5News reports:

President Donald Trump appears to have changed his story about a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that is pivotal to the special counsel's investigation, tweeting that his son met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer to collect information about his political opponent.

[...] That is a far different explanation than Trump gave 13 months ago, when a statement dictated by the president but released under the name of Donald Trump Jr., read: "We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago."

    Played by shills who try and scream the sky is green is more like it.

    Once again, whataboutism is a terrible method of arguing. Is that all the weak sauce you've got to defend your traitor in chief?

    Yea sure, its whataboutism. Good luck with that line on normal people. If the anti-trump stuff like that i keep seeing everywhere since 2016 isnt some false flag to associate that position with toxic idiocy Ill be really surprised.

      Good. I look forward to your discovering the anti-trump stuff that you've been seeing everywhere is in fact toxic idiocy and that no false flags are necessary to reveal that we actually managed to elect the most incompetent President in history.

        Heres what I see happening, the dnc has been tricked into supporting a "getting dirt on political opponents from russians is treason" narrative, so that the legal reasoning can be used to go after the clinton campaign whom has already been publically identified as doing that in a whole slew of documents and interviews. Meanwhile the evidence of the same from the trump campaign seems to still be lacking.

          You realize Mueller doesn't read this stuff right?
