Indeed, the "really rich" never do time for their crimes.

It's now coming down on the Trump Tower.

Quote:
The June 3, 2016, email sent to Donald Trump Jr. could hardly have been more explicit: One of his father’s former Russian business partners had been contacted by a senior Russian government official and was offering to provide the Trump campaign with dirt on Hillary Clinton.

The documents “would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father,” read the email, written by a trusted intermediary, who added, “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”
Quote:
He replied within minutes: “If it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer.

Four days later, after a flurry of emails, the intermediary wrote back, proposing a meeting in New York on Thursday with a “Russian government attorney.
If true, and the NY Times has claimed to have seen the emails, so much for the denials from Trump Jr. and the Russian government. Even blaming the leakers does not seem to have much effect when it all happens to be true.

Form the Fake News media and the failing New York Times:

How the right wing "news" outlets were spinning the Donny Jr. story:

http://money.cnn.com/2017/07/11/medi...ans/index.html

Had to LOL over this one:

Alex Jones, the InfoWars founder who frequently peddles conspiracy theories and has been praised by Trump, conceived perhaps the oddest way to explain away the news to his audience. He told his listeners that Donald Trump Jr. was "doing his job" by "trying to find Russian spies."

Gosh his listeners are incredibly gullible.

Hannity - "If Donald Trump himself was colluding with Vladimir Putin and the Russians, why would he need his son to act as an intermediary?"

WTF??? That makes about as much sense as most of Whell's posts.

Check out "The Chickenshit Club", a book about the nonprosecution​ of errant executives.
