Trump Jr. Sought Clinton Info from Russian

https://politicalwire.com/2017/12/05/trump-jr-sought-clinton-info-russian/

"SNIP...........

“Donald Trump Jr. asked a Russian lawyer at the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting whether she had evidence of illegal donations to the Clinton Foundation,” the lawyer told the Senate Judiciary Committee in answers to written questions obtained by NBC News.

“The lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, told the committee that she didn’t have any such evidence, and that she believes Trump… Once it became apparent that she did not have meaningful information about Clinton, Trump seemed to lose interest.”

This is nasty but I don't give a damn.

The story I've heard (or read) is that when Junior was born, Trump's then-wife, Ivanka, wanted to name the boy Donald John Trump, Junior. The Idiot initially resisted because he was afraid that his son would turn out to be a loser and Trump didn't want to tarnish his family's name.

Looks to me like Trump was right for once.

initial reports of Jr's meeting with her. Maybe Trump Jr. Testified at the time and left out his direct question on wanting the Russians to provide dirt on Hillary from their forays into her and her staff's computers.
