Seems like the nothing burger had a surprise filling eh? :p

Reading the emails it's clear that it paints her and the information she had as coming from the government itself.  The issue is not that she is actually part of the government in any way, most times agents ties are hard to find anyway.  Its the fact that Trump JR is acting on the information in the emails and thus accepted the meeting with the full knowledge that the information and the person giving it could be a Russian agent.  This part you cannot just ignore as him being naive because Paul Manafort was also part of the meeting.

I would have agreed with you that the Russian narrative was something very hard to prove since it really did not need Trump personal involvement and even if he were involed in anyway would be hard to prove with private meetings like this where you have no clue as to the conversations that took place.  The thing is that little by little, information keeps leeking where Trump and his people have to change their stories.  You have had many reports of Trump trying to find ways to remove the sanctions against Russia and now you get these little nuggets from Trump Jr meeting with this lady who just happens to be on the subject of those same Sanctions.  The same sanctions that caused Flynn to get booted, Jeff Sessions to recuse himself etc.  I can care less bout the DNC, but what I do wonder is how many deals are on the table Trump has to pay for to stay in office.

Hillary Clinton is not the President.

I have no proof that the 13 year old kid I met online is actually a 13 year old kid, so it's totally cool for me to just show up at his house with a six pack to see what's up.

Pick one:

Michael Flynn misleading Mike Pence about his foreign contacts and being asked to resign.

President Trump's constant undermining of the intelligence community's conclusions on the Russia hacking.

The WH pushing back on Russia Sanctions that congress is largely supportive of.

The President firing Jim Comey.

The President contradicting the official explanation of Comey's firing on national TV, opting instead to say that he was fired over the Russia investigation.

Jim Comey's memos, which revealed Trump requesting a pledge of loyalty, for Comey to drop the Flynn investigation, and for Comey to publicly clear Trump's name of suspicion regarding the Russia investigation.

Reports that Trump made similar requests of the DNI and the Director of the NSA.

Probably a lot would but of note from the Al Gore 2000 Campaign (quoted from the bbc)

"When Gore campaign was sent Bush debate brief book, they called FBI," he tweeted. "If foreign interests offer you info on former [secretary of state], you call the FBI."

I mean, it's totally cool that you believe that, and anyone is free to believe what they want. There's just no proof of it yet, and it's my opinion (just opinion, yes), that there isn't anything there. I could certainly be proven wrong, I just don't see it yet. 

It certainly seems like literally everything Trump or his inner cirlce does is liable to get leaked. I can't imagine that any president and officials in this position would have some negative things come out. I'm actually suprised we haven't heard worse - though I think we eventually will. I just don't trust the gov't in general that much. 

I'm just wondering where all these militant groups are? For decades they've been claiming that they're in charge of protecting the US from corruption within, yet here we are, a traitor and enemy from "within" and they're all in his corner.

The human race is so... *sigh*

They're probably too busy taking up arms for some stupid cause. Like a rancher's "right" to have his animals graze off of land owned by the BLM.

So wait - you're totally cool with the fact that Clinton's camp met with and worked with the Ukranian gov't to get damaging info on Trump simply because she lost the election. Just admit you're a Democrat shill then, because that's fucking ridiculous. What DTJ did doesn't come CLOSE (as far as we know) to what the dems did, yet you're completely up in arms over this, and Clinton's camp is completely non-noteworthy. What a joke.  

A conspiracy charge involves a plan to commit a crime, it does not require the crime to have actually been committed. 

Also, that last metaphor is a laughable false equivalency and a disastrous way to run a political campaign. 

When the last time someone was willing to give you something for nothing.  Why would this lawyer go on about the adoption stuff if that was not the agenda.  It's the information that Trump Jr gives out that he thinks is no big deal that reveals the payout.  If you really think about it, you should be very surprised they even got this info.  Just think about it, how did this email get leaked.  An email as damaging as this, released at a time like this not being purged from their system seems very suspect.  You go on about how many months these sites has been digging for dirt as if there is a time limit on such things.  Dirt get release when its convenient for interested parties to throw a broadside shot.  This is that broadside shot.  There isn't enough here to do anything but raise a lot of questions where a lawyer will probably wiggle Trump Jr out but you can believe this is a shot directly at Trump himself saying pay up or find your family in jeopardy.

My problem is that you are way to quick to throw away intent as if it means nothing.  Read the emails and you will see that from those emails there is definitely intent to collude with Russia for information on Clinton.  The key is that this type of information puts Trump Jr in jeopardy more than his Papa.  If Trump loves his son so much he got the wake-up call this leak intended.  You think this is all about Dems getting Trump impeached.  That is just one part of the story.  This is about getting Trump to pony up his part of the deal and every time he keeps waffling more like leaks like these will find their way into news site hands.  At the end of the day there will be a fall guy, it’s a matter of who that person will be.  My money is on Trump Jr taking the fall for his dad but we will see.
