Trump: '#Fake News is DISTORTING DEMOCRACY'
{<huh}
The Hill said:
President Trump early Sunday blasted the news media for using unidentified sources and "highly slanted and even fraudulent reporting."

With all of its phony unnamed sources & highly slanted & even fraudulent reporting, #Fake News is DISTORTING DEMOCRACY in our country!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 16, 2017
Trump in an earlier tweet asked why his son, Donald Trump Jr., is being "scorned by the Fake News Media."

HillaryClinton can illegally get the questions to the Debate & delete 33,000 emails but my son Don is being scorned by the Fake News Media?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 16, 2017

Trump Jr. is facing backlash for a meeting he had with a Russian lawyer who claimed to have damaging information about Hillary Clinton. A former Russian military intelligence services officer was also present at the meeting, as were top Trump campaign officials Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort.

Lawmakers are competing to get Trump Jr. to testify before their committees about the meeting. Trump Jr. said before releasing a full string of emails about the meeting last week that he would be "happy" to speak with the Senate Intelligence Committee.
<{jackyeah}>
Trump has repeatedly attacked Clinton for deleting emails from her computer on a private server while Secretary of State, and for her team receiving debate questions for a CNN town hall ahead of the event from Democratic operative Donna Brazile.

He has often criticized negative media coverage of his campaign and administration as "fake news."

DONALD TRUMP, criticising ANYONE else for not sourcing is fucking hysterical. That's goddamned comedy stand up material.

"The murder rate in our country is the highest it's ever been in forty seven years, did you know that? I used to use that in a speech and everybody would be surprised, because the press doesn't tell it like it is." -meeting with county sheriffs at the WH 2/7/17

When challenged by a Fox host to source those numbers:
"What do I know? All I know is I read it on the internet. "

Actually it can certainly be possibly illegal. It'll hinge on how thing of value is defined but you keep thinking this is 100% cut and dry

It'll hinge on a use of a legal definition. It's pretty close, IMO.
Junior was delighted at the chance to exchange something for something that would help his father, coming from what he was told was a Russian government source.

Well, shit. Because he doesn't feel like taking responsibility for your lazy ignorance you get to keep repeating dumb shit forever.

You have the best opinions, btw.

something can't be "possibly illegal." it either is or it isn't.

Well, shit. Someone's got to tell SCOTUS their decisions are totally unnecessary. And why did we build a system where lawyers try to argue legality anyways?
 
When your political career depends on a narrow legal definition...
congratulations, Donald...
YOU ARE NOW A CLINTON
 
So... He's still president.. What month/year is anything upposed to actually happen so I know when to check back to this cesspit of a thread?
 
Madmick takes over a thread and all the groupthinkers come in droves to suck each other's cocks.

How is this not considered blatant trolling? Even worse, it comes from a mod.

Meeting with a Russian lawyer to possibly get dirt on Hillary, is not illegal. It is as simple as that.

LOL
If it were "as simple as that", nobody would be lawyering up.
Not even the most blind Trumptards are calling this a nothingburger anymore.

It's all good. It's just more material to bump when this turns out to be nothing.

Give one example where an American political candidate got information from an adversarial government.

Why did you sneak that word in there? There laws being cited in this thread never specify that they only apply to adversarial governments.

The New York Times pays homage to RR Martin's brilliance by highlighting the parallel to disasters faced by royalty in that series with Trump's gross failure to keep his promise of familial sequestration from White House authority. He's running our country like the monarchs did for centuries in Medieval Europe.

GAME OF TRUMP

I so desperately want a Shoop/Meme/GIF with Trump Jr.'s face transplanted onto Cersei body in the "shame" scene from GoT.

Too perfect.

Pop culture references are so high IQ.

To give a little insight into precedent, JFK was courted by the Russians to help him defeat Nixon. He told them to pound sand.
John Kerry received classified info on GW Bush. The Kerry campaign sent it to the Bush campaign, told them what happened, and used none of it.

Yet Little Trump tripped over his own smarmy feet when offered a little bait. This isn't "normal." We'll see about illegality eventually, but these antics are certainly unprecedented collusion.

What about the time that the DNC reached out to the Ukrainian embassy about dirt on Trump's campaign. Then they sent staffers there to meet with Ukrainian officials to get said dirt on Paul Manafort.

Why would nobody be lawyering up? I don't get your point. You don't need to be guilty to have a lawyer. Are you a teenager?

They don't apply to adversarial governments, but you're a fool if you think that isn't significant. I'll let a NYT op ed say it best:

"There is nothing wrong with Mr. Trump’s ambition to improve relations with Moscow, given Russia’s importance as a nuclear weapons superpower with a United Nations Security Council veto.

But that does not mean it is wise to underestimate, as Mr. Trump seems to do, the threat posed by Mr. Putin’s efforts to weaken NATO and the trans-Atlantic alliance, subvert democratic procedures and institutions in Europe and America, wage cyberwarfare, destabilize Ukraine and secure influence in Syria.

Some Trump administration officials recognize those hazards; Mr. Trump does not."
