So Trump confirms the Tower meeting was about getting info and not "adoptions" He admits conspiracy.

.......................

Yes it is illegal, its conspiracy with a foreign enemy and you actually just pleaded guilty to it. Its like he wants to be jailed....He just screwed his son literally.

[superpatriotman]

1. Moving the goalposts again

Be best, scumbag.

[sunonmars]

4. He actually just admitted to conspiring with a foreign nation. He's dumb as fuck.

[displacedtexan]

13. Being dumb as fuck is the only defense Trump has left.

Why is it that we are still told that ignorance of the law is no excuse, but President Two Week Vacay can claim he didn't know conspiring with the Russian government to defraud the US is perfectly fine?

[malaise]

2. Keep talking asshole

Lock him up Mr Mueller!

[peekaloo]

3. Considering Jr.'s new girlfriend, exposure has different meanings.

[C_U_L8R]

5. Not legal at all

You can't get campaign help/contributions of any kind from foreign agents. Not to mention the conspiracy to obstruct and cover it up. You knew it was illegal.

[sunonmars]

7. Its also treason for conspiracy against the US as a nation, could be argued to swing an election

[Hugin]

10. But... but... but... The Lipid Yellow did not know about it.

It says so tacked on the end of them there tweet like a sore toe.

[mnmoderatedem]

11. yeah I had the same reaction

no that is NOT legal. What a dumb fuck

[muriel_volestrangler]

16. That obstruction bit is important - Trump Sr. cooked up the story about "adoption"

to cover up the attempt to get foreign interference in the election. He's admitting to obstruction now. It'll be another bit of evidence on Mueller's long list.

[sunonmars]

18. His lawyers must have just shat their pants seeing this little gem of a tweet.

[muriel_volestrangler]

20. I'd think they must have been spending the past weeks documenting how he was going against

their advice, to try and have a career left after this is over.

[Goodheart]

6. If it was all so legal and innocent from the get-go, then why did he feel the need to lie about it?

[Goodheart]

9. And one other thing.... his lawyers, I'm sure, are banging their heads against the wall.

[Achilleaze]

8. "Strong is the arrogance in this republican Draft-Dodger." - Ye Olde Yoda

[sunonmars]

12. He's practically just put everyone in that room in the clink......

[sunonmars]

14. Mueller must be rubbing his hands going "got him, just hung himself".

This has to be up there with the dumbest statements in history, its like a bank robber holding his hands up with the dollar bills in his hands.

[DFW]

15. One minor detail, there, Ronald McDonald:

"This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics...."

It is NOT done all the time coordinating with the successor to the KGB. I suppose that the explanation of that would take more than 140 characters, so it might have escaped his notice.

[sunonmars]

17. Do we think he realises he just handed Mueller all he needs to jail a lot of people?

[DFW]

22. I don't think he realizes much of anything

He realizes that his people carefully plan rallies attended by people ignorant enough to cheer every incoherency he spouts, and thinks Giuliani will take care of the rest.

Trump is one of the few people who can watch Giuliani's rantings on TV, and nod in agreement instead of wondering what in the world Rudy has just said.

[BeyondGeography]

19. This must be Squirmy Sunday

Sounds like someone needs a hug.

[Scarsdale]

30. Hope Hicks just

boarded AF1. Where is daughter/wife Iwanka?

[kentuck]

21. Mueller warned him to watch his tweets.

But, he listens to no one.

[duforsure]

23. Media needs to expose what he's doing

Projecting the opposite of the truth, and trying desperately to cover up all of their acts of treason , and corruption.

[Duppers]

24. K & R

[Corgigal]

25. Manafort probably thought

keeping Trump out of the room, but just a few floors up was brilliant. Plausible deniability, but this team isn't ready for prime time. He's not worried about Jr., he's worried about himself.

[maddiemom]

41. Melania is obviously starting to get worried about her boy, Barron.

Eric is the only buffer left. I don't know where Jared will fit in, but Ivanka will have no blame attached, and I don't think he remembers Tiffany, who can probably breathe easier.

[blueinredohio]

26. Is congress going to do something now?

[Johnny2X2X]

27. Will he stop saying No Collusion now?

He just admitted to collusion and criminal conspiracy.

[bucolic_frolic]

28. Interview no longer necessary

an efficient blabbermouth deserves all he gets

[Freethinker65]

29. Expect a "clarification" or "what he really meant to tweet was..."

[BSdetect]

31. He admits guilt openly yet the gop will do SFA.

Traitors all.

[Garrett78]

32. This admittance was made over a year ago by Junior himself.

"Obviously I'm the first person on a campaign to ever take a meeting to hear info about an opponent... went nowhere but had to listen." July 10, 2017

https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2017/jul/14/timeline-shifting-accounts-trump-tower-meeting-rus/

I don't really see how Senior repeating what Junior said is big news.

Mueller had that info long ago. Does Mueller have proof that Trump Sr. knew about the meeting and has lied by saying he didn't? That's the big question.

[maddiemom]

33. Was it Don Jr. or Eric Trump punched out for dressing too casually when he came to his dorm door?

[2golddogs]

35. Don

It was Don, Jr. He was in college, and Tramp Sr. Picked him up to attend a pro baseball game. The story is that Jr., appropriately dressed for a game in a team jersey, opened the door to let Tramp in and dad slapped him and ordered him to put on a suit and tie.

[Mr. Ected]

34. This whole Trump, Jr./Kimberly Guilfoyle engagement is kubuki theater

To humanize him, to make him a sympathetic character. What a load of shit.

They know he's going down, that he has no defense, and the only way to protect him is to re-imagine him as a man in love.

This works when your base thinks that reality TV is real.

[ScratchCat]

36. As predictable as rain in the spring

they pivoted to "yeh, we met with them but its all legal". Now, they will say its no different than the Steele dossier. I think they already started.

[Sancho]

37. On AM Joy today..."stupidity is not a legal defense!!"

[world wide wally]

38. He meant to say "NOT get get information on an opponent"

[Buckeyeblue]

39. He is setting us up for a blanket pardon

Once the midterms are over, he is going to issue a blanket pardon for everyone involved in this. Until then, he will keep repeating that there were no crimes committed. Then when he issues the pardon, he will say the laws that were violated were fake laws, or something like that. I think he will pardon himself as well. It will be interesting if he pardons Pence (mother would not want that).

[Iliyah]

40. Yes, every presidential campaign

always meets with a foreign hostile enemy to obtain dirt on their opposition.

It's standard.

Oh really, only his cult will believe that bullshit.
