    Cool Breitbart editor says Trump Jr's Russia meeting ‘is straight up collusion’ in private

    Breitbart editor says Donald Trump Jr's Russia meeting ‘is straight up collusion’ in private chat



    A Breitbart editor has suggested Donald Trump Jr’s Russia emails amount to “straight up collusion”.

    Raheem Kassam, the editor-in-chief of Breitbart London, is said to have made the remarks during an exchange on the far-right publication’s internal messaging application Slack.

    According to a transcript of the conversation obtained by CNN, Kassam said: “So like, this is straight up collusion. Right?”

    Minutes before the President’s oldest son had disclosed an email exchange on Twitter from June 2016. It showed his communication with an associate trying to arrange a meeting with a Russian lawyer claiming to have information that could damage Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

    The intermediary describes the “high level and sensitive information” as “part of Russia and it’s government’s support for Mr Trump” – following months of denials by the Kremlin and White House over alleged interference in the election.

    “I love it,” the younger Trump responded, setting up a meeting that later took place at Trump Tower in New York, on 9 June last year.


    Kassam, a former chief advisor to Nigel Farage, told The Independent his private remark was taken out of context.

    “The slack message was not a statement that I was making. It was taken out of context by Oliver Darcy [the CNN journalist]."

    He added: "If I were to say the comment to you over the phone, it would be in a sarcastic tone posed as a question, but he wanted to read into it what he could.”

    Kassam challenged Ukip's November 2016 leadership election before dropping out of the race at the end of October.

    His campaign slogan "make Ukip great again" took inspiration from President Trump. Kassam has previously labelled his movement as "Faragist" and joked that he was the ”Faragest of the Faragists“.

    Kassam joined Breitbart as managing editor when conservative columnist James Delingpole set up the British post of the conservative publication in 2014.

    Steve Bannon, White House Chief Strategist and the former executive chairman of the site, declared Breitbart "the platform for the alt-right” - a political movement which has been accused of racism, antisemitism and misogyny - after taking the reins around four years ago.

    Bannon transformed the agenda from ultra-conservatism to anti-establishment, anti-immigrant, nationalist and unabashedly pro-Trump during the presidential election. It is now the most widely-read Conservative site in the US and has been dubbed “Trumpbart”. The President gave numerous interviews to the site in the build-up to the election, boosting its traffic to a 124 per cent spike in 2016.

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Raheem Kassam says so; well, there you have it from the intellectually challenged left!

    Thread translation:

    "When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."


    A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

    They can't afford to, they are all so out of whack and excuses for losing they let their trump card out of the bag too early (no pun intended), I'm sure they were holding the Jr thing back in case he would run for an office in the future. Last ditch effort until they can come up with some other claim to try to bring down the administration?

    It truly baffles me how anything ever gets done, surely the Founding Fathers never thought this is how it would end up?

    Bingo.

    By now Trump needs to assume his enemy is holding cards on him. They probably knew about the kinda-sorta collusion for some time but didn't play the card until it was most expedient.

    Which is actually telling, it means they don't have the Smoking Gun, since it would have come out by now. We are nine months into Russia mania, with multiple investigations---and still no real evidence that Trump colluded with Russians in the election.

    They either can't accept it's a myth, or they realize it but see it as their best card to play in support of The Resistance.

    "I'm sure," that was your first mistake, and your, conservatives, need to keep referring back to the election and their Hillary phobia proves the desperation.

    Let me help you out, nobody cares about Hillary, nobody cares about the election, it is all the Don's show now, and he ain't doing to good by any standard

    So your saying conservatives should feed their paranoia?

    And it's always amazing how conservatives keep saying there is nothing there cause KremlinGate has been around for nine months now while they fully supported BenghaziGate that lasted thru nine redundant "investigations" for six years straight

    It's only the beginning, and all that has come out has been arrived at without the subpoena and immunity tools of a real investigation
