1. Get these 6 people testifying under oath.

The lies will begin to fall apart.

2. I Don't Know What Your Business Experience Is But Any Business Meeting That I Attended Either.....

had someone designated to take notes or I took notes myself. These notes would include the date, time, attendees and topics discussed - and any pertinent notes or actions as a result of the meeting.

I keep hearing the excuse that these Trump people were inexperienced in political ways so give them a break. Father forgive them for they don't know what they're doing. But these same people tout their business experience. I would think even in their business world that they would record their meetings much like I described above.

Now after Jr. changed his story a number of times and gave an interview saying he's told all - we're hearing that more people were involved in this meeting.

Trump Jr. is lying. Sr. is lying. This Russian lawyer - the reason for the meeting in the first place - who was interviewed the other day was lying. We're getting these lies up and down the chain of the Trump team.

We're told that the meeting was a quick one. Manafort and Kushner walked out of the meeting and nothing of any consequence was discussed or came out of the meeting. I don't believe that for one second.

16. The truth may come out yet.

Right now the narrative is: nothing happened it was about adoption. How do we know this? The people who have lied repeatedly so far say so.

3. He said there was a translator a few days ago, so it's nothing new

The news is that the "translator" is actually a Russian spy.

[herding cats]

6. With the Russian spy Akhmetshin in the mix it's still just 5 people.

They're saying there was one additional person who they're claiming was a translator... I think?

[Mrs. Overall]

9. Yes, that is correct.

[Trekologer]

14. Was the translator this new person or is it another one?

These people have lied about the meeting details multiple times already. Who is going to trust that they aren't now?

[herding cats]

4. Manafort, Kushner, Trump Jr., Veselnitskaya, the former GRU Akhmetshin and a translator?

Am I keeping up or am I misssing something? Since Akhmetshin is a lobbyist here I'd think they were fluent in English and Russian.

5. a matter of definition

trans·la·tor
ˈtransˌlādər,ˈtranzˌlādər/Submit
noun
a person who translates from one language into another, especially as a profession.
a program that translates from one programming language into another.

So it becomes a parsing issue.

If you bring a person that is going to set up servers between two locations, i.e., Trump Tower and a Russian bank, do you have a translator.

7. Both Natalia V. and the russian spy guy speak perfect English. She argues in court in English

and he is Russian American himself and lobbies in English in the US.

As someone mentioned on twitter, is it possible that translator was translating for someone who was on speakerphone?

[Solly Mack]

8. He was translating English into Trumpisms.

Great! Tremendous! Yuge! Bigly! Really! Very! Sad!

[GeorgeGist]

10. Did Trump Jr. bring his own translator?

[jpak]

11. That's because Jr. was speaking in Treason

yup

[Motley13]

12. the Russian lawyer supposedly did not speak or understand English

what to you want to bet she understands perfectly & everything was probably taped.

[Mrs. Overall]

13. Where did you read that? I read that she spoke English fluently--so much

contradictory info out there!

[rainbow4321]

15. She submitted this to the court about needing a translator
