What crime did he commit?Junior has been lying for days. He only released his emails minutes before the NYTdid. Why would we believe that the meeting was a nothingburger. He lied.

I’m not sure you have the proper understanding. Just because another revelation may break in a week and FOX News or others move on, doesn’t mean previous ones are gone from the eyes of Bob Mueller and his fellow investigators behind the scenes. And Junior and perhaps Jared and Manafort will be called to testify in the weeks ahead.I can’t believe how many are jumping up for glee with this new “revelation”. This will be gone in a week just like all the other Russian collusion dirt they’ve been trying to pile on him. I wish you’d remember what happened last news cycle and not get your hopes up. Oh well, if you have no election wins I guess you need hope even if it’s false.
And I’ll add thisJunior has been lying for days. He only released his emails minutes before the NYTdid. Why would we believe that the meeting was a nothingburger. He lied.
Haven’t you heard that ethics is no longer a consideration in government (and not starting with the Trump administration), nor is ethical behavior a major concern in our society and culture? Get real. However, on a religious forum such as CAF, I would think it should be of at least of some interest, if not concern. The oft-repeated excuse that Obama did something similar or Hillary is unethical so it is fine for Trump and his son to engage in whatever behaviors they want so long as they are not criminal behaviors is not really a teaching of the Church now, is it, or of most religions? So what is the point of your religious beliefs if you don’t put them into practice when evaluating (not judging) your own or someone else’s behavior?If your line is “hey, this is fine because it doesn’t satisfy the legal elements of a crime” then, man, you’re already conceding a lot.
This is a real attempt to influence an election - involved foreign operatives - including Russians and also with the exchange of money - AND is not found as being initiated by Trump to hurt Hillary but by those who wanted to hurt Trump - its existence and content being known to many - [including the US government, Democrats, Republicans and Media] dates to last summer -Ah, yes, the pee story. That’s very different. McCain was acting in his capacity as a Senator, not a candidate. Don’t try to conflate the two. As to Jeb Bush, I hadn’t heard that,** and you don’t appear to have much to back it up**, but if he did that, then…he was wrong. No argument there.
Why weren’t any of you interested in taking your spyglasses into Hillary ClintonAnd I’ll add this

I’ll ask again.Why weren’t any of you interested in taking your spyglasses into Hillary Clinton
when it comes to everything she did? Or Obama?
Now you are into specific details and timelines. You are only interested in seeing what you want to see.
Well, let’s see what you have instead of a bunch of incessant thumbs up with nothing to back up your thoughts.Why weren’t any of you interested in taking your spyglasses into Hillary Clinton

Pretty sad observation. I can’t argue with you.Haven’t you heard that ethics is no longer a consideration in government (and not starting with the Trump administration), nor is ethical behavior a major concern in our society and culture? Get real. However, on a religious forum such as CAF, I would think it should be of at least some interest, if not concern.

What a smear campaign.This is a real attempt to influence an election - involved foreign operatives - including Russians and also with the exchange of money - AND is not found as being initiated by Trump to hurt Hillary but by those who wanted to hurt Trump - its existence and content being known to many - [including the US government, Democrats, Republicans and Media] dates to last summer -

One of the weak, if not the weakest, link in this whole chain is the fact that nobody has ever been allowed to actually examine the DNC computer for “Russian fingerprints” or anything else, despite repeated FBI requests (and why just requests?) to have its experts analyze it. The only word we have for Russian hacking is the DNC itself. Supposedly, the DNC’s information about that comes from CrowdStrike, the Russian-owned “spy company” hired by the DNC to spy on Trump, that produced the fake Trump “dossier” with Russian sources.And I’ll add this
