I don't see anything in that letter asking about possible conversations about Russian Sanctions. So I ask again. Where was this bombshell months ago when the story first came out. Because it seems to me that if this was indeed a topic of conversation the people bringing it up buried the lead. It's possible it was discussed after Kushner left the room but I doubt it would have been kept hidden this long especially since the Russian lawyer hasn't shut up about the meeting since Kushner made it public when he filled out his disclosure and foreign contacts form.

No it wasn’t. But lying under oath was. But you know that.

Cut to the chase, what's your point?

For the Russian oligarchs & their supporters, the main objective is removing sanctions, it's no bombshell, & no one 'buried that lead'.

Right. And God help our elected officials if someone decided to prosecute them for giving favors to Israel in exchange for money. There'd be like 93 Senators headed straight to the hoosegow.

This whole Russia thing is stupid, which is fitting given the audience it's directed at.

Wrong. No names, no sources. Just baseless allegations, with no more credibility than yours.

Which is why what Obama did is so much MORE serious. How could you possibly fail to grasp that?

What the heck are you on about? President Obama signed the Magnitsky Act in 2012.

Natalia Veselnitskaya is a Russian lawyer who was hired by Russian oligarchs to lobby against the Magnitsky Act in the US.

She set up a Trump campaign–Russia meeting with Donald Trump, Jr., in June 2016 to remove sanctions.

LOL. Perhaps because it was really a $6 million lawsuit?

Y'all are hilarious in your lack of self-consciousness.
