Am hearing rumblings that such a meeting was recorded.

This is not the biggest thing in the pipeline though.

Who would record a meeting like that?

Oh the sweet sweet irony!!

Donnie is strangely quiet on Twitter! Not defending his son? He defended his daughter sitting in at the G20 summit.

 

Know who else are quiet?

They'll be back, they've got to watch Carlson, The Five, and Hannity to get some sort of idea first on how to defend this.

They're deflecting already on Faux News. Bringing up Hillary Clinton, Podesta and Bill Clinton. They're bricking it.

Not only that but Faux are amending statements on his emails to make him look innocent.... propaganda at it's best and the righties who watch it will fall for it hook line and sinker.

They're in shock, for ages now they have defended this buffoon through controversy after controversy, not say a bad word against him. Now they're at a point where they can't come out and justify Trump Jr actions but at the same time they're scared of their base because they wouldn't dare say anything ill of Trump. So politically the best thing to do is to be quiet.

He continued: "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 Ermin."
