Don Jr using the “I don’t recall” defense made famous by Jeff Sessions. 

How could Don Jr not remember Rinat Akhmetshin when he was “wearing hot pink jeans, as well as a pink T-shirt, with loafers but no socks”?

According to a BuzzFeed News report on Monday, 52-year-old Rinat Akhmetshin received the cash payments totaling about $500,000 “in the months preceding and following the meeting.”

Trump Jr., along with his brother-in-law Jared Kushner, and Trump 2016 campaign chair Paul Manafort, took the meeting with Kremlin-tied lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya and seven other Russians, as the Inquisitr reported, after being promised that they would receive “incriminating” information about Democrat Hillary Clinton.

But when asked about the meeting in congressional testimony, the Washington Post reported, Akhmetshin was the one person that Trump Jr. could not recall.

“People have said there was an eighth person. I just can’t remember,” Trump Jr. said in his sworn testimony. “I’ve heard the name. I don’t recall now.”

According to Bloomberg News, Akhmetshin showed up at the meeting dressed in what Irakly “Ike” Kaveladze called “highly inappropriate” fashion — wearing hot pink jeans, as well as a pink T-shirt, with loafers but no socks. Kaveladze also said that Akhmetshin loudly griped about being at the meeting, asking “Why are we here?” as Veselnitskaya gave her presentation. 

Guess who else loves pink?

Stone dodged a bullet. He could have served up to 10 years in prison for threatening a Judge. 2 strikes on Stone. Judge Jackson said that if he violates the new gag order, she’ll revoke his bond and throw him in jail until his trial.

😹  🧼 🚿 😹 

“I now have television commentators talking about the likelihood I will be raped in prison,” Roger Stone 

Government prosecutor Jonathan Kravis pressed Stone on the names of his volunteers and which of them had sent the image to him. The defendant could not come up with a satisfactory answer, saying he could not remember their identities.

His Instagram post had a “more sinister message” that could incite supporters to turn violent, she continued, observing that the defendant is an expert in communications. 

Judge Amy Berman Jackson unleashing 🔥

“Mr Stone could not even keep his story straight on the stand”

“Roger Stone fully understands the power of words and the power of symbols and there’s nothing ambiguous about crosshairs.”

“In the media there’s no such thing as a take back.”

“Thank you, but the apology rings quite hollow … So no, Mr Stone, I’m not giving you another chance.”

Roger Stone could spend “up to 10 years in prison” for threatening a judge 😂  #MAGA  #LawAndOrder  ⚖️

“This. Is. Not. Okay,” University of Texas Law Professor Steve Vladeck tweeted. Vladeck also cited a statute, saying that depending on how Stone meant the post, he could be guilty of a felony.

That statute is 18 U.S.C. § 115, which says it’s a crime if someone:

threatens to assault, kidnap, or murder … a United States judge … with intent to impede, intimidate, or interfere with” the judge “while engaged in the performance of official duties,”  or with intent to retaliate against such … judge …  on account of the performance of official duties[.]

A threat under this statute can be punished with up to 10 years in prison.

This is both very troubling and remarkably stupid on Stone’s part. Twitter has already suspended his account and this may land him in custody. https://t.co/L3XYWBzsz0

Trump Team Criminal Record

When Trump sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing Russians. They're bringing treason. They're criminals. And some, I assume, are good people.

Trump's “best” Indicted and Convicted  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We’ve requested records on the leaked information Rudy Giuliani received concerning James Comey’s decision to reopen the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails. The leak may violate the law.

Truth is Truth: Rudy is complicit in Trump’s obstruction and #RussiaCoverup

Jeff Sessions and Congress, why is Citizens for Ethics‏ doing YOUR job?

CREW sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the FBI today calling for the release of all records pertaining to an investigation of the source that leaked information to Rudy Giuliani in October 2016, days before FBI Director James Comey’s announcement that the FBI was reopening the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails. Comey announced the investigation on October 28, 2016 in a letter to Congress on the basis that new information had been found but not yet examined by the FBI.

Two days before Comey’s letter announcing the reopening of the investigation, Giuliani appeared on Fox News and gave a statement indicating he was given information that had not been yet made public regarding the Clinton probe.
