Second to none.

These guys are doing great work, despite
Trump's efforts to discredit them.

Russian-American lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin confirmed he also attended a June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower with Donald Trump Jr. that is being scrutinized for Moscow’s efforts to aid the Trump campaign, the Associated Press reported Friday, hours after NBC News broke the news. Trump Jr. did not disclose Akhmetshin’s presence at the meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya in statements and emails released this week. Akhmetshin was reportedly a counterintelligence officer during the Soviet era that is suspected to still have close Kremlin ties. Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and White House senior adviser, and then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort were also present at the meeting. lol

They are not helping their cause, it hurts their credibility (what's left) by not disclosing everything.

If those investigative Journalists had demonstrated the same degree of conscientiousness in investigating Obama as they do Donald Trump, who knows whether a former black Community Organizer would have been able to served two terms as POTUS,let alone be elected as such in the first place.

What was there to investigate about Obama? His birth certificate?

What about community organizing would have disqualified him?

Here comes another one who drank the Kool-Aid.

For your info, if Obama had any skeletons in his closet, they would have been exposed by even the so-called Lamestream media.

The Right tried everything to find dirt, even blaming him for the opinions of his pastor, and worse, they even tried to deny him his American birthright.


When all failed or was not convincing enough, they tried everything in the political playbook to hamper his presidency. If Obama proposed, they opposed, even if it was for the welfare of the country.

He has completed his two term, now far away from the presidency, yet they want to wipe any historical memory of it. That is not political opposition for the purpose of achieving something better, that's an inherent hatred of the black man, personified in Obama.

If not Obama, any other black man who had dared to rise above their expectations would have received similar treatment. That's the nature of a people with a collective inbred disposition to see Blacks as lesser.

It is promoted often blatantly, most times subtly, enough to capture the imagination of people like you, and sufficiently so that you would share and exhibit similar tendencies. That's what I call, drinking the Kool-Aid.
