ā€œManafort did not read the entire email chain Trump Jr. had forwarded himā€¦ā€

Uh oh.

Shouldā€™ve at least read Page 4, Paul:

ā€œDo not break email chain! Forward to 10 people in campaign, and you receive Clinton emails stolen by Kremlin. If not, then bad luck happen to you! Once, GOP campaign break email chain ā€“ and lose by 50 electoral votes! THIS IS NOT JOKE. CURSE IS REAL!!!"

Hilarious. He was only there because he was told there would be caviar.

Trump Jr.'s story that Veselnitskaya provided no useful information is hard to swallow to say the least.
The initial email from Goldstone specifically states the information is coming from Aras Agalarov, a Russian real estate billionaire with close ties to Trump, including plans to build Trump Tower Moscow, which Agalarov states was put on ice for now due to Trumpā€™s election. Hard to imagine Agalarov went through all this trouble to feed the Trump campaign vague and useless stuff, as Jr. rather ridiculously claimed. Details about hacked DNC emails relating to Clinton, however, that would be interesting to the Trump campaign Iā€™m sure.

The fun part here is Manafort really only needed to read as far as the subject line. ā€œRussia - Clintonā€¦ā€ Iā€™m sure Manafortā€™s interest would have ended there. Couldnā€™t possibly be anything worth reading in an email with that subject line, right?

Uh huh. Because people running presidential campaigns have so much spare time on their hands they can always drop everything and go running off to a meeting with they know not whom to discuss they know not what. Yeah. Thatā€™s plausible.

Maybe he figured he already knew everything to know from his GRU buddies.

Not even remotely credible.

Funniest thing I have read all day! So of course when Manafort attended the meeting and learned of its purpose, he quickly notified the FBI, right? Wrong! Too funny.

ā€œTLDR: Manafort Reportedly Didnā€™t Bother To Read Russian Meeting Emailsā€

Oh, really? Maybe when all of Manafortā€™s emails are subpoenaed by the Mueller investigation, it will be discerned whether he replied to any of them.

WTF is wrong with these people?

And after meeting with the Russian government lawyer, he promptly notified the FBIā€¦ Right?

Laws and ethics are for losers and donā€™t apply to themselves. Obviously.

This is rapidly becoming a ā€œwhoā€™s left with the sh*t end of the stickā€ situation for the Trumpies.

Also, he never inhaled, he never touched himself down there, and he did not have sex with that woman.

Lame excuse. He was there. He should have gone to the FBI to report all this criminal activity. He didnā€™t. He participated.

Lame

I have to say Manafort is a much more plausible liar than Jr.
