Mueller Team Asking If Trump Tried to Hide Purpose of Trump Tower Meeting
NBC ^ | 28 Aug 17 | Julia Ainsley and Tom Winter

Posted on 08/28/2017 4:56:00 PM PDT by SkyPilot

Federal investigators working for Special Counsel Robert Mueller are keenly focused on President Donald Trump's role in crafting a response to a published article about a meeting between Russians and his son Donald Jr., three sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.

The sources told NBC News that prosecutors want to know what Trump knew about the meeting and whether he sought to conceal its purpose.

The meeting occurred at Trump Tower in June 2016 and was attended by Donald Trump Jr., Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. The meeting, which was first reported by The New York Times, also involved Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya and former Soviet intelligence officer Rinat Akhmetshin.

At the time, the White House confirmed that Trump had "weighed in" as the response to the Times report was drafted aboard Air Force One on July 8 as the president returned to the U.S. from Germany. The Washington Post reported that Trump had "dictated" the response.

What a joke.

And there sits on his posterior our "illustrious" Attorney General, the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the United States of America - Jeff Feckless.

I don't know who I have more contempt for - the Deep State Traitor Mueller, or the the Back Stabbing Coward Jeff Feckless.

We're just not accustomed to a real southern gentleman.

I'm very happy with Sessions.

He was obstructing justice before there was an investigation!

She was a lobbyist. Nothing happened.

I'd say the "excitement" of his response was not so much as what they had but what the hell were they trying to pull.

We hardly needed cr** from Russia out Hillary. We have plenty of that.

The meeting is covered by the First Amendment.

Mueller’s investigators have to prove criminal conspiracy. Good luck with it.

It’s not a federal crime to give whatever kind of response to the media. Even if Trump massaged the truth, it’s a political matter not a federal offense. Now if Trump said it to investigators or in a criminal procedure then you would be talking something serious

I’m sure Trump’s lawyers would be present at any interrogation by FBI agents or prosecutors.

Its a long way from establishing a crime was committed. Meeting with foreign nationals is and of itself not a federal offense.

“We’re just not accustomed to a real southern gentleman.”

So to you, a feckless little turd like Sessions is a “real southern gentlemen?” If there is anyone who is trying to deep six Trump it’s this little MFer. You’re about as bad as the Blacks who vote on the basis of skin color, and you should be ashamed.

Mueller to Kushner: Once the meeting started, why did you leave ?
K: I had to use the restroom.
M: Why did you really leave the meeting?
K: I had to us the restroom.
M: We’ll indict.

A real southern gentleman? That’s idiotic. Who the F cares if he’s some polite pushover?
Its time for an effective guy who couldn’t care less about etiquette and mint juleps.

Then again,, Obama was flexible with Vladimir.
