Trump-Russia scandal explodes: Kremlin offered Donald Trump Jr. dirt on Hillary Clinton ahead of meeting
Donald Trump Jr is going to prison for colluding with the Russian government to rig the election, and the only remaining question is whether his father is going with him. One day after Junior was exposed as having secretly met with a Kremlin lawyer during the campaign, that same newspaper is now revealing what the meeting was about.
Trump Junior admitted in yesterday’s New York Times bombshell that he had indeed met with a Kremlin attorney during the campaign – but he incredibly claimed the meeting was about adoption. Now the NY Times has a new followup article (link) with three inside sources confirming that Trump Junior was offered dirt on Hillary Clinton ahead of the meeting. And incredibly, Trump Junior is now halfway admitting that this is true.
Donald Trump Jr is now telling the NY Times that he only took the meeting with the Kremlin attorney because a friend asked him to, and that once he was at the meeting, the attorney really did offer him dirt on Hillary Clinton. He claims it didn’t go anywhere. But this means that for the second day in a row, Junior is admitting to some form of the latest Trump-Russia collusion bombshell that the media has produced about him.
He’s only admitting that his discussion with the Russians about dirt on Hillary took place because he knows it can be proven true. He’s trying to float himself as having been some sort of unwitting accomplice, which is last ditch desperation move along the lines of ‘My friends were wearing masks and they invited me to go to the bank with them, so I did, but I had no idea it was a bank robbery.’
Incredibly, Donald Trump’s own team of attorneys now appear to be setting up Donald Trump Jr to take the fall, telling the Times that “the president was not aware of and did not attend the meeting.” In other words, Senior looks all set to try to pin his own Russian collusion scandal on Junior. It won’t work.
