Keep coming at me guys!!!: Donald Trump Jr. meets Russia scrutiny with defiance

Donald Trump Jr. had just posted a batch of private messages he exchanged with WikiLeaks during last year's campaign, confirming reports that he communicated with the website that published stolen Democratic emails obtained by Russian military intelligence.

"More nothing burgers from the media and others desperately trying to create a false narrative," the president's oldest son wrote on Instagram. "Keep coming at me guys!!!"

Over the course of the week, Trump Jr. went on to tweet or retweet criticism of his father's 2016 rival, Hillary Clinton; actor George Takei; Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.); and former vice president Joe Biden, sharing unsubstantiated claims about him from an anonymously sourced blog post.

Faced with deepening scrutiny of contacts he had in 2016 with people tied to Russia, the 39-year-old has adopted a provocative response: defiance.

In public appearances and on Twitter, Trump Jr. has taken an increasingly caustic tone, mocking critics and shoving himself into the scrum of the country's most polarizing debates.

It's an unorthodox legal strategy for someone under scrutiny by congressional investigators, whose every word could be used against him. But the approach fits with the real estate executive's growing public persona as a right-wing provocateur and ardent defender of Trumpism.

He's being awfully cocky for someone in his position. Not only is Mueller after him, but Schneiderman is too. Even if he gets pardoned for federal charges there is nothing that can be done for him if they get him on state charges.

Remember he was quoted as saying “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets. We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia." He's too stupid to know when to keep his mouth shut. Sooner or later he is going to hang himself.

He has NO IDEA what he might be facing. Actually, he knows, intellectually, but hasn't accepted it emotionally. He thinks he'll skate.

He thinks this is how you win - brazen it out, counter-attack, yadayada.

The fact he's a congenital idiot doesn't help.

never falls far from the shit tree. He figures it's worked for his dear father for his entire life, why not try that tack for himself. Here's a little clue for both of you, you're both going to the 'Big House', along with your asshole attitudes. Couldn't happen to two nicer guys. And let's throw brother-in-law Jared in with you just for kicks. He's a slimy little weasel too.

They have a good shot at walking away with no penalty.

Trump may cut a deal giving them all immunity in exchange for him
leaving the WH.

Note: He is shouting defiantly (under the influence of cocaine) at his would-be assassins after having been shot by them several times, and is shot in the back immediately afterwards.

When and if they get out, I hope there are a pile of detainers on them. As soon as they walk outside the gate, a law-enforcement team will be there with an arrest warrant from another jurisdiction.

and so on

That's how life has always been before and now his dad has even more power.

We'll just see if Mueller outplays them or not.
