‘How Bad is This Going to Get?’ Twitter Reacts to Ex-Soviet Spy’s Presence at Trump Jr.’s Meeting
Once again, Twitter is reacting to the new revelations about the meeting Donald Trump Jr. and his father’s campaign staff had with a Russian lawyer last year.
New reports indicate that when the president’s son, Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort met Natalia Veselnitskaya, there was a fifth person attending the discussions. This individual was reported to be a Russian-American lobbyist who used to serve as a Soviet counter-intelligence and military officer. It is possible that this former spy still has ties to the Russian intelligence community.
Since this story could prove to be the latest shakeup for the ongoing investigations into Russia, numerous people are taking to Twitter to deliver their first impressions:
Just how bad is this going to get?

This whole “real Americans in the heartland don’t care” about Russian meddling in the election thing is getting tiresome.

If true, this would likely have appeared on Kushner’s updated clearance form, and White House would’ve known days/weeks ago. https://t.co/wr5epRVADI
