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."

    As a final remark, notice how your sole concrete example of the nefarious bad faith you're supposedly arguing against ended up with you creating this rhetorical cliff and then diving off of it. You shifted from the original argument to you voluntarily defending some pretty egregious lies as not lies. That's yet more supporting evidence for my claim that the sole common factor is you. You didn't have to do that. But even if you did, you didn't have to do it in a way that was guaranteed to lose.
