scandal

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2017/08/01/president-trump-is-now-directly-implicated-in-trying-to-cover-up-the-russia-scandal/

If the Russia scandal is nothing but a witch hunt, as President Trump so often says, it's awfully strange that he's going to so much trouble to cover it up.

hmmmmmm

i mean it's foolish of us to call anything at this early stage

but "he did something illegal but he can probably get away with it" is a rather bad defense.

The defense is "the boy has cried wolf too many times". We've done this song and dance over and over and over in the last 6 months and I have no faith that what the WaPo is reporting on is any more legit than every OTHER time they claimed he was definitively linked to Russia.

Wanting certain details omitted so that Russia-Trump morons and the rest of the media wouldn't demand that Trump be executed for "treason" again is hardly a big deal. The info was already in the hands of those investigating the matter. The public doesn't need to know.

Can't say I agree, if the PotUS is actively trying to cover up something with a LIE the public most definitely needs to know.

Verdict is still out right now, will wait till more information about this comes out.

Interesting tid bit:

http://www.npr.org/2017/07/28/539802914/businessman-paints-a-terrifying-and-complex-picture-of-putins-russia

The so called adoption policy thing is Putin's reaction to the Magnitsky Act, a law that freezes the US assets of some of Putin's people (and probably some of his own assets). Putin has been trying hard to get that repealed. And the lawyer Jr. met with is kind of the lead on that front.

So saying she was just talking about adoption policy isn't just misleading... It also implies some knowledge of the situation.

So they admit trump helped his son craft his response to the meeting. That's bad. That still didn't mean he was colluding with the Russian government during the election. Unless the "Russia scandal" is now anything with the word Russia in it.
