was supporting Trump in material ways. And he doesn't question "part of" - which says there are other parts to it, and Donny wasn't surprised by that. He just invites the campaign manager and Trump's son-in-law to hear this part.

[GhostofJFK]

38. Trump jr needs to be impeached immediately

[obamanut2012]

49. stop

[obamanut2012]

48. lulz

[Renew Deal]

10. The older emails are still missing

[jpak]

11. But the font is wrong - it's Fake News

It's a madhouse!

[cyndensco]

13. That's what they suggested on The View.

They said it may be a set up so the left bites and the WH can say, "See. Fake news!"

Whoopi mentioned Rachel Maddow's report last week about fake documentation floating around and warned that this tweet might be that.

They also wondered why jr's new attorney would allow him to tweet this whether real or fake.

Regardless, they agreed this is going to piss of Mueller et al.

It IS a madhouse!

[iluvtennis]

12. I don't believe anything coming from Trumpland. Too easy to fabricate stuff. Wait on Mueller

[Ligyron]

15. That's what I'm thinking.

We sure don't need to get the Dan Rather treatment.

[displacedtexan]

17. There's only one reason for Fredo to release this email chain.

Someone else was about to release it first, and it would be slightly better for Fredo to release it and get out ahead of the story.

My guess is that someone from the NYT called for a comment before running this story, and Fredo's lawyer advised his client to release the info first.

I think Goldstone could be the weak link in this whole, ponderous chain of Russian/Trump activity.

[Adrahil]

20. So it looks like he was trying to preempt the NYT

MSNBC is reporting that the NYT intended to publish the emails and asked Junior for comment. He did not reply and published them himself, presumably to try and control the narrative.

[meadowlander]

45. Or he's laying the groundwork

for his "I'm the dumbest motherfucker on the planet" legal defense.

[neohippie]

21. This is a clear violation of campaign finance laws

Discussed in this article I posted in another LBN thread that got closed down, for being less than twelve hours old

https://www.justsecurity.org/42956/open-door-moscow-facts-potential-criminal-case-trump-campaign-coordination-russia/

[Not Ruth]

22. Schiff needs to lock down the Russian spy lawyer and offer her a deal

Junior comes across as stupid, really really stupid. Too stupid to be able to explain what was happening here, since he still does not appear to understand. This whole thing is classic Russian spy recruiting. So ask the Russian spy lawyer about what was happening.

[Not Ruth]

24. 3 people leaked the email to the NY Times

Besides Junior, there are only 3 other people on the email.

That means Jared, Manafort and Goldstone all leaked this email to the NY Times.

[herding cats]

30. Or, someone on their staffs with access to the information?

I've had access to my employer's emails several different times before in the past. Which makes that another possible avenue of the release to the NYT.

[bora13]

28. sad but true downside

to all of this comeuppance.
You know damn well the hard-tRumpians will
lash out at something.

[Hieronymus]

32. Thank God for the NYT.

They threatened to publish the emails .. so Jr. did.

[Paladin]

33. Fredo trump says "I love it".....

....and they want us to believe that trump senior had no knowledge of all this while it was going down? BullSHIT. Fredo passed every shred of this on, saying "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Lookie what I did for you!" Treasonous motherfuckers.

And I love how the media keeps comparing all this to what Al Gore did with a Bush playbook that fell into his hands: Gore turned it over to the FBI immediately, without opening it---like he damned well should have.

[aquamarina]

34. You know Donnie Two Scoops is just going to pardon them.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

39. Maybe he thinks daddy has the get out of jail free card.

[eezapata]

41. can somebody be that stupid??? please do not answer.

the apple does not fall far from the tree.

[canetoad]

43. The smoking gun

Is that this is nowhere near the *full email chain. Those symbols on the left of the text - >
one for each reply.

[obamanut2012]

46. His attorney probably just fainted -- what the actual hell

These people are so fucking stupid, it is mindboggling.

Why is he not being arrested??? Or condemned by EVERYONE in Congress???

[SWBTATTReg]

52. These are the missing emails

I know Trump has been saying where is HC's missing emails, Russia, pls. find them, etc., etc., etc.
Looks like Trump was wrong on who's missing the emails, and forgot to look under his own rocks for the 'missing' emails. Ha!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

53. Sure sounds like treason to me!! String 'em all up!!

[muriel_volestrangler]

54. I missed this - Charles Pierce says Donny forwarded the emails to Kushner and Manafort, so they knew

as well that this was billed as the Russian government trying to influence the American election for them.

---snip---
The email chain makes clear that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government. Further, it also makes plain that not only Junior, but also Manafort and Kushner knew the campaign had done so because Junior was kind enough to forward the emails to them. He incriminated himself. He incriminated the other two. He made a lie out of practically everything that the Trump camp has said on the subject for over a year. He landed a clean shot below the waterline of his father's administration. Again, I thought of Nixon, standing behind a podium in the White House, while the tape from June 23, 1972 unspooled to an eager world, and then telling the assembled press corps, "See? It's just like I said. I'm not involved." It also was announced that Junior would appear with Sean Hannity on Tuesday night. I fully expected Junior to show up on the set dressed as an evil boyar from an Eisenstein film.
