As if to save the investigators some time. Seriously? Not even coded language? Or just "Call me, some important items to discuss." Why put the details of your crime in an email? Unless they're not real emails, and are actually bait. When Trumpsky's people reveal them to all be fake, it will undermine the entire claim against him, and the American people will further distrust the media and bring Trumpsky's authoritarian take-over that much closer.

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

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
