Dems mock Trump Jr with giant Time cover on the House floor — and read his emails into the Congressional Record

Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) and Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) on Friday read the full contents of Donald Trump Jr.’s email chain on the House Floor, accompanied by a print of TIME magazine’s most recent cover, a photo of Trump’s eldest son superimposed with the words, “Red Handed.”

“Don. Jr.’s emails are a smoking gun,” Gallego told his colleagues at the House of Representatives. “They prove that the Trump campaign was not only aware of the Russian government’s efforts to meddle in our elections, they were enthusiastic about accepting Russian support.”

Gallegos said the emails paint a “disturbing picture of a campaign and now an administration willing to break the law and sell out to an adversary of the United States in order to advance their own petty interests.”

Reading out Trump Jr.’s statement which accompanied the email, Gallegos noted that despite the president’s son’s assurance that he was publishing the emails in the interest of transparency, “he wasn’t even in this email.” Recent reports indicate as many as eight people were present at the June 2016 meeting, though Trump Jr. originally indicated it was only himself, former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and a Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya.

Wouldn't she qualify as an honorary Republican, and thereby be granted the privilege of continuous amendment of relative truth?

Report her to the authorities.

That is how Ds can "legally" get rid of the foreign agents "colluding" with the Republican Party.

Reprinting the cover of Time? It is a good jab, but we are being way too kind.

How about a depiction of Trump in a Russian hotel room? Or Trump rolling in money he's making off the presidency? Or Trump pushing granny out of the nursing home and onto the street with Trumpcare?

Conservative radio, I heard a guy complaining about all this Russia stuff. But he said the GOP had it coming since they ginned up scandals and had tons of hearings on every move PBO made. Made me laugh

I love this, and am going to make a point of buying about 10 magazines for my doctor's waiting room, dentist's waiting room, the Student Union Building at our local university..............
