Paul Mirengoff’s latest commentary at powerlineblog.com, reminds readers of what a big fat nothing the “Trump Tower Meeting” was, notes that even Trump-hating media are no longer pretending it was anything meaningful, and then goes on to….
….well, let me show you the first part of Mr. Mirengoff’s piece, as a teaser to get you to use the link I’ve provided and read what comes next:
Remember all the excitement after it was revealed that Donald Trump Jr. and a few others in the Trump campaign met with that Russian lawyer at Trump Tower? The mainstream media treated this news as if it were a tipping point in the search for collusion between Team Trump and the Russian government.
The notion was always absurd. News flash: A presidential campaign, when offered dirt on the opponent, will hear out the person offering it, even if that person happens to be Russian.
That’s what happened at Trump Tower. Except that the Russian had no dirt to offer. She used the promise of dirt as a pretext to moan about sanctions and the meeting disintegrated. No one colluded with anyone. No one came close.
Now, almost a year after this story broke, the Senate Judiciary Committee has released 2500 pages of hearing transcripts and related material about the Trump Tower meeting. The documents confirm what I just stated about the meeting. The Washington Post acknowledges as much and tries to divert attention by discussing earlier events pertaining to Rob Goldstone who organized the Trump Tower meeting.
But there is something new that’s relevant to the Trump Tower meeting.
Did that get your attention?
Please, please, use the link and read what “something new” comment leads to.
I ask you to do so, in part, because of how important it is and, in part, because you are unlikely to find out about it in our thoroughly compromised, partisan mainstream media.
Trust me: it’s worth your time.
That Trump Tower meeting would have been half as long if they had smaller coffee cups. That way, the only productive aspect (drinking
coffee) would have been finished sooner.
I’m amazed that reporting on the Trump Tower meeting uses exactly the same unusual phrases from many different commentators and reporters:
— Take a meeting
— Dirt on Clinton
