EDITOR’S NOTE Trump is not hounded and vilified for the many crimes he commits against the public interest, nature, or against world peace, or for advancing first and foremost the filthy interests of the usurping plutocracy and not the ordinary citizen. Those crimes are just fine with the anti-Trump establishment represented by the sanctimonious Times, Rachel Maddow, the rest of the media jackals, and the utterly prostituted political class, indifferently spanning Democrats and Republicans, because they all benefit from such criminal and undemocratic policies. Instead they focus obsessively and deliberately on fictitious offences relating to Russia that could push the world to a devastating nuclear war.—PG

The Non-Issue of Trump Jr.’s Emails
Source: Stephen Lendman
Anything about Russia, Trump, his family and team consistently is overblown, misrepresented and lied about by what he justifiably calls the “dishonest media.” Indeed!! Trump Jr.’s meeting and email correspondence with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya amounted to much ado about nothing.
..
A nothing story disgracefully became a cause celebre, anything to bash, denigrate and weaken Trump for the wrong reasons, ignoring plenty of justifiable ones - done directly or through other parties, in this case his son.
..
Russian lawyer Veselnitskaya is a private citizen unconnected to the Kremlin. There was nothing improper or illegal about Trump Jr. meeting with her. No “collusion” occurred, no connection to Russia, no other known criminal activity of any kind.
..
Trump Jr. published emails between himself and Veselnitskaya, showing they had nothing to do with Russia. Issues discussed related to adoption of children and related charitable activities. Emails between himself and publicist/tabloid writer Rob Goldstone claimed a Russian government lawyer had incriminating documents about Hillary, yet nothing of the sort was discussed or transmitted.
..
Goldstone said he had no knowledge of Veselnitskaya’s connection to the Kremlin. Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Russian government knows nothing about this woman. On June 9, 2016, Trump Jr., presidential campaign manager at the time Paul Manafort, and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner met with her at Trump Tower in New York.
..
Trump Jr. said the following:
..
“I was asked to have a meeting by an acquaintance I knew from the 2013 Miss Universe pageant with an individual who I was told might have information helpful to the campaign. I was not told her name prior to the meeting. I asked Jared and Paul to attend, but told them nothing of the substance.”
..
Veselnitskaya said “she had information that individuals connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National Committee and supporting Ms. Clinton. "(H)er statements were vague, ambiguous and made no sense. No details or supporting information was provided or even offered. It quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information.
She then changed subjects and began discussing the adoption of Russian children and mentioned the Magnitsky Act.”
..
“It became clear to me that this was the true agenda all along and that the claims of potentially helpful information were a pretext for the meeting.”
..
Goldstone called the meeting “the most insane nonsense I ever heard.” In a Tuesday interview on NBC News, Veselnitskaya denied any connection to Vladimir Putin or Russia’s government, explaining she didn’t meet with Trump Jr. to discuss Hillary or last year’s presidential campaign. Unprincipled claims by undemocratic Democrats and media scoundrels about alleged Trump team wrongdoing, including possible treason, show how low they’re willing to stoop to damage the president for the wrong reasons.
..
It’s more hard evidence of the deplorable state of America, a serial aggressor, a fantasy democracy, an unscrupulous rogue state.
NYT Disinformation on Trump Jr.’s Emails
Trump Jr.
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Times is an unscrupulous lying machine on issues mattering most, a disgrace to the profession of journalism, especially anything to do with US aggression, Russia and Trump. On July 11, its editors turned truth on its head, headlining “Donald Trump Jr. Makes the Russian Connection.”
..
Fact: No connection was made or exists, not now or earlier. Times editors maliciously lied, part of their anti-Trump jihad for defeating Hillary, their favorite, providing press agent services during the presidential campaign.
..
The Times: Trump Jr.’s “emails confirm what the president, his son and others have denied repeatedly for more than a year: that top members of the Trump campaign met with representatives of the Russian government in the expectation of help in damaging Hillary Clinton and getting Donald Trump elected.”
..
Fact: False!! They reveal nothing of the sort. Malicious Times’ lies can’t change cold, hard, facts. No Trump team meeting(s) with Russian government representatives occurred for any reasons related to the presidential campaign.
..
The Times quoted publicist/tabloid writer Rob Goldstone, claiming “a Russian government lawyer had ‘offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father.’ “
..
It ignored him saying he had no knowledge of Veselnitskaya’s connection to the Kremlin because she’s a private citizen, not a government operative.
..
The Times: Trump Jr. met at Trump Tower with the Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, who has connections to the Kremlin.”
..
Fact: False!! She denied it. So did Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
..
The Times maliciously lied, accusing Trump Jr. of “multiple conflicting accounts” about what happened in his meeting with Veselsitskaya. His email exchanges and account of what they said explained otherwise. The Times: “Donald Trump Jr. appears to be in real legal jeopardy. Federal campaign finance law prohibits political campaigns from soliciting any ‘thing of value’ from foreign nationals.” “By that standard, Mr. Trump’s acceptance of the offer to see Ms. Veselnitskaya certainly looks bad.”
..
Fact: During his meeting with her, no information on Hillary or anything else related to the campaign was discussed. Fact: No documents of any kind were passed from her to him. Fact: No evidence of Russian interference in the presidential campaign exists. Fact: No US law prohibits its citizens or residents from meeting with anyone anywhere for personal discussions, a First Amendment right. Fact: No collusion occurred during Trump Jr.’s meeting with Veselnitskaya, no connection to Russia’s government.
..
The Times is a national disgrace, mocking what journalism is supposed to be.

Hell hath no fury but a media scorned (free after Shakespeare). Trump has accused constantly the media of being dishonest and out to get him. It truly appears to be deliberate because by distracting the media into shouting about non-events and small nonsense blown up to gigantic proportions, hoping to increase their ratings (and profits), he distracts the viewing public from the main events of his regime, the intense and extreme recidivism in scaling back all the social provisions brought into law since about the 1970’s. Proof of this would be the total lack of a Republican reaction despite the… Read more »
