1. Some great ones

TRUMP: Russia did not interfere
CIA: Yes it did
FBI: Yes it did
NSA: Yes it did
TRUMP JR: Yes it did

[Amaryllis]

3. That was one of my favorites...

[progressoid]

24. +1

[Bleacher Creature]

2. These are all fantastic. Thanks! NT

[question everything]

4. Does anyone know how these emails came to see the light?

Was Jr's email hacked? Wouldn't that be the irony..

[Amaryllis]

5. He released them himself; theory is to get ahead of the NYT when he heard they had them.

He posted minutes before they broke it.

[question everything]

7. But how did the NYT get them? This is not someone leaking info

this is someone's supposedly private email?

[Amaryllis]

9. Good question. Please post the answer if you find out.

[thecrow]

37. Tiffany? Kellyanne?...

...Spicey?
The mystery deepens.
Melaria?
We may never know!

[leftstreet]

11. Yeah, how did the NYT get them?

By releasing them, we aren't talking about who leaked them

Maybe that's the story he was trying to bury?

[bettyellen]

12. They had five sources for the story/had spent a full year tracking them down and verifying them.

[Amaryllis]

16. But the failing NYT is fake news, right?

That is some serious investigative journalism and that does not come cheap.

[bettyellen]

18. The reporters Tweets were heartbreaking! Fucking Junior scooped their publication- by lying and

Asking for more time to comment. Asshole. Ugh.

[Amaryllis]

19. I don't know what you are referring to? Can you clarify? Do you have a link? Or is the NYT

article? I haven't read it yet; just read about it and heard it on Rachel.

[bettyellen]

20. One of the 3/4 reporters names tweeted all that- that he worked on it a year, only to be

Scooped by Jr releasing it before they had a chance to.
No more courtesy comments.

I'll see if I can find the link for you.

[Amaryllis]

21. Thanks; i just looked and couldn't find it.

[bettyellen]

22. Me neither, saw it hours ago. They said they'd give Jr till 11am to comment and that's when he

Tweeted it out.

Amazing they are trying to claim someone who lied about this dozens of times (3-4 times this week alone) transparent.

[Amaryllis]

29. Hopefullly the story about him trying to scoop them becomes a story. I still can't find it anywhere.

[icymist]

14. Indeed.

I suspect Assange.

6. HE posted them on twitter

The NY Times had them too and was going to run a story on them. So in Donnie Jr.'s highly educated and super successful mind he thought HE should release them first aaaaand that .....okay I have no idea what he could possibly have been thinking.

[Amaryllis]

8. See post #5. Theory is he thought he would be "getting ahead of the story."

[underpants]

13. Oh I know

but I don't see how he could possibly have thought that's was a good idea.

He's a empty lunkhead as I posted about earlier

[Amaryllis]

15. Same as with his dad; you can't see how he could possibly have thought that (fill in the blank)

was a good idea. But that is because you are apparently a rational person with the ability to see the repercussions of your actions.

[icymist]

10. Donald Trump Jr. kind of reminds me of this:

[Virtual Burlesque]

36. And with his brains in his butt.

Of course, that's a myth about dinosaurs, but it's right on the money for Little Donny Trump Junior.

[Solly Mack]

17. Love it!

[cwydro]

23. These are great! nt

[CrispyQ]

25. Love them!

My two faves:

[LisaM]

31. The Watergate one was my favorite!

People are so darned funny.

[Dave Starsky]

26. My favorite was a Reddit comment.

"Do you know how fast I clocked you at back there?"

"SIX KILOS OF HEROIN IN THE TRUNK!!"

[underpants]

28. LMAO

[retrowire]

32. Lmao seconded. Nt

[Buns_of_Fire]

27. He should probably avoid rowboat rides for a while. nt

[retrowire]

30. SOUNDCLOUD XD NT

[Chemisse]

33. I certainly agree with this one:

This is the dumbest and biggest crime in the history of American politics. There's not even a close second.

[Amaryllis]

35. There is one that competes: Trump telling Lester Holt that he fired Comey to make Russiagate

go away.

[Chemisse]

38. Lol - like father, like son! n/t

[Takket]

34. .
