My back of the napkin counts for auburn from the machine counts and absentees. Huge gain from Golden over the 2016 numbers. Claxton running up the score in SD-20. #mepolitics#CD2
They knew they would be meeting with representatives of the Russian state.
They knew they were being offered Russian state intelligence.
They intended to use Russian intelligence offered by Russian agents against an American opponents.
They did not alert the FBI.
Your lede:
President Trump today confessed that his son, son-in-law, and campaign chair met in June 2016 with Russian agents in hope of obtaining Russian intelligence to sway the 2016 election. Trump - who denies advance knowledge of the meeting - defends it as "totally legal."
Remember:
Trump wrote the first misleading statement published about this meeting — said it was about adoptions.
He and his lawyers originally denied it publicly; the truth came out when they released court docs.
Here he admits knowing the true context of the meeting w/Russia.
For those keeping score at home, the President of the United States just admitted that his son knowingly met with Russian agents at Trump Tower in ‘16 to receive dirt on the Clinton campaign. #mepolitics
Fake News reporting, a complete fabrication, that I am concerned about the meeting my wonderful son, Donald, had in Trump Tower. This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics - and it went nowhere. I did not know about it!
@thekiernanmc Fundraising off of the words of an alleged victim of sexual assault without that person’s consent is a really bad look for both you and the Lewiston Dems. Do better.
For all the people at the intersection of Democratic legislative politics and @bobsburgersfox, this is for you.
Congratulations on your win in Kentucky HD49, @replindabelcher! Alriiiiight!
Any news outlet quoting the Jackman neo-Nazi saying that he's not racist and just cares about "culture" should probably also mention the posts where he talks about how he plans to hide his racism by talking about culture. Also the Hitler stuff. #mepolitics
@AndroGOP@mebeacon So rather than taking the time to condemn a literal neo-Nazi who uses a lot of the same talking points you do, and used his position on the trump campaign as a springboard for more attention to his cause, you attack me. Got it.
