Trump Jr. email confirms collusion attempt: Darcy cartoon | cleveland.com

While the email chain, between Trump Jr. and an intermediary for a Putin-connected Russian real estate tycoon, may not be the definitive “smoking gun” proving collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, it certainly confirms a collusion attempt was made.The email chain began in June, 2016, when an intermediary for a Russian business associate of President Trump, emailed Donald Jr. stating: “The Crown prosecutor of Russia…offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father.”   The email added, “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”Donald Trump replied to the offer of Russian-provided dirt on Hillary Clinton, writing back, “If it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer.”    As it would turn out, the most damaging Russian-hacked Clinton emails were released by WikiLeaks later in the summer.

Chris Uhlmann Australia’s Political Editor: Trump ‘has no desire and no capacity to lead the world’ | 3CHICSPOLITICO

Speaking on Sunday from the G20 conference in Hamburg, Uhlmann said Trump had shown “no desire and no capacity to lead the world” and was himself “the biggest threat to the values of the west”.“He was an uneasy, lonely, awkward figure at this gathering and you got the strong sense that some of the leaders are trying to find the best way to work around him,” Uhlmann said.“Where was the G20 statement condemning North Korea which would have put pressure on China and Russia? Other leaders expected it, they were prepared to back it, but it never came.”

Maddow receives fake NSA Docs in attempt to discredit Russia reporting | 3CHICSPOLITICO

So while this president and his administration continue to claim that American journalists are on some anti-Trump crusade when it comes to Russia, it appears that someone – a person who wants the Trump-Russia story to go away – is intentionally distributing forged documents.The real fake news isn’t coming from Trump critics or trusted news organizations – it’s coming from an entity or person who wants to undermine journalists and protect the president.

That said, here’s a rundown of how America already leads in space.
