Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) with great news about Don Jr. Not great FOR Don Jr, though.

House Intel Dem wants ‘Donald Trump Jr. — and his phone records’ when Dems take control of Congress

“That June 9th meeting almost tells us everything about the intent of the Trump team during the campaign,” he continued. “Within days, they set up that meeting — they moved heaven and earth to make it happen — that showed how willing and eager they were to receive the information.”

“But there is a call after Donald Trump Jr. talks to someone in Moscow — and in between another call with someone in Moscow — he talks to a blocked number,” Swalwell explained. “That’s how it shows up on the Verizon call receipt we have.”

“We’re seeking to unseal that call — to subpoena Verizon — to see if that goes to his father, because we have other evidence from other witnesses that Donald Trump, the candidate, that his phone number was often blocked,” he continued.

“And that would go to Donald Trump’s knowledge,” Swalwell added.

And Fox will be right there to denounce Junior as an impostor or one of Alex Jones' lizard people. If they can figure out how to make that assertion without conceding that Needy Amin fucked an iguana.

Anyone who thinks through the process would see this coming.

The Democrats are going to have public hearings and subpoena all of the records that Nunes refused to look at.

All kinds of information about TrumpCo that’s been hidden for the last 2 years is going to made as public as security concerns will allow

They are intentionally backing Trump into a corner...from all sides. I'm just afraid he'll do something real, real stupid. A pathological, sociopathic narcissist backed into a corner and faced with public humiliation is not a nice thing to behold...or experience.

but seldom listens to anyone, preferring to go with "his gut" (and what a gut it is!). Trump always thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. Anyone thinking that Trump knew nothing about this meeting, and nothing about the subject of that meeting, is crazy.

Reconciliation is a thing of the past. Destroying your opponent with real investigations into REAL scandals will resonate w the American public a whole lot better than all the fake Rethug ones. Except of course for the Deplorables.

The real back channel was between Don jr, the pop star and his father. The Trump Tower meeting was for the Russians to make sure that it really was Trump that they were dealing with. This Stone, Credico, Corsi thing may lead to Trump or it may not.
