Good boy, Chuck. You’ll get an extra scoop of ice cream the next time you’re invited to the WH.

For a few minutes there a few months ago it looked like Grassley was concerned, but then he got his ethanol subsidy, so he’s good.

I believe he also said that about Bill waving and politely chatting to Loretta Lynch on the tarmac.

Oh, wait…

“So I don’t even know why you’d be asking about him if you read them.”

If you read them Chuck and realized Jr. was on Donalds campaign and wiki leaks was in with the Russians…

Well they may have been innocuous to Eric Trump.

From that clip, Jr.'s post of his bank robbery. His hands look small too.

If Grassley had a brain in his shriveled old head, he’d STFU.

Gassley is old and his grasp is innocuous…He meant ‘insidious’ and ’ incriminating’.

What could possibly be nocuous about a presidential campaign having a cooperative relationship with a cutout for Russian military intelligence that broadcasts stolen private documents meant to interfere with a national election? Just a couple guys chattin’ on the intertubes, dude, people get their knickers in a twist over every little thing now I swear.

Corrected Headline – Grassley: My Messes Mostly from Incontinence

It would be about as relevant. HIs spouting off means nothing, and doesn’t change the facts.

The human pitch-drip experiment.

Abso-bleepin-lutely. There would be calls for execution if someone tangentially connected to Obama or Clinton did this exact same thing.

But not from milquetoast Grassley, he’d just be “very concerned for our national security” or somesuch, and appear on a nap-time fox show to ask open-ended questions implying treasonous intent.

Seems to me there’d be no way, unless we saw the other end of the exchanges (i.e. Assange’s DM chain), to know whether Junior deleted replies he may have sent to the Wikileaks DMs. We’re taking Junior at his word that the released exchange is complete and he never responded other than what he’s shown us?

Shorter Grassley: We need more hearings about Hillary’s emails.

The messages with ISIS were innocuous.

Here’s an innocuous response for you

…on the same day that Trump Jr. received the first message from WikiLeaks, he emailed other senior officials with the Trump campaign, including Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, Brad Parscale, and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, telling them WikiLeaks had made contact. Kushner then forwarded the email to campaign communications staffer Hope Hicks. At no point during the 10-month correspondence does Trump Jr. rebuff WikiLeaks, which had published stolen documents and was already observed to be releasing information that benefited Russian interests. [The Atlantic]

It seems Jr didn’t often respond in writing to Wikileaks, but followed the emails with interest. Several times he seems to have taken Wiki’s advice and followed up with an action inspired by their suggestions. Innocuous, yup.
