About two weeks before the release of emails showing Donald Trump Jr. seeking opposition research from attorneys representing the Russian government, his father’s reelection campaign began paying the law firm now representing Trump Jr. in the ensuing political and legal fallout.
A new filing with the Federal Election Commission shows that President Trump’s reelection campaign paid $50,000 to the law offices of Alan Futerfas on June 26. That was around the time, Yahoo News reports, that the president’s legal team learned of a June 2016 email exchange in which Trump Jr., through an associate, solicited damaging information about 2016 election rival Hillary Clinton.
When the New York Times revealed the email, and the meeting it set up, last week, Trump Jr. hired Futerfas, who is best known for representing four of New York’s major Italian mob families. The announcement of the hire came not from the Trump campaign but from the president’s company, where Trump Jr. remains a trustee.
Okay here's the thing, if the Trump campaign is paying these lawyers that essentially means that this meeting was sanctioned by the campaign.
Right?
And doesn't THAT also now mean that the entire campaign is complicit in the collusion as well?
Sure seems that way.
This also gives more evidence that Trump was lying about not knowing this meeting happened until it was reported last week. Hard to imagine these payments went out and Trump did not know about them.
Damn this thing just gets more scandalous every day.
