I should prob just stay out of the fever swamp that is this thread, but I just can’t understand the hysteria about the Trump Tower meeting. Here’s what liberals have said (or re-posted) in just the last few pages:
1. Trump Jr lied about the purpose of the meeting. [No, I don’t think he did if you look at his statements from last July. His first statement was limited to what was discussed at the meeting. The subsequent statements in the next couple days acknowledged that the purpose of the meeting was for something different than what they actually got. Those statements aren’t inconsistent. They pertain to different things - the purported purpose of the meeting versus the content of the meeting.]
2. Trump lied about knowing about the meeting. [Did he? I’m not so sure. But if he did so what? What was actually wrong with the meeting?]
3. Well if there was nothing wrong with the meeting why did he lie about it? [Again did he lie? But assuming he did, maybe he just thought it politically embarrassing to admit they took a meeting looking for dirt on HRC].
4. COLUSION! Attempted COLUSION!!! [What? What is COLUSION? Is it a crime?]
5. Conspiracy!!! [Conspiracy to do what? Conspiracy can be a standalone crime, but only if committed in furtherance of some other illegal activity. Conspiracy to collide? See point 4.]
I really don’t know where the libs are going with this. I question whether they even know. Or maybe they just chant their daily mantra “Mueller will figure it out. Mueller will figure it out.”
