from what i ve heard, it s hard for don junior to get so he took this meeting. we learned from the saudis, israelis, and he took this meeting trying to help his father. he kept trying to bring it back to hillary, dirt on hillary or hillary clinton in some what, and what s interesting to me is that one of the participants i talked to said they came away feeling sorry for donald trump junior. one of the congressional investigators felt sorry for them. this person who is such an angry, defiant kind of angry troll on the internet defending his father evokes such kind of condescending sympathy from people he encounters. michael, you come away from julia s article realizing the way limited importance of the meeting was long ago eclipsed by
