The "Donald Trump series" template

I really question whether the "Donald Trump series" template belongs on this page. (That's the massive infobox-style thing on the right side of the article page.) IMO his connection to Donald Trump lies somewhere between peripheral and nonexistent. Thoughts? --MelanieN (talk) 16:35, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, the template should be removed. - FlightTime (open channel) 16:41, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'll remove it. If anyone wants it put back, let's discuss it here. --MelanieN (talk) 17:05, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Meeting Attendees

We now know from https://apnews.com/135216fe8c2c459993d5f5740bc67c15 that Russian-American lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin also attended the meeting.

Given the email transcript https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/07/11/us/politics/donald-trump-jr-email-text.html it seems questionable that Goldstone planned to attend the full meeting, and likely that Emin Agalarov did in fact plan to attend the full meeting. Goldstone writes on June 7, 2016 at 4:20pm "Emin asked that I schedule a meeting with you and The Russian government attorney who is flying over from Moscow for this Thursday" and later writes at 5:19pm the same day "Perfect won't sit in on the meeting, but will bring them at 3pm and introduce you etc." As Goldstone, in his 4:20pm email, mentioned just two people (other than himself), it is logical to deduce that Goldstone's reference to "them" in his 5:19pm email is likely to refer to Emin Agalarov and the Russian government attorney (Natalia Veselnitskaya). CNN is also reporting here http://edition.cnn.com/2017/07/14/politics/donald-trump-jr-meeting/index.html that "[a] source familiar with the circumstances told CNN there were at least two other people in the room as well, a translator and a representative of the Russian family who had asked Goldstone to set up the meeting."
