Ex-Bush ethics lawyer on Trump Jr: 'This borders on treason'

An ethics lawyer under former President George W. Bush blasted Donald Trump Jr. for meeting with a Russian lawyer who claimed to have compromising information on then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton during the campaign, saying it “borders on treason.”

“This was an effort to get opposition research on an opponent in an American political campaign from the Russians, who were known to be engaged in spying inside the United States,” Richard Painter said Sunday on MSNBC.

“We do not get our opposition research from spies, we do not collaborate with Russian spies, unless we want to be accused of treason.”

Painter said the Bush administration would not have allowed the meeting, which was attended by Trump Jr., then-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, now a White House senior adviser, to happen.
“If this story is true, we’d have one of them if not both of them in custody by now, and we’d be asking them a lot of questions,” he said. “This is unacceptable. This borders on treason, if it is not itself treason.”

I'm not really following the Trumptard chain of thought

If the people in charge of investigating Hillary don't want to find the truth and apply the laws as they are written...then yeah, the investigations are worthless

And Comey will end up ruining his career over a fake Russian collusion story the Clintons made up

They couldn't even get that right. They paid for and published a fake dossier on Trump and ended up looking like assholes and the fake MI-6 agent got rich!

They can't win an election because of gerrymandering. Remember?

Obamacare failed because of Republicans. Remember?

Black inner cities are crime infested shit holes because of white male racism. Remember?

They have a fucking excuse for everything.

Sorry HFF, but this latest admission by Don Jr is really bad.
Let me use this more common example to illustrate my point:

You're at the club with your bro Jim .
Jim has been eyeing this one hotty and even sent over a drink to her.
He finally works up the nerve to go over and ask her out.

She smiles sweetly, looks up and says;
" I'm sorry, but Brad is already giving me a ride home"

Ouch! Doesn't look too good for ol' Jeff at this point.

perfect right wing response from this board

win an election and then no one cares about crimes committed before/during/after said election.......note this rule only applies to Donald Trump and maybe other Republicans on a case by case basis

Even better, just stop looking for crimes.  He won the election what more to you need to know.

When a story starts with "An ethics lawyer under George W. Bush..." it sort of removes its own fuse.

But then again, perhaps the gentleman was soundly asleep during that administration, and has decided to wake up and begin his criticisms, now. 

A real fine patriot, that ethics lawyer.
