I love how she is now "The Russians". She is somehow representative of the entire russian government. Did she have some contacts, sure. But that's the biggest stretch in all this - that she was doing all of this on behalf of the Russian Government, which there isn't a shred of proof of.
This is more of the same from the Times, which is pot committed at this point to prove their narrative.

So are you telling everyone that she was just there to talk about abortion to people who had no power to remove sanctions that were the cause of abortions being denied to Americans in the first place.  Who do you think benefits if those sanctions are removed.  Who do you think has to pay up and remove those sanctions for information.  So who exactly was she doing this work for.  Also if the real subject was the sanctions then Trump Jr was definitely in the wrong place talking about things he had no authority to talk or make deals on which if I remember correctly is a criminal act.

So what is your opinion they were talking about or what do you think the cost of this information Trump Jr and his father would have to pay if it was relevant.  The key is that you only have Trump Jr word that nothing came from this meeting.  You know the same person who continue to change his story as new information comes out.

I don't have any idea what they were talking about - I'm guessing it probably WAS about Hillary. I just didn't think there was anything tying her to the Russian government. I must be missing some of the emails, from what I've looked up, she was usually referred to as the "Russian Lawyer", though once she was referred to as the "Russian Government Lawyer", which I don't believe is actually correct. However the post above yours states that she was called something else, or got info from someone else, in the Russian Government, which as I mentioned, I haven't seen.

Before ya'll get to revved up, I'm in no way a fan of Trump, I just think the Russian narrative has been blown wildly out of proportion. It's basically been the lead story for 6 months now via CNN, the NY Times, and Post. They covered the DNC scandel for about 2 days, and that invovled one party doing everything they could to make sure someone was nominated. If the biggest thing they find is that Trump Jr met with a lawyer from Russia for 20 minutes, then I'm not nearly as worried about this as I am that the DNC is completely corrupt.
