Politics Donald Trump Jr just confessed to Trump campaign election fraud

You didn't answer my question, just deflected into a screed about governing style.

If someone so bent out of shape about this Trump Jr. thing, they should REALLY be upset about the Trump Dossier, which isn't a 20 minute meeting about nothing - it's weeks' of paid for research to a foreign investigator who used Russian sources. The facts known about it are hard facts.

I for one think ANYONE governing is better than the alternative the Dems offered.

I don't care for his governing style. Some of the things he's doing and wants to do, I am for, others I am not for.

If he takes a hatchet to government and reigns in the deficits, no amount of politics of personal destruction matters.

 

Here's the thing. I am not bitching about the legality or morality of what the Clinton campaign did. Though if she were elected, all sorts of these things (and worse) would simply be swept under the rug amid another (talk about blinders!) love fest for the Democrat.

My gripe is that it was made public without any basis of fact behind the accusations in it. And the collusion between the Democrats and the deep state.

Let the Democrats do their worst. Keep government independent of it all.

 

And we go around in circles. There wouldn't be a war in Syria if not for Obama/Clinton.

 

Not following the argument here. So Jeb Bush's team hired a Brit to dig up dirt on Trump. The Brit got some dirt by talking to Russians. The research ended up being distributed to various others and eventually made public.

Which part of that do you think is illegal or unethical, and who is to blame for that part?

Fixed it for you, and yes, it's our fault.

 

Clinton's team hired a Brit to dig up dirt on Trump.

Distributing foreign "intelligence" against a candidate seems to be what your kind think is treason.

Geez.

 

Pretty sure it was Jeb Bush who hired the Brit. But anyway, distributing foreign intelligence is not (a) what Trump Jr did (so far as we know now) and (b) not something Clinton did either (so far as we know now).

So I still don't see your point.

At the time of the October agreement, FBI officials probing Russian activities, including possible contacts between Trump associates and Russian entities, were aware of the information that Steele had been gathering while working for a Washington research firm hired by supporters of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, according to the people familiar with the agreement. The firm was due to stop paying Steele as Election Day approached, but Steele felt his work was not done, these people said.

This week’s revelations about Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Russian lawyer have shined a new spotlight on a small Washington opposition research firm that worked with her on a legal case for years and then subsequently commissioned a dossier full of salacious allegations of the Russian government’s attempts to collude with the Trump presidential campaign.

The firm, Fusion GPS, will be one subject of a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing next week that was planned well before the story broke of Trump Jr.’s June 2016 meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya. Fusion GPS says it had no involvement in the meeting although it did work on a lawsuit that involved Veselnitskaya for more than two years.

...

“Specifically, we have learned that the person who sought the meeting is associated with Fusion GPS, a firm which according to public reports, was retained by Democratic operatives to develop opposition research on the president and which commissioned the phony Steele dossier,” Corallo said in a statement.

 

Distributing foreign intelligence is what the Clinton campaign did. The dossier was developed by british and Russian spies.

 

Could be. I haven't seen that reported, but I'm not saying they didn't. In any case that's a different thing than what Trump has admitted to.

Could be. I haven't seen reported that Russian Spies were involved, but maybe they were.

In any case, even if Hillary had done exactly what Trump Jr. did, doesn't your argument boil down to 'But she did it too!'?
