it s a business i know well and studied. he is not filling these out in a way that i think is appropriate. he overstates the value of all sorts of assets. he lists revenue rather than income. imagine how well apple would be if it kept every dollar as pure profit. coming up the senate ju d h judiciary committee released donald trump junior s testimony today. and if you believe it, you re probably a member of the trump family. de assistance helped him to fix his flat so he could get home safely. my dad says our insurance doesn t have that. don t worry - i know what a lug wrench is, dad. is this a lug wrench? maybe? you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.
they showed a tremendous willingness to make this meeting happen. if you look at it, this is a very busy campaign, yet they moved heaven andert to accommodate this meeting. on the question of whether donald trump knew about the meeting, he either knew about it and they re all lying or they knew enough, the family did, to not tell him because proximity matters, one the proximity of how close the agalarov family was to donald trump, proximity the meeting was one floor from donald trump and proximity with donald trump and donald trump jr. and how much they talked about the campaign for a year. so it s hard to believe he didn t know. when donald trump jr. said i didn t want to bother him with it, this is someone we heard talking on the access hollywood bus, we see him spending his entire weekends playing golf, this is a guy who publically, donald trump, has all the time in the world to

difficulties about, you know, because they had special security at trump tower. but i found that rather curious. that the agalarovs wanted this meeting to take place, they got the meeting, and then right after that, there s a sizable personal gift for donald trump himself, who according to donald trump jr. knew nothing about the meeting, although as you pointed out, there s lots of questions about that. congressman swalwell, donald trump jr. didn t want to take any credit for running this meeting, so you have the difference in the testimony about donald trump jr. saying i don t he didn t ask anything about, you know, what do you have for us? and you have the russian witnesses saying he asked right away, what s the information you have for us? when he says, i don t recall. that is code for, yes, you re getting too close. that s something we heard from so many witnesses.
