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."

"A stopped watch is right twice a day". When the truth actually serves the Trump and/or GOP agenda they certainly won't shrink from using it. Even the deputy head of Obamas FBI has said there's probably no real truth to the Trump/Russia stuff (because there would have been leaks waaay before now). He certainly isn't a Trump supporter, and hoped the Mueller investigation would turn up enough garden variety corruption to impeach, which it most probably will... Both Washington and the average billionaire are neck deep in that kind of thing. I'm no fan of Trump, but the left will be hoisted on its own petard after Trump is out... already Black Lives Matter, the progressive left more generally, and even the anti-intervention right have been called Putin puppets and/or traitors in the media.
