WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the ongoing investigations into possible collusion between Trump campaign associates and Russia (all times local):

12:45 p.m.

A senior Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee says emails released Tuesday by Donald Trump Jr. show that his father’s presidential campaign “sought to collude with a hostile foreign power to subvert America’s democracy.”

Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden said “the question is how far the coordination goes.” He called for lawmakers to “stand up and do their duty: protect and defend the Constitution.”

In the 2016 email exchange, President Donald Trump’s eldest son agrees to take a meeting involving what was described to him as a Russian government effort to aid his father’s campaign with damaging information about Hillary Clinton..........................


.........The New York Times reports that it was about to publish the content of the emails and had sought comment from Trump Jr. when he released the emails on Twitter.

I missed it earlier that nytimes had the emails and was going to publish them. So this is why Jr. released them.

No..I never expected another..Where the dominoes fall one after the other..slowly hitting larger and larger items until the top was knocked down too....The top..in 1974..was Nixon...

The top in 2017 is Pres Trump.and it does indeed...look similar ...from the tiny to the larger to the larger..at first, it was the Presidents advisor...forgot his name..then another advisor, then Comey was involved, then Junior....and who is left?....Well ???...maybe the daughter, ...maybe...but more likely...Trump himself..........
But..so much quicker.......
