Don Jr. released them himself on his twitter account. madaboutharry Jul 2017 #2

WTF ?! I'm just getting this on CNN so I'm a little behind ...why would he do that !? YCHDT Jul 2017 #7

Because the New York Times had them madaboutharry Jul 2017 #9

Still doesn't make sense though. awesomerwb1 Jul 2017 #27

Because he's a _______ moron underpants Jul 2017 #28

Yep. All doubt is cast aside and any attempt to say they're altered is out the window. herding cats Jul 2017 #11

Well, if DT Jr has less info than the NYT then DT Jr can call the NYT fake ... there has to be YCHDT Jul 2017 #13

The NYT isn't making such a claim, though. herding cats Jul 2017 #18

WTF ... these people are stupid but can they be THIS stupid?! YCHDT Jul 2017 #19

The best part is he also destroyed their fallback spin with his release. herding cats Jul 2017 #20

But the Russians have no motive that I can think of The Velveteen Ocelot Jul 2017 #5

Actually, Russia wants to put the U.S. in disarray, Hortensis Jul 2017 #14

Very sad but Russia has done a good job marlakay Jul 2017 #26

The NYT had the emails and were going to release them so Don Jr decided to get ahead of them. octoberlib Jul 2017 #8

fuckin wow YCHDT Jul 2017 #10

If This Were a Plant... PoorMonger Jul 2017 #12

Good question, I think he got out in front so he can say the NYT email set is fake when it comes YCHDT Jul 2017 #15

it's on the front page of every news site on the internet....including fox 'news' spanone Jul 2017 #16

Yeah and it looks like DT Jr released them preemptive to NYT release which I'm sure he'll call fake YCHDT Jul 2017 #17

I'm a bit suspicious that this is a set-up. Atman Jul 2017 #21

Another good point, why would they even THINK about going through email ?!!? YCHDT Jul 2017 #23

And spelling out their crime in detail. Atman Jul 2017 #24

Right, I'm still leaning on bait right now seeing its not a crime for DT Jr to say he put out YCHDT Jul 2017 #25

It's important to remember that this is a family of seasoned criminals. Atman Jul 2017 #31

lol I love that show YCHDT Jul 2017 #34

They're not fake Don Jr released them himself because they are in panic mode. TNLib Jul 2017 #29

That fact that NYT was about to release them does not make them "not fake." Atman Jul 2017 #33

Jared Sexton from NYT said he worked on this for a year MariaCSR Jul 2017 #35
