Those Black Panther costumes - just WOW! The colours, the textures - utterly beautiful.

There is literally nothing sad about this.

Racist Pro-Trump

I can’t imagine ANY lawyer would ok this/think this was a good idea.

Whether or not the lawyer/source was acting on behalf of Russian government is besides the point. Don Jr. was under the impression that she was and acted on that knowledge.

Evidently, the NYT had a copy and were working on a follow up to their stories, asked him for comment and he said, let me get back to you in a bit, then dropped them himself. Probably figured it was controlling it more if he did it. Doesn’t sound good either way, IMO, but at least there was some deniability until he…

I expect his lawyers to quit rather than be caught in this garbage fire shortly. This is the kind of thing that is the exact opposite of what lawyers tell you to do.

My guess is that this version is probably closer to the truth:

The intermediary was British, a nation that does have crown prosecutors. Likely using vocabulary with which he is familiar, the same way that I have definitely referred to crown prosecutors as federal prosecutors in casual conversation.

His lawyer thought it was a good idea to release the actual emails?

To give you an idea as to how much of a cock-up this was:

Oh, and don’t miss that he forwarded that entire email thread to Kushner and Manafort. To summarize, the top 3 advisers to Trump during his campaign agreed to meet a Russian national to collude in order to defeat Hillary Clinton.

There is no such position as “crown prosecutor of Russia.” But that doesn’t matter. The Trump campaign should have called the FBI right then and there. Or, better still, ignored it and not meet with a shady Russian lawyer in Trump tower. Remember when the Gore 2000 campaign received a Bush prep book for one of the…

Actually, transliterated Russian names are easy; it’s pronounced exactly as you read it. It’s the Polish ones that fuck you up and make you look like an idiot!

Holy shit it’s the girl from the AT&T ads

I am skeptical only because Rogers seems very sketchy...

PFTcommenter would be so proud...

Agreed. You’ve raised some excellent points for both sides of the story. This is good journalism.

“It’s just hard to believe the dog was nasty when she took Lamby to every green room with her when Girls was still a thing 4 years ago.”

The tricky part is that other people have done TAS’ of Dragster and never gotten below 5.57 and after 35 years. Crane believes the best internal time was the 5.54 and made that clear in correspondence but it’s been decades and there’s no definitive record of the simulation.

I definitely think we should account for…
