Why does the media accept that no anti-Clinton scheme was discussed at Trump Tower?

Simply because team Trump says so? WTF?

They have lied about EVERYTHING around this meeting that Don Jr, Jared, Manafort (and who else?), and all those Russian operatives held.

Why believe at face value the statements that the Russians offered NOTHING against Sec. Clinton, when that was the expressed purpose of the meeting?

These traitors would be brought up on charges by now if CNN et als. would stop having Trump shills on peddling nothingburgers while real experts scream bloody treasonous murder.

I saw them discussing the timeline of events around and after that meeting explicitly pointing out that there is a clear correlation between that meeting and other nefarious stuff such as the Wikileaks data dump, Trump sr saying they had dirt on Hillary, etc...

some of the pundits are explicitly connecting the dots.

Executive meeting early last year. They decided that the Meme was bash Hillary e-mail and give Trump 5.6 Billion in free Promo time because the ratings and money that would come their way.

People have figured out that they were fooled big time,and now the Media is exposed. All about the ratings.

For the tRumps, we have to prove it happened

For the Clintons, they have to prove it didn't.

As long as they all stick to their stories it will be hard to know what did happen. But acceptance without question by the media that an exchange of politically germane information did not occur is mind boggling! They are all liars so why would the media pretend they have to be telling the truth about not providing the information that promoted this meeting attended by known operatives of a foreign hostile power and the highest circle of the candidate's team. The only reason orange blimpo wasn't there was plausible denial and my guessis that he was listening in (participating) from another floor. I would look at it from the other way and expect the conspirators to show proof that they didn't provide the "damaging information" as they had promised before the meeting.

What was the point of the meeting otherwise? That's what they were promised and that's why they went. The late comedians are acknowledging it, but those who are supposed to be the investigative journalists are not?
