Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) said Friday that “there’s nothing wrong with” Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Russian lawyer in June 2016 after being promised dirt on Hillary Clinton as part of a Russian government effort to aide his father’s campaign.

“I don’t have an issue with it,” he told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota. “Let me take a step back, Alisyn. In politics, if I meet with — whether it’s a citizen or a non-citizen and they give me information or an idea or talk about policy, there’s nothing wrong with that. That’s not a crime.”

“So to have a potential meeting where this source might give you evidence that the DNC was taking money from Russia or that Hillary Clinton was committing a crime, and then once you find out this is a bogus meeting and after 20 minutes you kick them out of the office, I have no problem with what Don Jr. did,” Duffy continued. “And I don’t think any prosecutor would either.”

Multiple complaints to the Federal Election Commission allege the Trump Campaign illegally solicited a contribution from a foreign national — in this case, damaging information about Hillary Clinton — by accepting the meeting.

Hey, WisCONsin, do you really support some one making $174,000 a year that thinks that it is just fine and dandy, to have foreign power meeting with a campaign, that are operatives that were SPIES, is this putting America First........

I don't like Treason, and I don't like someone especially an elected representative trying to normalize TREASON

What is your decision WisCONsin, are you an American or do you support TREASON

[volstork]

1. What. The. Actual.

FUCK!?!?

Oh, I forgot... IOIYAR

[jpak]

2. How much dirty Russian money did this guy take?

AFMA

America First My Ass

[Chasstev365]

3. FLOOD HIS OFFICE WITH CALLS!!!!!!!

[BeyondGeography]

4. Is there anything more full of shit than a Republican?

[SHRED]

5. Yeah sure...

We all know what this asshole traitor would be saying if Chelsea had done this.

[Moostache]

6. This whole thing is mind bendingly insane...

The very same "nothingburger" lawyer, who they met with surreptitiously in June of 2016, who allegedly failed to deliver anything to them then (or after?), somehow ends up as a lawyer in a fraud lawsuit that Trump's DOJ settles for 2.3% of the $230M total?

FOLLOW
THE
MONEY!!!!

Veselnitskaya is not just "some Russian person who happens to be a lawyer"... this is the quid pro quo ... she acted as the conduit to Russian resources in the election, Trump and his campaign clowns colluded with them to receive intel and cooperate with disinformation via social media and in return for facilitating this, Veselnitskaya receives VERY FAVORABLE ruling from Trump DOJ, saving HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of DOLLARS for her Russian clients.

There will be or have been MORE of these kind of rulings and favors....Trump downplaying Russian hacking, Trump publicly doubting USA intel community, Trump sucking off Putin in Hamburg, Trump getting ready to hand back diplomatic compounds seized by Obama in retaliation for election hacking....JESUS FUCKING CHRIST....this is TREASON, and they all should hang for it.

7. There was a time when American political philosophy

was based on defeating or at least containing the Soviet Union. Everything flowed from that and it tainted how we treated the environment as well as other countries. Atomic waste polluted the world. We would support dictators of the worst sort as long as they said they didn't like the Soviets.

With republicans that has morphed into hatred for the Clinton's. Any Clinton will do. In the quest against the Clinton's there is nothing that cannot be justified by the GOP.

8. Do you really have to ask?

Of COURSE we support treason! See Priebus, Reince; Johnson, Ron; Ryan, Paul, Walker, Scott for a few more examples.

10. Well its time to vote out a leader in the congress, that has tried, just like this twerp

to normalize TREASON, these four should have a big albatross bird on a billboard made up with their faces on it, or posters made up and plastered on telephone posts or flyers put on windshield


Its time to buy up Billboards and plant this twerp and the Ryan twerp enabling jerk and put there face's on Bill Boards and ask,

Does these two individuals getting $174,000 a year and $223,500 (Majority leaders of TREASON RYAN) support American Laws or do they support The White House TREASON and the Russian Laws?

[Still In Wisconsin]

12. Meh... people here in Wisconsin love these guys, and all for the same reason:

THEY PISS OFF DA LIBRULS! That's pretty much the level of sophistication of the average modern-day Wisconsinite. Dumbass cooters will somehow blame Hillary when TRUMP finally succeeds in taking away their healthcare and Social Security.

13. I hear and read you......................

I still think fliers with the russian hammer and and the sickle stamped right on front with their pictures behind them, with there lapels made to look russian,

I will even pay for 500 fliers to be made up

9. Thank you Comrade Sean Duffy

[SethH]

11. if there's nothing wrong with it

why did Pence say "of course not!", with great feeling, when asked if there were any contacts?

Among all of the millions of other denials. No one said "we met with them like anyone would have." They denied the meetings, sometimes under oath.
