It's not a defense, it's an explanation. Nothing that Trump jr did was illegal, unethical, or even unconventional. Trump is simply reiterating that he didn't know about the meeting until Jr went public
Easton Rogers
Don't be ridiculous.
Even Judge Nap on FOX said it was illegal.
Ryder Brown
Well then he's just a fucking idiot. Don Jr went public over a year ago and never recanted. If it were illegal he would be indicted. And so would someone in the dem camp for buying the steele dossier. But it's not illegal. Both parties use foreign oppo research every election, because they legally can.
Gavin Scott
Literally don't care. I would happily collude with Russia if it meant getting rid of you fag holes
Brandon Lewis
the trump crime family gets indicted last to keep Donnie "Two Sides" from doing something drastic before the investigation is over. hold your horses.
Bentley Baker
commie
Liam Cooper
Rediculous. It's literally not a crime. If you say otherwise, prove it. Show me what law Jr broke. And no, the logan act doesn't count, information is not a "thing of value"
Henry Moore
don't be ridiculous. Of course information is a thing of value. Judge Nap said it was illegal.
Cooper Rivera
The son definitely did some stuff that will get him in the end. Weve known about it forever though and we know Don isnt tied to it.
So its not really a defense.
Michael Rodriguez
Lawyers I know in real life and generally trust all look at the shit Jr did like its going to get him. They give non partisan opinions.
Xavier Peterson
If it were, hundreds of people would be indicted on both sides. Getting foreign oppo research is openly practiced. A "thing of value" has to have material value. If he thinks otherwise, he's arguring against the legal standard used by every federal judge since the law was passed.
Matthew Gonzalez
You don't know any fuckinglawyers you dumb asshole. You know perhaps one, a more successful family member, but unfortunately just as much of a dellusional lefty.
Dominic Myers
You can't make a deal for intelligence materials from a hostile foreign government.
It's not "just opposition research".
Get a clue. EVERYONE says that. Even Judge Nap on FOX news. Of course that was back when they had the russian adoptions story.
If it was so legal why have they been lying so much about it?
Aiden Phillips
I'm not going to live in a country that uses corporate media and rogue agencies to execute coups on the executive office and our elected representatives. If they keep pushing this then they will have to die, there is no other way around it - it will have been a choice they made. Any worthless, useless normie cocksucker that stands in the way will die too, I don't care how fucking "white" you are.
Liam Wright
Boomers are subhuman animals. I have never seen a 'people' more loathsome and treacherous than boomers, just unbelievable.
Grayson Howard

nazis arent' good people
Oliver Flores
Easily the worst leftist meme
>don jr didn't release all the emails about the meeting more than a year ago
HAHAHA OH NO NO NO HAHA
Jaxson Nelson
A great defense to a non-existent crime.
Ian Cox
wrong
Nolan Bailey
>talking to someone from a different country is illegal
No
Ayden Robinson
>You can't make a deal for intelligence materials from a hostile foreign government.
Despite the democrats best efforts, we are not at war with russia. But also, Trump jr's meeting was with russian NATIONALS not the russian GOVERNMENT. And again, the dems getting the steele dossier is literally the same thing as what trump jr was trying to do.
>Even Judge Nap on FOX news.
He's still fucking wrong.
>If it was so legal why have they been lying so much about it?
They haven't, you just can't fucking read. Trump Jr went there expecting to get dirt on hillary, and when he got there, they only talked about adoptions, nothing of real substance, so he left, unsure what their goal was.
Caleb Russell
but thats ok because they are on the right side of history
Logan Howard
>commies
>nazis
Which is it you fucking worthless boomer puke? You are openly committing sedition and declaring your own elected representatives "the enemy", and then claim others are traitors. Where do you get the balls?
Stick to watching your boomer-tube and take your pills.
Levi Young
Why did trump cancel all public appearances today?
He finally realizes he's in deep shit for admitting Fredo committed a felony.
Trying to get a strategy for damage control.
Innocent people don't do this.
Oliver Gutierrez
>hostile foreign government
Hahaha
Colton Allen
I think the current defense of “the democrats are the actual colluders” is sufficient enough.
Kinda takes the wind out of the (((media)))’s sails when they have to constantly rationalize how Fusion GPS paying a dude to literally get dirt from Russian politicians isn’t collusion, but Don Jr having a 5 minute meeting with a lawyer financially linked to Fusion GPS (lmfao) is.
Connor Reed
>Why did trump cancel all public appearances today?
Who knows? Probably not because of something legal that his son did and went public about over a year ago. He could have, I dunno a fucking cold? I have to go now, but let me leave you with this: even if trump jr had violated the logan act by his attempts to get dirt on clinton, even though that's not a violation of the logan act, Trump Sr would still not be guilty of anything, even if he knew about it at the time, which he didn't. You are wrapped in multiple layers of dellusion and you will continue to be dissapointed.
Ian Robinson
>Why did trump cancel all public appearances today?
Can't seem to find any sort of news story indicating that. Mind hoping back to r eddit and bringing a link faggot?
Carter Ramirez
He's technically correct
The weird thing is that people are talking about it now instead of a year ago when everyone knew about it
Has mueller ever talked to the Russian """"spy""""
Joshua Gomez
The Russian was working with fusion gps evidently
Justin Thomas
>or even unconventional
This. Notice that nobody gives a shit that an ex UK security services agent was funded indirectly by the Clintons to put together the pissing dossier.
Nathaniel Brooks
Then Mueller must be especially fucking incompetent, because Jr. openly says he went to the meeting and even published emails publically about what it was about. Your telling me Mueller still can't prosecute even with all that?
Chase Barnes
How can you fuck up even the simplest meme?
Jacob Sanders
Nope. Judges have ruled in the past that "thing of value" refers to material things, and they have to be expensive.
Evan Howard
how long has the president been an informant? the-american-interest.com
Brandon Hill
Why are Democrats allowed to pay a foreign agent to dig up dirt on Trump but trump jr. can't talk to a Russian? Democrats actually have a foreign agent money for dirt on political opposition. Is it only collusion if it's a country that we don't like?
Parker Mitchell
Daily reminder we knew Don Jr. was looking for Hillary dirt YEARS AGO
EVEN FUCKING CNN REPORTED ON IT OVER A YEAR AGO. IT'S FUCKING NOTHING.
(((THEY))) ARE MAKING YOU TREAD OLD WATER AND RILING UP THE PUBLIC AGAIN WITH OLD NEWS
STOP FALLING FOR (((THEIR))) TRICKS
SAGE
Chase Jackson
This shit is so tiresome....will it ever end?
Wyatt Brooks
>hostile foreign government
Firstly, we aren't at war with Russia.
Secondly, nice moving the goal posts. Since its been revealed that the Dems were colluding with the UK, Germany, and the Ukraine, they snuck the "hostile" qualifier in there.
Thirdly, this bitch wasn't representing the Russian government.
Landon King
I mean, given the 7 year boondoggle of an anthrax investigation and the court case with Concord Management? Not far from the truth.
Adam Mitchell
Bring it pal. I can't wait for you to be tossing salads and getting your butt hole prolapsed in jail.
Josiah Diaz
>Democrats directly pay Fusion GPS (a Ukrainian firm) to hire a British spy to talk to active KGB agents to get dirt on Trump
Not collusion
>Donald Trump Jr has a preliminary meeting with a lawyer of that same firm, and then decides not to hire her or move forward
Collusion!
Robert Collins
hostile is not important to the illegality.
the dems didn't try to cut deals with ANY foreign power to sway the election.
team trump did.
jail cells await.
Dylan Martinez
So your premise is that evil genius coordinated the hacking and dissemination if various sources of DNC data (podesta, dncmail, dncfiles, cffiles) aligned with the campaign cycle in a single half hour meeting with a low level russian lawyer?
that's plausible to you?
Austin Kelly
>Thirdly, this bitch wasn't representing the Russian government.
See this is the noticeable point in this whole nothingburger, notice how she is never refered to by name anymore in these stories, it's always "Kremlin connected Lawyer" because she represented government officials, at no point is it ever alleged she has a position or is employed by the Russian Government.
Nolan Williams
the email to take the meeting Jr thinks he's meeting with envoys of the Kremlin.
The email chain shows he thought it was coming from the "Crown Prosecutor" of the Kremlin.
The facts aren't on your side.
Andrew Cruz
>Doing it himself would have been much worse.
Blake Gonzalez
>
Not oppo research. Intelligence from the Russian govt to help trump win.
Jr knew this. It's why he took the meeting. They have the full email chain.
ILLEGAL
duh
sorry if you have such a short attention span.
Noah Flores
intelligence about Hillary's corrupt dealings with Russia.
So the dossier was illegal too?
Jaxson Cook
TICK TOCK
Cameron Young
No, the dossier was paying a private investigator to dig up dirt on an opponent. That IS legal. Campaigns do that all the time.
It would have been legal for trump to do it.
It is what trump is trying to conflate the russian meeting with. But it's not the same.
it doesn't make it legal just because trump says it's legal.
Details matter.
Aaron Foster
Anyone else ever struck by.how much the Trump family operates like the Bluths?
James Anderson
So where's the conviction?
Andrew Edwards
Tick Tock.
Ian Martin
>It's literally not a crime. If you say otherwise, prove it. Show me what law Jr broke
Conspiracy to commit computer crimes
Conspiracy to commit theft
Oliver Rivera
get rekt trumpets
Kevin Edwards
This information was coming from Russian government . And remember that it´s not even important that any actual information was delivered. soliciting is fine too.
Lock him up!
Parker Perez
Expect the crown prosecutor of Russia isn't Aras's son.
Emin Algarov is in no way related to Yury Chaika, the Prosecutor General of Russia since 2006.
Hm...
Zachary Bailey
Why can't Demotards understand that collusion isn't a crime. If it was and they had the evidence then Trump would have been done for long ago. All this shitetalk is about is making Trump look bad and trying to kill his approval rating in the eyes of braindead fence sitter voters.
The only way Trump could ever be found guilt of anything is if they had evidence of him going to a Russian agent himself and directly saying "yes go hack the DNC".
Austin Jackson
doesn't matter. The email says the info is coming from the Russian govt. Don Jr. didn't report this to the FBI, he took the meeting.
That is felony conspiracy right there.
trump knowing about it and not reporting it is conspiracy.
And the very stable genius just confessed.
weak sad
