Donald Trump Jr. has released the un-redacted emails between himself and a lawyer from Russian called Natalia Veselnitskaya. Veselnitskaya earlier confirmed that her correspondence with Trump Jr. had nothing to do with politics and that she has no involvement with the Russian government or any other.
The issues being discussed had to do with adoptions of children and related charitable endeavours.
A report in The Hill claims that government investigators have determined that more than half of the seven memos Comey wrote following his meetings with President Trump contained classified information and that all of them are government property.
Former British ambassador Craig Murray, who is a friend of Julian Assange and who has claimed to have direct personal knowledge of the DNC and Podesta emails found their way to Wikileaks, has written another long statement on the Russiagate scandal.
Like the morning cock, Donald Trump’s Tweets after a major event are becoming events in themselves that one can set their watch to.
This time, Trump has spoken positively of the Syrian ceasefire agreement reached between the US, Russia and Jordan after the meeting between Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Sergey Lavrov and Rex Tillerson.
Trump also spoke of his desire to move on from the Russiagate fiasco before continuing to blast his favourite targets, the MSM and his domestic opposition, including Barack Obama.
Here is the series of Tweets in-full:
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has given a detailed explanation of what was discussed during the meeting between himself, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Rex Tilleron. The meeting which was supposed to last for 35 minutes went on for 2 hours and 20 minutes.
Here are the main points.
1. Syria
For a nation that has gone to war as much as the United States, surprisingly few American Presidents have been elected, failed to win a second term or been impeached because of a matter of foreign policy.
Had Lyndon B. Johnson decided to run in the 1968 Presidential election he may well have lost in part due to the failures of the war in Vietnam, but ultimately he did not run, the Democrats did not choose the anti-war Eugene McCarthy and by the day of the election Robert F. Kennedy, another peace candidate was dead, the victim of a callous assassination.
Donald Trump’s press conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda turned to Russiagate as a US journalist tried to pound Trump on the Russia issue while inside Europe’s presently and historically most anti-Russian country. Clearly there was an attempt to stir tensions unnecessarily on the part of the reporter.
As others have pointed out, June has been a cruel month for believers in Russiagate. I had previously expressed the view that it would collapse in early summer, ie. around now. Whilst that has turned out to be over-optimistic, the scandal is certainly sagging, what with the revelations from within CNN about the cynicism with which the scandal is being seen there.
I would add in passing that in Britain CNN revelations have been entirely unreported.
In just over a week, the G20 summit of nations is to convene in Germany.
This will be the first time that Donald Trump and President Putin will have been in the same room and many are suggesting that the two will meet on the sidelines of the main summit as world-leaders often do at such events.
Van Jones, CNN’s political commentator who has played up the Russiagate non-story to an extreme degree has been caught on camera by Project Veritas, saying the story amounts to nothing. Project Veritas is the same group that recently filmed senior CNN producer John Bonifield saying that Russiagate was “bullshit” and just designed to attain higher ratings for CNN.
Now, Van Jones has been filmed calling Russiagate a “nothing burger” a euphemism for a non-story/non-event.
Watch the video and see for yourself.
