Question: WHY DID EVERYONE believe Jr, Manafort, Kushner, et al....

...when they each said that the Russians offered not-good-enough dirt on HRC at the Trump Tower meeting?

No one has ever questioned that supposition.

They said they left the meeting early because there was nothing worthwhile.

WHY HAS EVERYONE BELIEVED THAT STORY??

After umpteen thousand investigations over thirty years, what did they think they were going to get? Only the trump-team flying monkeys were stupid enough to think they WOULD get anything.

I suspect everyone else already knew there was nothing worse in those emails than a mediocre risotto recipe.

This is a good question, and points out an in-plain-sight fact that is staring us in the face and that no one has commented on.

.....we only know they CLAIM to have been uninterested.

They have lied about everything else to do with that meeting.

It may have been the emails.

There may have been other trumped up scandals assigned to the Clintons.

There MAY have been nothing they considered good.

But I haven't seen anyone ASK THEM WHAT IT WAS, EXACTLY.

And despite no worthwhile dirt being found, they still scream 'lock her up' while trying to hide their own criminality.
