monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Mr. Goldstone represents the Russian pop star Emin Agalarov, whose father was President Trump’s business partner in bringing the Miss Universe pageant to Moscow in 2013. In an interview Monday, Mr. Goldstone said he was asked by Mr. Agalarov to set up the meeting with Donald Trump Jr. and the Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya.

But Mr. Goldstone, who wrote the email over a year ago, denied any knowledge of involvement by the Russian government in the matter, saying that never dawned on him. “Never, never ever,” he said.

In the interview, he said it was his understanding that Ms. Veselnitskaya was simply a “private citizen” for whom Mr. Agalarov wanted to do a favor.

It is unclear whether Mr. Goldstone had direct knowledge of the origin of the damaging material. One person who was briefed on the emails said it appeared that he was passing along information that had been passed through several others.

Accepting information from a foreign government that might be helpful to your campaign is not illegal, he added.

You don't need to attend bottom-feeding school to figure this out. It's never been a crime and there is no valid reason for making it illegal.

Of course fanatical partisans don't even think about that for a second. Cheese-eaters seem to think that if they want to whine about something, that MAKES it illegal.

sniveling, whining, shit4brains govt. cheese eaters can't get it through their heads that talking to people in other countries is legal.......

I guess I must be committing a crime every time I talk to people outside the US on Skype...

They are making fools of themselves and the American people see it.

Swell. How about lying about it on an application for security clearance.

Since the president took office, Donald Trump Jr. and his brother Eric have assumed day-to-day control of their father’s real estate empire. Because he does not serve in the administration and does not have a security clearance, Donald Trump Jr. was not required to disclose his foreign contacts. Federal and congressional investigators have not publicly asked for any records that would require his disclosure of Russian contacts.

Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law, and Paul J. Manafort, the campaign chairman at the time, also attended the June 2016 meeting in New York. Representatives for Mr. Kushner referred requests for comments back to an earlier statement, which said he had voluntarily disclosed the meeting to the federal government.

On Monday, after news reports that he had hired a lawyer, he indicated in a tweet that he would be open to speaking to the Senate Intelligence Committee, one of the congressional panels investigating Russian meddling in the election. “Happy to work with the committee to pass on what I know,” the younger Mr. Trump wrote.

Next week an anonymous source who is familiar with Trump will advise the Washington Post or CNN that the president's favorite salad dressing is Russian and for 5 days WaPo will publish stories about how this is the collusion "smoking gun."

Rev will cut and paste every breathless story about Trump's treasonous love for Russian salad dressing and snood will call Trump supporters fools (or worse) for not getting that Russian dressing (even on a Ruben)

I don't know about "killing him," but he certainly routinely made the argument that criticism of Obama (and particularly anything as extreme as calling him "vermin") was an undeniable sign of racism.

Unlike Kushner, Trump Jr. does not serve in the administration and is not required to disclose his foreign contacts. The newspaper said the meeting was disclosed in recent days to government investigators when Kushner filed a revised version of a form needed to obtain a security clearance. His attorney has previously acknowledged that Kushner's first security clearance submission was incomplete.

By the way, the rumor here is that the real reason for not televising the White House Press Conferences is that Trump is very unhappy over their physical appearance and is searching for a more appealing individual to represent his obfuscations.

How bout Trump Jr, as mentioned in the quote. Why you changing the subject?

First of all, Sean Spicer who we all know and love was the first person to suggest that Russian dressing would be criticized if Trump used it on a salad. Frankly I was stunned that Spicer thought Trump ever entertained the idea of eating a salad or any vegetable for that matter.

And just for housekeeping sake, the sandwich you mentioned is called a Reuban, Im sure it was just a typo but those of us who love authentic deli's would never spell it any other way.

By the way, the rumor here is that the real reason for not televising the White House Press Conferences is that Trump is very unhappy over their physical appearance and is searching for a more appealing individual to represent his obfuscations. Personally, I don't think it's true, he used to be the leader of the free world for pity's sake.
