It also goes against the "fake news" narrative Trump and his gang constantly push. NYT was going to run with those emails, so Jr. released them first. Hardly fake.

Jr. lied about meetings. Jr. lied about the subject of the meetings, several times. Kushner didn't disclose them initially. Manafort and Kushner went along to get the "scoop", which sure sounds like conspiracy to me. For a group of people who aren't guilty, they sure seem to lie an awful lot about what they do. It might be different if it were one thing, but it's not. It's an enormous pile of things, including wanting to set up a back channel that excluded our government, using Russian infrastructure, and Trump pushing hard to re-open those Russian camps that Obama closed. On and on...there is a reason Brian William acts like he's got a huge scoop every night, because something insane comes to light almost every day with this group.

Also to your point,  this is what we're getting from the media. I can only imagine what the Feds have which we don't know about.

The Ukraine "story" is not even remotely the same. I read the article, clearly Flagg did not. It's another series of "whataboutism" and false equivalency put up by the right. It's meant to distract and muddy the waters, which is what the GOP are pros at. They want everybody to talk about that, and not Trump. That's their game, and that's Flagg's MO 24/7.

False equivalency, whataboutism, strawmen, lies and semantics.

You could give Conway a run for her money.

Donald Jr. has admitted to this meeting. Made the emails public. At first he lied about meeting Russians. Then lied about WHY he met them. Finally said he went there with the sole purpose of colluding with them and then ended the meeting once they couldn't produce the goods. That's collusion. He admitted it. This is not a conspiracy. This is not hysteria. There is no more proof to demand.

Now it's up to Mueller.

"Boarders on Treason."

'IT IS COLLUSION': Watergate special prosecutor draws the line after Trump Jr.'s email revelation

Former assistant Watergate special prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks drew a clear line on Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting with a Russian lawyer, after a bombshell New York Times report on Monday revealed that he was told in an email that the information he was receiving was part of a Russian strategy to assist then-candidate Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

"This is an astounding thing," said Wine-Banks on MSNBC. "It is collusion with a foreign adversary if they were working together to get the information from the Russian government."

The Times' report cited three officials familiar with the email that was sent by music publicist Rob Goldstone, who represented the son of a wealthy Azerbaijani-Russian developer and has ties to the Trump family. The Times' sources alleged Goldstone's email "indicates" that Russia was the source of the information, which was supposed to have been damaging to then-candidate Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

Wine-Banks also hinted that the latest revelation would be looked at by special counsel Robert Mueller, who was appointed by the Justice Department to oversee the investigation into allegations of Russian involvement during the 2016 US presidential election: "We have, for sure, more evidence for Mr. Mueller to look at and get the details of," said Banks.

"And that's what this looks like, it looks like clear proof of collusion," Wine-Banks said.
