Donald Trump Jr secretly had another Trump Tower meeting with a foreign agent offering to rig the election
Earlier this year we learned that during the election, Donald Trump Jr met with an Israeli social media manipulation firm at Trump Tower; that meeting also involved Erik Prince and George Nader. Now we’re learning far more details about what that firm was proposing to do, and who else was involved in the plot – and it also reveals that there’s something really strange going on at the New York Times right now.
Back on May 19th, the New York Times published an article with this headline: “Trump Jr. and Other Aides Met With Gulf Emissary Offering Help to Win Election.” The article focused on the fact that Donald Trump Jr was in the meeting, and also highlighted the fact that current Trump White House adviser Stephen Miller was in the room as well. But today the New York Times has published a followup story which tries to pin the whole thing on Rick Gates.
Suddenly the NY Times has decided that Donald Trump Jr is no longer important to this storyline, waiting until the fifth paragraph to even mention his name, and waiting more than twenty paragraphs before spelling out his role – even while insisting that there is “no evidence” that Trump Jr and the campaign went ahead with the proposal. For the record, “no evidence” is typically a way of trying to make it sound like something didn’t happen, when in truth, you have no idea if something happened. Also, Stephen Miller has now disappeared from the storyline entirely, as he’s not even mentioned in the followup article.
In any case, the story is now a particularly ugly one. The Israeli firm in question was offering to use dishonest social media tactics to sabotage Ted Cruz while he was running against Donald Trump in the Republican primary race, and offering to use the same tactics against Hillary Clinton. At the least, this demonstrates that Donald Trump Jr was eager to take meetings during the election with any foreign scammer or criminal who offered to help him rig the election in his father’s favor. We also deserve answers on why the New York Times – which just got finished running a fake story about Rod Rosenstein last month – now seems intent on protecting Donald Trump Jr.
