Trump Says Report He's Worried Don Jr. Broke Law With 'Totally Legal' Trump Tower Meeting is 'Fake N

Source: Mediaite

President Donald Trump rejected a report that he’s worried his adult son, Donald Trump Jr., may have accidentally broken the law during the 2016 election.

The Washington Post reported this week that Trump is concerned the Mueller probe into his campaign’s ties to Russia will have consequences for people close to him. According to one anonymous adviser, he’s worried Don Jr. “inadvertently may have wandered into legal jeopardy” with the Trump Tower meeting.

That meeting, held in June 2016, is back in the news since it was reported the president’s former lawyer Michael Cohen is claiming Trump knew about it in advance, despite repeated denials.

Don Jr. testified under oath that Trump did not know about the meeting beforehand.

Jr. didn't "accidently" break any law. The entire Trump crime family think they are above the law.

2. Trump admitting he lied about the meeting in his statement in July 2017 about June 2016 meeting

Aug 2018

Flying home from Germany on July 8 aboard Air Force One, Trump personally dictated a statement in which Trump Jr. said that he and the Russian lawyer had “primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children” when they met in June 2016, according to multiple people with knowledge of the deliberations. The statement, issued to the New York Times as it prepared an article, emphasized that the subject of the meeting was “not a campaign issue at the time.”

"Everyone meets with the Russians to get dirt on their opponents! I'm not worried about Jr. cause he's lower on the ladder and I can shake him off if necessary..."

Between admitting collusion in the Jr. meeting and the other tweet going full five year old mussolini on the entire free press, Trump seems to hit the accelerator and drove the bus right off the cliff this morning.

Things he knows are not the truth, or admitting he's trying to cover it all up with, or marginalize the truth with. He's admitting treasonous acts now from his patterns of doing this. I think he knows its over for him and his family now, but to arrogant and stupid, and too much con man in him to give it up, yet. He still thinks he can con his way out of it again.

He's admitted everything except whether he knew the source was a foreign agent and that should be obvious to confirm. Why should a person never tell lies?: because the truth is easier to remember.
