Why Are We Believing That Nothing Was Gained In Jr's Meeting

[global1]

with this Russian lawyer. Both Jr. & Sr. have said the same thing - but both of them are known liars. How are we sure that no info came from this meeting either at this meeting or provided after this meeting?

Why are we taking their word for this?

1. Who is this "we" of whom you speak?

I don't believe it, and if you don't believe it either, then I don't quite understand your use of "we".

7. I Haven't Heard Any Cable News Talking Head Challenge This.....

not challenging it to me means they have accepted their explanation/excuse. I don't believe anything that comes out of these guys.

15. Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough and the Mornin Joe crew have said they doubt it...

maybe you should stop watching CNN?

11. +1

[Skittles]

12. and they are acting like this was the only meeting

it wasn't

[Squinch]

2. We aren't.

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. I know what you mean by "we", of course they are lying.

AT this point we are at war with Russia and our White House is on the side of Russia.

I dont see a way out other than massive turnout in 2018 where every patriot votes for ANY democrat.

4. Because they say 'clearly' and move on

Deflecting, spinning, moving the goal posts. It works.

5. I don't believe a single thing any of them say

[standingtall]

6. I don't but even if I did Jr. still went there to gain something of value.

Who could possibly believe that there weren't other offerings between then and November after Russia had felt out the Trump campaign and found out they were willing?

8. "We" don't

At least I don't, and several people posting here don't either. I assume you don't. So who is "we"?

9. if you say it enough, it becomes fact....republican field of dreams

i don't believe a single word that comes out of their mouths


....and with a media that profits from the conflict...we may be screwn

10. The timeline of *45's blathering about emails indicates that the meeting itself was not intended to

Be a delivery of the goods...
Rather it was to specify exactly what type of information was available and how to go about obtaining access to it.....

And of course there was likely a suggestion as to the most appropriate way
For the candidate to show his gratitude to the foreign government who was so generously offering to provide him with this valuable, albeit stolen, information.


So... they are trying to play up the point that there is no need to look at this issue
any further
because the Russian didn't actually 'deliver' the information at that meeting...

13. Katy Tur took a NY Rep rep Zeidlin to task over that.

14. They did gain something.

Maybe not a literal pile of papers with info against Hillary, but something even more valuable : the confirmation that Russia would make sure that Assange did a data dump via WikiLeaks. And of course, he did.
