Don Jr. and Wikileaks
 
Election laws stipulate that it is illegal for an American to solicit anything of value from a foreigner. But there is an exception to that rule, which is, none of the election laws apply to a media organization. So one of the defenses the Trump people were preparing was to say "even if we did cooperate with Wiki
Leaks, that's legal, because WikiLeaks is a media organization." The messages with Trump Jr. contradict that. WikiLeaks is not acting like a media organization. Media organizations do not call on defeated candidates to contest the validity of an election. But cutouts for Russian intelligence do...

The swamp was deeper than anyone imagined. Obama and Hillary are at the center.

Those are the facts, and being verified daily.

This man might be the soft underbelly that takes the Trump Administration down.

Trump’s appointment to a state Supreme Court Justice has never tried a case in his life. Trump appointees are flying all over the country in private jets, costing the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. He has more billionaires in his Cabinet than any other president in history. They aren’t draining the swamp, they are filling it to overflowing. Trump names former drug executive as new health secretary | PBS NewsHour

Although we see new facts almost every day, and new names every day, it is apparent what you think....when you said, and I paraphrase...."we put up with your black man for 8 years" it was then understood that color of skin is your baseline of judgement.

"We know President Trump during the campaign publicly encouraged the Russians to hack and release Hillary Clinton’s emails. We know he referenced the WikiLeaks email dump 145 times in the closing days of the campaign. We also know that Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort met with Russians in June 2016 with the promise of “dirt” on Hillary Clinton, and we have learned that campaign adviser George Papadopoulos had extensive contacts with Russian officials that included discussion of “dirt” on Clinton. To say that there is no evidence of collusion, then, would be one more big lie in a series of big lies the administration has deployed to defend itself in the Russia investigation that threatens to sink this presidency.

But in case all of that were not enough to constitute “collusion” (which is not a legal term), The Post reports:
_________________________________________
Trump’s eldest son exchanged private messages with WikiLeaks during the presidential campaign at the same time the website was publishing hacked emails from Democratic officials, according to correspondence made public Monday. Donald Trump Jr. did not respond to many of the notes, which were sent using the direct message feature on Twitter. But he alerted senior advisers on his father’s campaign, including his brother-in-law, Jared Kushner, according to two people familiar with the exchanges.

In the messages, WikiLeaks urged Trump Jr. to promote its trove of hacked Democratic emails and suggested that President Trump challenge the election results if he did not win, among other ideas. They were first reported by the Atlantic and later posted by Trump Jr. on Twitter.

Even more directly, Donald Trump Jr. was urged to have his father tweet a link to the leaked email:

“Hey Donald, great to see you and your dad talking about our publications,” WikiLeaks wrote. “Strongly suggest your dad tweets this link if he mentions us.” The message included a link to search documents that had been hacked from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. Trump Jr. did not answer. Fifteen minutes later, his father tweeted to his millions of followers: “Very little pick-up by the dishonest media of incredible information provided by WikiLeaks. So dishonest! Rigged system!” Two days later, Trump Jr. tweeted the link to his followers, writing, “For those who have the time to read about all the corruption and hypocrisy all the @wikileaks emails are right here: 403 Forbidden

What more evidence of collusion do you need? - The Washington Post

Trump may claim that his son was acting foolishly on his own and that he tweeted without knowledge of his son’s communication with WikiLeaks.


Even if you believe that, it can no longer be said that there was no behind-the-scenes coordination (i.e. collusion) between the top level of the Trump campaign and the most prominent Russian “cut-out,” WikiLeaks.

Remember, Don Jr said he never told his father about Wikileaks saying he should promote the leaks.

FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER, this tweet from Trump Sr.


"Very little pick up by the dishonest media of incredible information provided by Wiki Leaks. So dishonest! Rigged system!"

How about YOU dispute anything said by me, but with facts that can be supported.

In any case, why do you consistently, and alway embarass yourself. Your best bet is to simply shut up

You wrote all those words because you could not actually state a real point. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS?
