Mainecat Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Trump dictated son's misleading statement on meeting with Russian lawyer Source: Washington Post Trump dictated son’s misleading statement on meeting with Russian lawyer By Ashley Parker, Carol D. Leonnig, Philip Rucker and Tom Hamburger July 31 at 7:46 PM On the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Germany last month, President Trump’s advisers discussed how to respond to a new revelation that Trump’s oldest son had met with a Russian lawyer during the 2016 campaign — a disclosure the advisers knew carried political and potentially legal peril. The strategy, the advisers agreed, should be for Donald Trump Jr. to release a statement to get ahead of the story. They wanted to be truthful, so their account couldn’t be repudiated later if the full details emerged. But within hours, at the president’s direction, the plan changed. Flying home from Germany on July 8 aboard Air Force One, Trump personally dictated a statement in which Trump Jr. said 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 a story, emphasized that the subject of the meeting was “not a campaign issue at the time.” The claims were later shown to be misleading. -snip- Read more: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-dictated-sons-misleading-statement-on-meeting-with-russian-lawyer/2017/07/31/04c94f96-73ae-11e7-8f39-eeb7d3a2d304_story.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly stomping his foot immediately and showing who is boss should hopefully start to turn them out. Wonder who will turn up working for the Dems shortly.

Mileage Psycho Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Trump himself is his worst enemy, zero self control. Quote As special counsel Robert S. Mueller III looks into potential obstruction of justice as part of his broader investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, these advisers worry that the president’s direct involvement leaves him needlessly vulnerable to allegations of a coverup. “This was . . . unnecessary,” said one of the president’s advisers, who like most other people interviewed for this article spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal deliberations. “Now someone can claim he’s the one who attempted to mislead. Somebody can argue the president is saying he doesn’t want you to say the whole truth.” Edited August 1, 2017 by Mileage Psycho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, people will do what needs to be done to cover their ass when things start getting ugly, would you expose yourself to prison time for a standup boss like Trump?
