THREAD: @realDonaldTrump now *admits* that Don Jr sought Clinton dirt at his meeting w/the #Russian🇷🇺”lawyer”/spy & a “former” GRU military intel officer.
It’s a CRIME for a campaign to solicit or receive *anything* from a foreign national, let alone #Russian intelligence.🙄1/
We knew last year that Jr, Manafort & Kush met w/a Kremlin-linked “lawyer,” a “former” #Russian🇷🇺spy w/expertise in acquiring hacked emails, and an alleged Russian money launderer👉🏼they discussed #sanctions, Clinton #kompromat, and #RNC donations.🔥2/

We also knew last year that Team🇷🇺Trump tried *desperately* to cover up the meeting.
Kushner “forgot” (= #felony) to disclose the meeting *3 separate times* on his SF-86, and Jr & his father, Trump, LIED repeatedly about the meeting.🙄 3/

Strong circumstantial (publicly available) evidence suggests that Trump *knew* in advance of the meeting, and Michael Cohen claims that Trump *approved in advance* of the meeting.🧐
Does *anyone* think that Jr told Manafort & Kush about the meeting, but NOT Trump⁉️🙄 4/
Nearly *every* senior member of Trump’s campaign had shady ties w/#Russian🇷🇺intelligence. His NSA Misha Flynn pleaded GUILTY for lying about contact w/#Russia, his deputy campaign chair (Gates) pleaded GUILTY & campaign chair Manafort faces legal Armageddon.🙄 5/
#TrumpRussia
@SpeakerRyan & @SenateMajLdr McConnell have remained nearly silent after STUNNING revelations. The #RussianLawyer🇷🇺meeting alone should‘ve been MORE than enough to raise *serious* concerns w/the @GOP, who (other than Senate Intel) have abdicated their sworn oversight duty.🤬6/
Team🇷🇺Trump *knew* they were meeting w/#Russian government representatives in hopes of getting Clinton dirt.
They intended to use this #Russian🇷🇺intelligence to throw the election.
They *never* alerted the FBI, and instead, desperately tried to COVER UP the meeting.🙄 7/
Trump held *secret* discussions w/Putin at the #TreasonSummit in #Helsinki, and out nation’s top intel official, DNI Dan Coats still has not been briefed by Trump on what was discussed‼️🤬 8/
#TrumpRussia
The #RussianLawyer🇷🇺meeting was MUCH worse than campaign law crimes. This meeting was part of a #conspiracy btwn Trump’s campaign and #Russia🇷🇺to throw our election.
This is #treason‼️
