Journalist Says Everyone At Trump Tower Meeting In June 2016 Is In Jeopardy Of Indictment
I don't know how deeply people at NT get into the "Russia" thing, certainly people can pay the investigation as much or as little attention as they personally desire. In the event there are some people who want a deeper dive, I would recommend you acquaint yourself with Marcy Wheeler's site EMPTYWHEEL. Wheeler is an independent journalist who has specialized in national security stories. She has been focusing on the "Russian" matter for some time. Here is her twitter https://twitter.com/emptywheel
Today I listened to her being interviewed on the show Pod Save America. Here is the link for that. https://crooked.com/podcast/helsinki-warmed-over/ . Wheeler comes on the show at just about the 48:30 minute mark so you can skip to that point. She is on for about 13 -15 minutes.
What Wheeler believes , with a lot of confidence, is that a deal was cut at the June 9th 2016 Trump Tower meeting that represents a specific quid pro quo where the Russians would help Trump win by dumping dirt on Clinton and tampering with the election in exchange for Trump ending the Magnitsky sanctions and giving Putin his way on Syria. She says that anyone who was at the June 9th meeting is in trouble with Mueller. Her allegation is that there was a second , secret, Trump Tower meeting that took place after the group had initially left the meeting room. On her web site she goes into this in great detail.
Wheeler has a unique twist to her journalism on this story. She has been interviewed by the FBI concerning information she had about someone connected to the conspiracy. Due to being interviewed by the FBI she was able to glean what she says are indications that a lot more is known by Mueller than anyone in the public is commonly aware of. There are shoes to drop , and they are big shoes.
Anyway, there are the links for anyone who may find themselves interested.

I have always though Don Jr. was going to be a focus , and I still think that. He has the family gene for lying and he has been lying about his contacts with Russians.

So, essentially, there is not a glimmer of proof here. What should anyone believe what she says?
The meeting that never happened, then happened but was about adopting kids, then wasn't about adopting kids, then the cover story was written by Jr., then by donny, then no one knows who wrote the cover story about adopting kids?
THAT meeting?

Remember the other day when the right was claiming that Mueller went public with the 12 indictments were a political statement?
Looks like the WH told Rosenstien to go public with the indictments. oops.. LOL
Source?
I'm probably skirting the COC by asking for a source.
Get the comments back on topic.
The journalist was just composing an opinion devoid of facts. That was the topic I believe.
I see the usual whining from the right. No help for that.
Everyone else can check Marcy Wheeler out. She knows where it is all headed.

Maybe you shouldn't be taking so much time doing this. There's a lot more to life than endlessly criticizing and subtlety insulting others and their opinions.
