Say about this controversy after the sort of the statement after statement that changed the story a little bit on donald trump jr. s meeting with this russian lawyer. He basically said my son is a high quality individual, hes been transparent and open. Hes come out and given the whole story. But there are a lot of questions that still remain and in the white house i think theyre very well aware these are not questions that are going to go away and theyre not questions that theyre prepared to take. Theres a lot of legal jeopardy around this meeting. Theres a question of whether the president himself knew about it. Of course we heard donald trump jr. Say in the interview last night that he had not discussed it with his father. But that is going to really hamstring their ability to get ahead of this story. I think there are a lot of questions about what more the president can say without getting a little too close to what is really one of the more damaging revelations of the last few week
clinton/russia. i would have wanted that in the hands of the fbi and off my computer as fast as possible. i think there was a lot more happening in realtime. i don t accept that the president didn t wasn t part of it. you know, the same day that donald jr. accepted the invite to attend the meeting trump himself said, you know, in a few days we re going to have a big speech that lays out the terrible things that hillary clinton has done. i remember that day, we put together a whole team to get ready to defend. defend her. and that never came. this speech never came because i have to surmise they didn t get anything out of the meeting. did you have a sense that any of this was going on? obviously the intel agencies didn t come out until october the 7th to present what they knew. did you on the clinton campaign feel like something was happening there? i suspected that it was we knew that the dnc had been hacked by that point. right around that same day.
