FYI the Steele dossier (Trump golden shower report) was commissioned by a private group (republicans then democrats) and not Clinton's campaign, that's why it isn't apples to apples
Also this meeting is yet another item in the Steele dossier to be corroborated 7/11/2017 4:18:59 PM |

It really doesn't make a difference. If a country was really up to something so egregious, they could easily set up a surrogate firm. HRC was secretary of state so many of the people she worked with would have been working for foreign powers. In your book, almost all dirt on anyone who works for state department would be off limits. They would be untouchable.
Quote : | "It's not hypocritical. Russia has been our adversary for a very long time. If you want to talk about the public narrative, you have to go back to George W. Bush for changing that when he claimed he saw Putin's "good soul." Even Mitt Romney, when campaigning against Obama, was ardently speaking about Russia as our number one threat. And if you do any reading on geopolitics or national security over that time frame you'll see that they've always been our number one threat. So, while the public posture may have been different, the Obama administration absolutely considered them a threat." |
Why do you consider Russia and adversary? Kaine was even talking about treason. We aren't at war with Russia. Some people are stuck in the past.
Quote : | "we have a president who is actively trying to help Russia while lying about it" |
How is he trying to "help" Russia? Refusing to demonize them doesn't count.
Quote : | "The only way our elections aren't "free" has to do with the amount of money campaigns spend. But we do have free elections. You can walk into that voting booth and choose whoever you want. You have options. You have all the information you can get from the press, from reading, etc. to make a decision. What you're really complaining about here, I suspect, is that most people are idiots and blindly vote their party, as evidenced by the results of gerrymandering and also by the fact that Congress consistently has a sub-20% approval rating but every single person rates their own representative in the 80s" |
So if we have free elections, and Russia didn't make the election "not free" then what exactly is the problem? Unless you are insinuating Russia "hacked the election" which was always a lie. Russia didn't change the options.
Quote : | "It makes a huge difference as to whether a campaign gets help from multi-billion dollar corporations or a foreign adversary. For starters, one of those two options has a very high chance of leading to war." |
Why is it different. You should be able to answer 5 consecutive "why" questions to really understand why you believe something.
WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY
What difference does it make? Why does it lead to war?

RE: Clintons/Ukraine vs. Trump-Russia
Look at how the records were obtained: Ukraine had previously released info on the "secret ledger" slush fund the previous administration had been running. That's all we know Clinton obtained. It could be a wait and see (doubt it). vs obtained by Hacks and other cyber attacks, wielded in a way to influence democratic systems
Who obtained them: some random DNC staffer who passed them along? vs. I've lost count, but I think something like 5-7 of Trump's top campaign aides/surrogates/cabinet members have had questionable interactions with Russians?
Who's denying it? That DNC staffer has already been questioned by the FBI. They could have a top secret investigation going on and we know nothing about it. But given that October NYTimes article on the previous page, I'd think the NY FBI office would have let us know long ago. vs. I've lost count, but What are we up to in denying ANY contact with russians, glaring omissions on security clearance forms, etc. GUILTEEEEEEEEEEEE
Who committed an act of war (arguable)??? Ukraine, I'm sure is no angel vs. Committed an (arguable) act of cyber war on the United States, and continues to "probe" the shit out of us as well as the rest of the world. Seriously, fuck these guys.
Finally, consider how we obtained the information. There have been multiple occasions now where one of the major papers gets confirmation on some bombshell they've been investigating, report it to us. Trump surrogate denys/spins/gives a version, only to have more info about that same individual leaked typically within another day. Sometimes the process begins again. We can't be sure whom is responsible for leaking this way, but its clearly designed to destroy Trump and the people around him's credibility. This is also pure conjecture but: I believe its a safe assumption that there could be many more DAMNING leaks to come. They just keep trickling out and they keep getting worse. You don't think it just stopped at this single meeting do you?7/11/2017 8:05:47 PM |

It absolutely makes a difference. One can be considered an act of war by a nation state which has the means to wage said war. Another is an act of domestic, internal posturing. Could that lead to civil war? I guess. But the difference absolutely matters. And if they could easily set up a surrogate firm, why didn't they?
Not sure what you're saying regarding the SecState comment. Hillary's coworkers by definition would be working for the United States, not other countries. That's why they are at the United States Department of State. Unless you mean people from other countries with which she worked. Still, point is lost on me.
Quote : | "Why do you consider Russia and adversary? Kaine was even talking about treason. We aren't at war with Russia. Some people are stuck in the past." |
Because Russia seeks to gain resources and power at the expense of the United States. Geopolitics 101. Treason would only apply here (as defined) if Trump or his cronies sought to aid the other nation. It's POSSIBLE considering they were seeking to remove sanctions that were devastating Russia but I doubt he'd ever be charged with treason. As for "we aren't at war with Russia," we're at war every single day with every nation that is not aligned with us. It's a zero sum game. It doesn't have to be, from an idealistic and resource standpoint, but until human psychology and behavior evolves, it will remain a zero sum game. And since you can never know with 100% certainty the intentions and motives of your rival nations, to guarantee your own survival you have to hedge. That hedging takes shape along a spectrum from posturing, maneuvering and propaganda and on to intelligence operations and outright war.
Quote : | "How is he trying to "help" Russia? Refusing to demonize them doesn't count. " |
He sought to eliminate sanctions that were put in place to punish them for invading and annexing a sovereign nation (one with which they signed agreements to guarantee said sovereignty - Budapest Memorandum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum_on_Security_Assurances)). He sought to eliminate sanctions and punishments that were put in place to punish them for their actions to destabilize Europe and The United States via intelligence operations aimed at disrupting electoral processes, specifically their interference with ours this past year. Note - interfering with an election is not the same as hacking an election, though part of their interference did involve hacking in general.
Quote : | "So if we have free elections, and Russia didn't make the election "not free" then what exactly is the problem? Unless you are insinuating Russia "hacked the election" which was always a lie. Russia didn't change the options." |
They didn't make the election not free - people could have been smart and pragmatic like many of us in this thread and still voted for Hillary (or anyone not named Donald Trump, really). They didn't "hack" the election. They DID influence it, likely in a significant way (although we have zero way to determine whether they swayed the opinion of one person or 10 million people). They did so by releasing information that damaged one candidate specifically (information that was TRUE, mind you) but more importantly, they initiated a massive disinformation and false news campaign which prevented many people from determining the truth of both candidates. In concert with this, they worked to turn American citizens against their own government (possibly unwittingly, though at the moment it seems very much willingly) to attempt to cause the above actions (sanctions removal, etc.).
Quote : | "Why is it different. You should be able to answer 5 consecutive "why" questions to really understand why you believe something.
WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY
What difference does it make? Why does it lead to war?
Recap: Its bad because its a foreign nation which could lead to war because its bad because its a foreign nation doing it which could make it lead to war because its bad because its a foreign nation doing it." |
I think I just answered the why's. What difference does it make? See my responses but generally speaking you have to look at this in two parts. 1) You have the government which has access to classified information, makes decisions, wages war, etc. 2) You have the population at large.
In our country, if enough people from group two demand something, group one will succumb in order to stay in power. Sometimes it takes little pressure to do the right thing, as is the case with the Pearl Harbor attack leading to an almost immediate declaration of war. Sometimes it takes a lot of pressure to do the right thing, as is the case with the Nixon Watergate scandal which took document leaks, brave reporting and public opinion to finally take down one of the worst presidents we've ever had.
From a larger picture, people in group one work with their counterparts in other nations to do everything they can to a) enrich their country and firm up their security and b) keep world peace (because war is absolutely devastating to the global economy, among other reasons). To do this, they maintain public stances that many times conflict with their actual, hidden actions. This is why intelligence is operated in the manner it is. It's a way for nations to advance their agendas while gaining as much information about the motives and intentions of their rivals in order to do so for the greatest benefit with the lowest cost. All major powers realize this which is why you'll often hear things like "gentleman's agreement among spies." In other words, yea, we know you spy here but we do it too because we have to. So as long as we can keep the public from finding out (and becoming enraged), we aren't going to get too worked up over it.
That is, unless it crosses a line. This election situation crossed that line.
Why does it lead to war? It may and it may not. If the public becomes enraged enough about it, it would absolutely lead to war. Again, in our country, the government listens to us. You can be cynical and say that's all bullshit but it's true.
Your recap is partially correct. It's bad because citizens of our country possibly conspired with intelligence and government agents of a rival/enemy to obtain power in exchange for making decisions that directly reduced America's advantage and directly increased the rival/enemy's advantage.
This is FAR different than bankers lobbying to have a regulation removed so they can make a higher bonus. They don't use that bonus to wage war against their own country.
That being said, I used to work at Credit Suisse and Och-Ziff. Now, Credit Suisse isn't an American bank so it's not quite the same, but Och-Ziff is headquartered here in NYC. Check out the below. Yes, corruption can sometimes cross that line too.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/16/business/16bank.html
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/04/business/dealbook/och-ziff-may-face-consequences-beyond-fine-in-bribery-case.html
Then funny coincidence about that second article: https://www.ft.com/content/d4d7ffee-e3ed-11e6-8405-9e5580d6e5fb?mhq5j=e1
Quote : | "Two former Och-Ziff executives have been charged with directing a scheme to win the hedge fund business in at least five African countries by paying “tens of millions of dollars” in bribes to government officials.
The Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday filed a civil suit accusing Michael Cohen, 45, and Vanya Baros, 44, of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and misrepresenting their African deals to investors over a five-year period beginning in 2007." |
I've seen an article or two positing that the Michael Cohen mentioned in the Steele Dossier was confused with this guy, haha.

One side does not believe anything the "old guard," media states. The other side is upset they lost the election and are willing to accept this passive aggressive coup d'état.
At one point the actual results of how we are living right now will weigh in. People who work, will accept the economy is pretty good right now, and even the critics will have to admit as such.

New details emerge on Moscow real estate deal that led to the Trump-Kremlin alliance Michael Isikoff Chief Investigative Correspondent https://www.yahoo.com/news/new-details-emerge-moscow-real-estate-deal-led-trump-kremlin-alliance-190126219.html
Quote : | "While in Moscow for the Miss Universe pageant in November 2013, Donald Trump entered into a formal business deal with Aras Agalarov, a Russian oligarch close to Vladimir Putin, to construct a Trump Tower in the Russian capital. He later assigned his son, Donald Trump Jr., to oversee the project, according to Rob Goldstone, the British publicist who arranged the controversial 2016 meeting between the younger Trump and a Kremlin-linked lawyer.
Trump has dismissed the idea he had any business deals in Russia, saying at one point last October, “I have nothing to do with Russia.”" |
Quote : | "Goldstone’s version of events implies a possible explanation for Trump’s interest in lifting sanctions on Russia — a policy move his administration quietly pursued in its first few weeks until it ran into strong opposition from members of Congress and officials within the State Department.
Goldstone placed Donald Trump Jr. at the center of the Trump Tower deal, saying that his father assigned his eldest son the job of moving the project to fruition after the signing of a “letter of intent” between the Trump Organization and Agalarov’s company, the Crocus Group. It is not clear if the future president personally signed the “letter of intent,” but Michael Cohen, a longtime lawyer for Trump, told Yahoo News Tuesday that it would have been standard practice for Trump, as president of the Trump Organization, to do so." |

I love the plant pivot. Let's say it was a plant? Trump Jr. still acted under the belief he was meeting with a foreign agent to receive information from an enemy government to help win an election. Whether it was a plant or not is irrelevant - his intentions are crystal clear. 7/12/2017 2:59:56 PM |

The plant angle is going to be a very serious deal if it turns out to be true and these email exchanges had anything to do with any FISA warrants. 7/12/2017 3:40:29 PM |

Did anything illegal happen here? 7/12/2017 3:46:03 PM |

Won't know that for quite some time. But illegal shouldn't be the minimum standard for conducting yourself at this level. Enough was done to completely eliminate any ounce of trust I'd place in any of these idiots and I entirely question their loyalty to our country. 7/12/2017 3:47:13 PM |

Donald Trump held press conference promising more dirt on Clinton hours after Donald Trump Jr's Russia emails http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-jr-hillary-clinton-russia-email-press-conference-dirt-democratic-us-president-election-a7836826.html
Quote : | "Hours after Donald Trump Jr confirmed a meeting with a Russian lawyer to discuss information on Hillary Clinton, his father promised to make a speech with new information about his former rival for the US presidency.
“I think you’re going to find it very informative and very very interesting,” the US leader said, adding that it would likely take place next week.
"We are going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the Clintons," he said.
His comments came after his son released emails relating to his previously undisclosed meeting last summer with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, who has been linked to the Kremlin.
He said "I love it" to what he had been told was an attempt by the Russian government to undermine Hillary Clinton's presidential election campaign." |
