Let's say Jr found out from the Russians a secret tape was made, an audio recording of Lynch and Bill on the tarmac. Of course, that would be of no interest to Jr right? Take it a step further. The Russians (ISIS for that matter) approached the Clinton campaign and said we have dirt on Trump. I'm sure their response would have been...Oh please don't try to give us any dirt on Donald J. Trump we would never sink that low we have high ethical standards.
Only if they were too busy lying about her criminal email investigation to listen to it!
When it comes to dirt the Clintons wallow in it.
----------------------------------
Donald Trump Jr. was allegedly informed in an email of a Russian government effort to help his father prior to meeting with a Kremlin-connected lawyer, according to a Monday night New York Times report.
It was recently revealed that Trump Jr. had met with Natalia Veselnitskaya, a Russian lawyer, on June 9, 2016 because she had promised him that she had damaging information that might hurt Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
Trump Jr. admitted that he sought the information, but claimed he did not know of Ms. Veselnitskaya’s connections to the Russian government prior to the meeting.
However, it is now being reported that Trump Jr. was told in an email before arranging the meeting that the Russian government was behind the damaging information, according to three NYT sources with knowledge of the email.
The email was allegedly sent by Rob Goldstone, a British reporter who helped Trump Jr. arrange the meeting back in June. According to the three sources, the email indicates that the damaging Clinton information came from the Russian government but does not indicate if they procured the information from the Democratic National Committee hack.
“Obviously I’m the first person on a campaign to ever take a meeting to hear info about an opponent… went nowhere but had to listen,” Trump Jr. previously wrote in one tweet about the meeting.
“No inconsistency in statements, meeting ended up being primarily about adoptions,” he said in another tweet, backing up claims he had made that his meeting with Veselnitskaya centered on Russian adoptions. “In response to further Q’s I simply provided more details.”
Goldstone, who allegedly wrote the email to Trump Jr., also denied knowing if the Russian government had anything to do with the information. Interestingly, one of NYT’s sources said it appeared that Goldstone was simply passing along information he had been given by others.
Further attempts by the NYT to reach Goldstone were unsuccessful, leaving questions as to how Goldstone would have authored an email without fully reading or understanding its contents.
