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.

    Oh, but they do - maybe not plates of gold, but things of equal value, out of the goodness of their hearts

    Which would still actually be illegal if from a foreign natural. We (used to) take foreign interference in our elections so seriously that we wanted to ensure it beyond the shadow of a doubt.
