    So this is getting hard to keep track of.

    There was no meeting between Don Jr. and Russians.

    Then there was a meeting between Don Jr. and Russians but it was about adoption issues.

    Then it is reported Trump Sr. wrote the response.

    Trump Sr. denies he wrote the response.

    Trump Sr. admits he wrote the response for his son.

    Trump Jr. admits he met with Russians and it wasn’t about adoption but Clinton.

    Reports are out that Trump Sr. is scared his son is going to jail.

    Hours later Trump goes on twitter and tells is Sec. of State to get rid of Mueller.

    Trump Sr admits the meeting was about Clinton but he didn’t know about it.... and Trump Jr. did nothing wrong.

    Also in the middle of this the President says there is no collusion... then he says there was collusion by Democrats.... then says the Russians didn’t meddle in the election... then says they did by helping the Clinton campaign... then says that the Russians did interfere in the election.... then said they didn’t.

    Trump played baseball, and has hands like baseball mitts.

    Says Trump.

    So President Shitforbrains basically tweeted out a confession.



    "Getting information on an opponent" from foreign nationals is illegal.

    Mueller might as well go on vacation at this point. Trump is doing all the work for him.

    So.....based on that same law wouldn't the Steele dossier be evidence of the Hillary campaign breaking that same law...only they actually paid for it to they legit broke that law while there's no evidence that the Trump campaign solicited or actually accepted anything from a foreign national.

    I mean, the more you try to make this case, the more it points to the Hillary campaign rather than the Trump campaign.....so maybe look for a different angle.

    How is it not tiring to be lied to, constantly, Trump fans? @Nook laid out the constantly shifting narrative very well. Isn’t it exhausting to continue to go to bat for somebody this dumb?

    They are just going to say they never voted for him or supported him when he's out of office. You won't be able to find a Trump supporter then, it'll be a lot like Bush's term, you can't find many Bush supporters now, but the guy was a 2 term president, good luck finding admitted Bush voters.

    But they'll ride it as long as they can, 0 integrity, politics is too much like sports. Just like how sports fans support the worst kind of people as long as they play for their team, the second Trump is off the team they'll just say they never really supported him and Clinton would have been worse blah blah blah

    You also forgot Rudy G admitting on Fox News there was pre-planning meeting that did not happen and Trump was absolutely not a part of to prepare for the Russian Tower meeting.

    The Steel Dossier was paid for by the GOP to a private american company. When Trump won the RNC, then Clinton took it over. Still all based on the work done by an American private company.

    The most obvious law that was broken (but there are numerous) was the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

    And no, the Steele Dossier is not evidence of the Hilary campaign breaking any laws under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

    It's baffling really.

    Clearly I was talking about the law that the person I was responding to was accusing the Trump campaign of violating, not something you brought up afterwards.....that there's also not any evidence of.
