Adam Davidson on the ever-shifting story of That Meeting in Trump Tower. It's now evolved to the tale that Trump formerly said was a dirty lie. As Davidson notes, we now know these four things…
- The President's son and top advisers knowingly met with individuals connected to the Russian government, hoping to obtain dirt on their political opponent.
- Documents stolen from the Democratic National Committee and members of the Clinton campaign were later used in an overt effort to sway the election.
- When the Trump Tower meeting was uncovered, the President instructed his son and staff to lie about the meeting, and told them precisely which lies to use.
- The President is attempting to end the investigation into this meeting and other instances of attempted collusion between his campaign staff and representatives of the Russian government.
And Trump is also insisting that all of this stuff — which he and his people denied for so long — was or is legal. Can't wait to see what else he's been denying and trying to hide was legal, too.
