Everyone there has been forbidden from seeking private legal counsel, so everyone has been secretly receiving private legal counsel. :slol:

So much smoke, looking forward to getting a look at the blaze generating it all.

Donald Trump Jr has tweeted the entire email chain with a Russian official offering dirt on Hillary Clinton. He did it because the New York Times was just about publish it.

The documents “would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father,” read the email, written by a trusted intermediary, who added, “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”

If the future president’s elder son was surprised or disturbed by the provenance of the promised material — or the notion that it was part of an ongoing effort by the Russian government to aid his father’s campaign — he gave no indication.

He replied within minutes: “If it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer.”

Holy gooseberry fool! This quote from the emails:

I'm assuming that sentence is a pretty big deal. What's happening now?

Yeah, seems pretty important, as it not only suggests Russia was colluding with the Trump team to try to influence the election but also says this particular incident was just one part of their efforts.

It'll be part of Mueller's investigation I'm sure.

Trump Jr's not part of the regime though is he? Could just be a direct prosecution?

This is incredible. I thought with Mueller, any interesting stuff would disappear until there was a conclusion to the investigation. But this is devastating to Trump. This is his son, his son-in-law and his campaign manager. We are much closer to impeachment now than at any point in his Presidency.

He was the star of Home Alone 2 FFS. If the Wet Bandits couldn't take him down then nobody can.

White House officials, lawyer are advising Trump not to comment on Don, Jr. reports

President Donald Trump has been advised against tweeting about reports of his eldest son's meeting with a Russian lawyer during the campaign.

An administration official tells CNN that Trump's lawyer and White House officials are urging him not to weigh in. But it's anyone's guess whether he will follow that advice.

White House advisers and others close to the president have urged Trump in recent days not to tweet about the revelation or subsequent reports on the meeting that was first reported by the New York Times, a person familiar with the discussions told CNN.

In recent weeks, the White House has sought to distance itself from the Russia investigation, with limited success.

Trump has frequently taken to Twitter to push back on the latest allegations of collusion between Trump campaign associates and Russia, sometimes going against the advice of his top aides and lawyers.

Just read this on Axios:

Thought for the day: If The New York Times knows all this, imagine what Bob Mueller knows.
