Wow - she's not going to say anything....

Why is this off camera?

Looking at different approaches - this is one of the many ways,

What's his reaction to this story?

Trump frustrated with process. Annoyed it continues to be an issue. Would like to be discussing the economy

(I can picture the press corps faces)

MetalMidget · 11/07/2017 20:07

This is insane. If this isn't the tipping point, then there isn't a tipping point.

orlantina · 11/07/2017 20:07

Whose telling you not to answer the questions?

Not telling you (basically)

orlantina · 11/07/2017 20:09

She's trying to talk about healthcare, infrastructure....

orlantina · 11/07/2017 20:11

Is Trump now aware of a Russian campaign to influence the election in his favour?

No comment.

And that's it...

Imagine Watergate. But one of Nixon's kids kept uploading all the tapes to Soundcloud

“There’s nothing that I’m aware of at this time,” says @SHSanders45 asked about any other possible meetings between Russians and campaign

Well, this! Except for the fact that I've thought this a few times already so far. Seeing is believing with Teflon Don.

Also, did Il Douche himself refer to his kid as 'good quality'? Seriously WTF does he think his offspring is? Manufactured goods? I almost feel sorry for him. Almost.

BossyBitch · 11/07/2017 20:42

Almost sorry for junior, that is - version 1.0 is beyond anything even approaching sympathetic whatever the situation.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 11/07/2017 20:42

Sorry, meant to say thanks orlantina. I missed it but will try to find it later!

@JulianAssange
Contacted Trump Jr this morning on why he should publish his emails (i.e with us). Two hours later, does it himself:

(1/3) I argued that his enemies have it--so why not the public? His enemies will just milk isolated phrases for weeks or months...
(2/3) with their own context, spin and according to their own strategic timetable. Better to be transparent and have the full context..
(3/3) but would have been safer for us to publish it anonymously sourced. By publishing it himself it is easier to submit as evidence.

So many questions. Why are you trying to help? Isn't your schtick exposing cover ups? Why are you trying to prevent it bein submitted as evidence?

Ha!

Someone on twitter said that "high quality" and "transparency" seemed like high praise indeed for Tupperware.

I hope this happens.

Me too. In my minds eye, it would be like the Senate Intelligence Committee questioning Biff from back to the future. I think it would be quite entertaining.

Is he actually trying to sabotage the Presidency?
If the stories about his treatment by DT are true ...

Hmm. That Fox news item set my spidey senses tingling. There's something directly quoted on screen in that snippet from the released emails about (loose paraphrasing) "bringing intelligence about Hillary's dealings with the Russians." I think they're still trying to smear Hillary & suggest everyone was at it, that Hillary was also 'in bed' with the Russians. Sneaky bastards. She was secretary of state &, by all accounts, her dealings in her official capacity were above board and in line with current US policy at the time. Not the same thing at all.

Scary thought:

Maybe they lied/omitted things on secret clearance forms because they knew they had the ultimate security–presidential pardon
