Apparently Donald Trump
Jr. has the nickname of "Fredo" amongst Trump campaign staff,
referring to the incompetent son of mob boss, Vito Corleone, in the movie “The
Godfather”. Even amongst the low standards of ethics and wisdom of
the Trump world Trump Jr. seems to set a low bar. Recent revelations show that
he took a meeting with a Russian operative on the promise that he would receive
damaging opposition research from the Russians. Remember that Russia is a
hostile foreign power whose boss, Putin, is dedicated to weakening America any way that
he can.
This is direct evidence that:
·
Russia was interfering in our American elections
·
Russia was interfering so as to defeat Clinton and elect Trump
·
the Trump campaign was willing to work with the hostile foreign
power, Russia, to defeat Clinton.
Smoking gun.
Conspiracy. Perhaps treason.
Here are quotes from
the article:
"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 opposition research 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.”
If
the future president’s elder son was surprised or disturbed by the provenance
of the promised material — or the notion that it was part of a continuing
effort by the Russian government to aid his father’s campaign — he gave no
indication.
He
replied within minutes: “If it’s what you say I love it especially later in the
summer.”
*******
Donald
Trump Jr. agreed, adding that he would most likely bring along “Paul Manafort
(campaign boss)” and “my brother-in-law,” Jared Kushner, now one of the
president’s closest White House advisers.
On
June 9, the Russian lawyer was sitting in the younger Mr. Trump’s office on the
25th floor of Trump Tower, just one level below the office of the future
president."
So,
what should Jr, and (Manafort and Kushner) have done? Inform the FBI! This is a
serious crime against our very democracy itself.
"When Gore campaign was sent Bush
debate brief book, they called FBI. If foreign interests offer you info on
former SOS, you call the FBI.

It has never been much of a
mystery why Trump has been trying to stop the investigation into conspiracy
between the Trump campaign and hostile foreign power of Russia. Just win baby? Even if it takes an act of treason to do so? Well, let’s hope that these remarkably
corrupt people do not get away with it.
