Trump Jr. and Other Aides Met With Gulf Emissary Offering Help to Win Election

WASHINGTON — Three months before the 2016 election, a small group gathered at Trump Tower to meet with Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son. One was an Israeli specialist in social media manipulation. Another was an emissary for two wealthy Arab princes. The third was a Republican donor with a controversial past in the Middle East as a private security contractor.

The meeting was convened primarily to offer help to the Trump team, and it forged relationships between the men and Trump insiders that would develop over the coming months — past the election and well into President Trump’s first year in office, according to several people with knowledge of their encounters.

... Donald Trump Jr. responded approvingly, according to a person with knowledge of the meeting, and after those initial offers of help, Mr. Nader was quickly embraced as a close ally by Trump campaign advisers — meeting frequently with Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law, and Michael T. Flynn, who became the president’s first national security adviser. At the time, Mr. Nader was also promoting a secret plan to use private contractors to destabilize Iran, the regional nemesis of Saudi Arabia and the Emirates.

Mueller will have enough scandal among the Trumps to feed investigations into the next decade.

funny thing about words...

Trump Jr. May Have...  

may have = pure speculation and straight up bs in most cases.

watch how easy it is...

un-named, high level officials, known liars, and other people who wish to remain anonymous totally agree that obama may have been smoking crack in the whitehouse and the people have a right to know for sure if this is true or not.  we need a special counsel to get to the bottom of this..

You have articles from the NYT on regular basis, doesn't mean they aren't fake or non news. Starting a whole new thread over a nothing burger seems to be waste of time of your time.

John, I put this challenge out to you a week ago or so, and it seems you have never responded. Maybe you just lost track of time and simply forgot to give me your full answer. Well, here is your chance again...

In all of the articles, posts, seeds, etc of accusations, suppositions, innuendos, etc, over the past 2 years that you have infested this blog with, which one or ones have actually come true?

Here is your chance to really shine..

The challenge is still out there. Just give us one, John. One article, anything that you have posted in the past that accuses Trump of something that has actually come true. We know you can do it......maybe not.

“A lawyer for Donald Trump Jr., Alan Futerfas, said in a statement that “prior to the 2016 election, Donald Trump Jr. recalls a meeting with Erik Prince, George Nader and another individual who may be Joel Zamel. They pitched Mr. Trump Jr. on a social media platform or marketing strategy. He was not interested and that was the end of it.”

The August 2016 meeting has echoes of another Trump Tower meeting two months earlier, also under scrutiny by the special counsel, when Donald Trump Jr. and other top campaign aides met with a Russian lawyer after being promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton. No evidence has emerged suggesting that the August meeting was set up with a similar premise.”

Bugsy, your comments generally fall into the category of something one scrapes off the bottom of their shoe. 

If you want to believe I have never posted anything accurate about Trump, knock yourself out. I am not going back through all my seeds to amuse you. Virtually all of my content comes from reliable sources.

No...no they don't.

Be honest with yourself. Admit that you have never posted anything accusatory that has come true. It's OK. Kinda like the first step of a 12 step program. Everyone on here knows what you post is either a lie or easily debunked within minutes of you posting it.

We all know the only reason you don't like Trump is because his name is not Hillary. You know no other reason.

FWIW: all collusion is not a crime! (In some cases it is, in other cases it is not). This is from The Washington Post (not exactly a "pro-Trump" source:

Collusion is not a crime by itself. 

Collusion — the word Trump often uses to describe Mueller's case, even as he asserts such a thing never happened — is not itself a crime, and Mueller's team will probably have to sort through unseemly political dealings to determine whether a law was broken, legal analysts said . . .

Collusion is not a legal term nor was it first used by Trump. It has been used by liberals to portray the crime they believe took pace.

The legal term is Conspiracy

I'm not surprised that the Israeli's were also in the mix with similar slimy leaders around the world to get Trump elected.  They new he could be paid off in some way and easily manipulated.  As I said on a different article, Trump got something from Israel and that's why he moved the embassy to Jerusalem so quickly.

and easily manipulated.

Agreed. Well said. And that manipulation in many ways is easily seen from both Bibi and Putin if one really wants to see it. Of course, there are the die hard supporters of Trump who will never believe it, but, for those who are not Trump worshipers, it is easily seen.

See what exactly? It looks more like Trump is manipulating them all. He didn't get this far being a patsy for the bad guys. Obama turned around, dropped trou, and bent over for everybody!

Like I said, it is easily seen by those who want to see it, and you obviously fit the pattern of those who choose not to see it, and prefer to excuse the truth with more lies.

Maybe just a little tit for tat for Obama trying to manipulate the Israeli election to boot Netanyahu to the tune of 375,000 taxpayer dollars.

Sounds like the Trump campaign was quite eager to have foreign collaboration in rigging the election.
