For those long termers...you will recall that according to alot of news we have dug up regarding Putin, that Putin PURPOSELY stopped the Russian adoptions to the US. There is speculation that this is due to the large numbers of Russian children who end up abused or sacrificed in the US. Daily Beast article: http://www.thedailybeast.com/team-trump-kushner-and-don-jrs-meeting-with-a-russian-lawyer-may-have-been-a-democratic-setup
From the article:
"“It was a short introductory meeting,” Donald Trump Jr. said in a statement. “I asked Jared and Paul to stop by. We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago and was since ended by the Russian government, but it was not a campaign issue at the time and there was no follow up.”"
However, apparently the meeting was a set up by...Fusion GPS...
"“We have learned from both our own investigation and public reports that the participants in the meeting misrepresented who they were and who they worked for,” Mark Corallo, spokesperson for Trump’s outside counsel, said in a statement released a few hours after the original New York Times story published.
“Specifically, we have learned that the person who sought the meeting is associated with Fusion GPS, a firm which according to public reports, was retained by Democratic operatives to develop opposition research on the president and which commissioned the phony Steele dossier,” Corallo continued, referring to the strategic intelligence firm hired by anti-Trump Republicans, then by Democrats, to do opposition research on the candidate."
This is an EXCEPTIONALLY good sign. The outing of this meeting comes right after meeting with Russia. Kushner is HIGHLY suspect in my mind and DJTJr made a GREAT judgement call by including Kushner. Interesting that even though the meeting was a complete set up, they talked about kids...wonder how that was to work into the narrative? No matter now as BLOWN THE F**K UP!

Why do they care? I honestly don't understand. Off all the things to discuss or lobby or be concerned about why care about restarting an adoption program? It's such a strange choice of a "cause" to pursue. Does Trump Jr need to adopt a child from Russia? Does Kushner? If not, who cares about resuming the adoption program?Honestly, I am missing something about the big picture. Could someone cue me in?
