On the morning of the meeting in question, which is confirmed to have taken place at Trump Tower, an Associated Press reporter named Jonathan Lemire tweeted that he had just seen Reince Priebus walking into the building (link). This isnt proof that Priebus was in the boardroom for the meeting, but it in confirmation that he was in Trump Tower for the meeting. There was no other reason for him to have shown up there. There was a RNC fundraiser in New York that day, but it was at a different building.
CNN is reporting tonight that Donald Trump Jr.s attorney has coughed up some details about the eighth person at the meeting, insisting that the person was a U.S. citizen and was not employed by the Russian government while referring to the individual as having been a man (link). Juniors attorney was attempting to make things sound more innocent by confirming that the eighth person wasnt yet another Russian government representative. But instead, he ended up offering a description that just happens to fit Reince Priebus.
Its important to note that during the time of this meeting, Priebus was still the Chair of the Republican National Committee, and he wasnt working for the Donald Trump campaign in any way shape or form. So if he was in the meeting, it means the titular head of the Republican Party was officially in on the plot to conspire with the Russian government to rig the election on Donald Trumps behalf. Look for proof soon that Priebus was not only in Trump Tower for the meeting, but physically in the meeting as well.

Priebus was in Trump Tower earlier that day, that was confirmed. But no one is saying he was in meeting.

(115,975 posts)Or maybe a whole barrel of it. Palmer is not a particularly reliable source; he "reports" rumors, gossip and speculation. Note that he says only that Priebus was in the building, not that he was at the meeting. Maybe it will turn out that he was, but I wouldn't take Palmer's word for it. Let's see what a reputable source comes up with.
