This says nothing about the Russian government.

Is this the email you are referring to?

Seems to be.

 

[townsend]

This says nothing about the Russian government.

"This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump"

 

[L.T. Fan]

Seems to be.

There is no reference to the Russian government being involved it is typical campaign trash gathering via a Russian lawyer.

 

[L.T. Fan]

"This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump"

Show me. You are doing the same thing the media is and twisting it to appear to be something else.

The media isn't twisting anything. This implication is clear as day, you just want to believe it's something else.

Goldstone indicated he thought the information on Hillary and her dealings with Russia would be damming to her. Goldstone went on to imply it might be information from the Russians who would like to help the Trump campaign.

Nothing was done to follow up.

Read the email as it is presented and by who. Then find what happened subsequently.

Except a meeting was scheduled, and Jr, Manafort, and Kushner went to the meeting.

Goldstone clearly contacted Jr. on behalf of Russia. Russia offered to collaborate with Jr., expressed a wish to help the campaign, Jr. enthusiastically agreed. There's no way this isn't collusion.

I'm sure if the exact same circumstances were in place yet Hillary were the nominee in question and Chelsea were the one taking the meeting set up by people with ties to the Russian government you'd have the exact same opinion. Such a noble purveyor of truth and justice you are.

None of what you just said is collusion. You may need to research the legal term more.

 

[townsend]

None of what you just said is collusion. You may need to research the legal term more.

Maybe I misused common definition of "secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy."

I'm not sure where the legal definition diverges. But on it's face it's Jr accepting aid from an agent, reportedly representing the Russian government, wishing to benefit their campaign.

Whenever people have been talking about "collusion" for the last several months, that was what we were talking about. Cooperative relationship between Russia and the Trump campaign in an attempt to help Trump get elected.

Meeting with who? Russian Government officials?

Good morning

Emin just called and asked me to contact you with something very interesting.

The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with his father Aras this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father.

This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump - helped along by Aras and Emin.

What do you think is the best way to handle this information and would you be able to speak to Emin about it directly?

I can also send this info to your father via Rhona, but it is ultra sensitive so wanted to send to you first.

Hope all is well

Emin asked that I schedule a meeting with you and The Russian government attorney who is flying over from Moscow for this Thursday.

I believe you are aware of the meeting - and so wondered if 3pm or later on Thursday works for you?

I assume it would be at your office.

The circumstances aren't that. No one I am aware of met with Russian government officials. That's the part that is being assumed. If you can identify Russian government officials then you have something otherwise it is just typical dirt gathering stuff for political campaigns.

 

[townsend]

There's no way of telling that the smoking gun was smoking because it was fired. That's just a media assumption, the gun might have mearly been enjoying a cigarette.

Don't be obtuse, you lived through the Cold War, you know how these clandestine types of things go. When it comes to soft corruption like this everybody knows that nations act through intermediaries like this woman who was previously married to a Russian government official, who advocates for Russian interests and who has ties to Russian state-owned businesses. Not to mention the guy who wanted to set up the meeting in the first place is the son of a guy who is well known to have close ties to Putin.

It's fine though, we'll wait until Mueller's report comes out since it seems you're incapable of connecting dots that are clear to anybody without an agenda.

He'll say Mueller is part of teh democrat conspiracy just like Comey.

 

[townsend]

So should we assume Donald sr. had no knowledge of this exchange? That a meeting scheduled in his building with the largest figures in his campaign, occurred without him knowing about Russia wanting to help him?

If not, his steadfast refusal to accept our intelligence agencies word on Russian interference is even more problematic.
