The lawyer says here, Trump did not know anything about the meeting, and did not find out about it till relatively recently. Therefore, the lawyer implies, that Junior never told Trump about the meeting at the time of the meeting, or directly afterwards..........according to the lawyer.

...Obviously, the meeting was illegal...so, Trump's lawyer says...Trump knew nothing.. It was all Junior's idea and is fault....Am I getting that right?

1. I'm inclined to think there was a pre-arranged plan for Jr to fling himself on his sword.

With the understanding that Daddy would bail him out with a well-timed pardon. I suspect that's how Jr. understands it, anyway.

3. Time will tell if that plan plays out.

That pardon will not sit well with many in this country..

4. "bail him out with a well-timed pardon"

Agreed... It will be forgotten in the next couple of years and Jr will still be making deals like papa..
uggh.....

2. I've said

I've said from the beginning, they either told Trump and they're lying about that, or they knew the meeting was wrong and didnt tell him so he could plead plausible deniability.

5. Give it a week. We'll learn that tRump was in that meeting, either in person

or conferenced in on a phone line.

The only question will be if Preibus, McConnell, Ryan and the other criminals were also dialed in. If I was Mueller, I'd be looking at all of the phone records from that timeframe for every one of these traitors.

6. With tRump hinting that there would be something about Clinton coming out really soon ...

during the timing of the meeting, it strains credibility that he didn't know something about it.
