    Suspicious round-sum cash payments on either end of the meeting by the Russian lobbyist involved, plus payments to him from someone whose company potentially committed tax fraud in laundering $230M?

    Man, even if Trump isn't involved Donnie Jr. looks more and more "proper fucked" with each breaking story.
    Honestly id wager this money is just from some other completely unrelated corruption. Given the character quality of everyone involved in the dumpster fire that is this administration its safe to assume everyone is doing an armful of different shady shit all at once.

    Akhmetshin is well-known lobbyist.

    Sufficiently well-known to have his own wiki page.

    Which says 'In July 2016, an article in Radio Free Europe stated: "Barely registering in U.S. lobbying records, the 48-year-old Akhmetshin has been tied to efforts to bolster opponents of Kazakhstan's ruling regime, discredit a fugitive former member of Russia's parliament, and undermine a Russian-owned mining firm involved in a billion-dollar lawsuit with company information allegedly stolen by hackers." '
    And
    ' On August 11, 2017, Akhmetshin testified under oath for several hours in a grand jury investigation related to Robert Mueller's investigations into the Trump campaign and Russian interference in the 2016 election.[25][26] '

    So, whatever it was, it is likely already known and far from "breaking".

    Ugh.

    I clicked on that and not only did I have to listen to Hannity's voice, there was a picture of Tomi Lahren.

    I feel violated.

    Also Hannity's a dumbass, ranting about the deep state and conspiracies. Fox has no credibility so long as they continue to air his ravings or publish his blog.

    I just want to say how proud of you guys I am. 3 Schlacker posts on this page and no one has commented or quoted them. This how he needs to be handled. If no one feeds him, he will have no power.

    So let's talk about the Trump inaugural committee.

    They're fucked.

    They've been subpoena'd for campaign contributions from foreign sources laundered through Americans. And we know for a fact they'll find some, as Mueller already has Butina.

    Well gosh, it's strange that all these entities with 'Trump' in their name keep running into legal trouble. WOW! What odd coincidences.

    May not necessarily be Mueller related.

    If it isn't Mueller related, that might be even worse for Trump. There is a very good chance this is a broader investigation into his entire business life, and is in no way bound by the constraints of Mueller's mandate. Because even if you can't indict the President, you can certainly investigate his businesses and his money.

    Hope unannounced super PAC (code for NRA) gets destroyed with them.

    How much would it cost you for a book on self control so you can stop caving in on the craving to engage with him?

    I know we're all so flooded with the lies and mistruths from the Trumpistas, but you will recall that at one point Trump claimed to never have had any dealings with Russia, ever.

    House Intelligence Committee votes to send transcripts of their Russia probe interviews to Mueller. About 50 or so.

    "Purely along partisan lines, I'm sure."

    Actually, the vote was unanimous.

    Mueller will now have access to nonpublic transcripts of closed-door interviews with Donald Trump Jr., Hope Hicks, Jared Kushner, Michael Cohen, Corey Lewandowski and others that were conducted when Republicans on the committee were running the Russia probe.

    It will allow Mueller to compare what witnesses said about key events, such as the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between Trump Jr., Kushner, former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.

    The documents also catalogue interviews with several Obama administration officials, including former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates. They also include transcripted interviews with a number of current and former Trump administration officials, including former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats.
    The fact that nobody objected is significant. You might say...there was Nunes objecting? Um...second to Nunes...Nunes of the above...I swear, I had something for this...

    "It's noon. Go get coffee."

    Yeah okay.

    House minority whip joins Trump's call to end investigations.

    It might have something to do with him being the minority whip.

    Just a reminder: you don't get to say "the rules are unfair" only because you're losing.
