Kinda surprised there's no thread about this as yet....
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump Jr. met with a Russian lawyer who he believed had damaging information about Hillary Clinton in the midst of the 2016 election — and wrote "I love it" about the prospect of getting his hands on the material, according to emails released Tuesday by the president's eldest ***.
The email exchange shows an acquaintance with ties to Russia, music publicist Rob Goldstone, told the *** of then-candidate Donald Trump last year that the attorney has "information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your ******."
Although it was clear that Trump Jr. was told by Goldstone he would be meeting with a "Russian government attorney" and that the information was "part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump," Trump Jr. expressed no hesitation in the email chain and, in fact, appeared enthusiastic.
The email exchange makes it clear that Trump Jr. set up the meeting thinking he would be speaking with a Russian government representative with information meant to boost his ******'s campaign, and it comes as the Justice Department and two congressional committees continue to investigate possible links between the Trump campaign and Moscow.
"This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump," Goldstone wrote Trump Jr. in one email.
