Trump attorney Sekulow: Secret Service allowed Don Jr. meeting, which proves it wasn't "nefarious."

[Miles Archer]

One of President Donald Trump’s personal lawyers defended a meeting that the president’s son had with Russian nationals during the 2016 campaign, suggesting the fact that the Secret Service allowed the meeting showed it was not “nefarious.”

“Well, I wonder why the Secret Service, if this was nefarious, why the Secret Service allowed these people in. The president had Secret Service protection at that point, and that raised a question with me,” Jay Sekulow, a member of Trump’s legal team, said on Sunday on the ABC news program “This Week.”

Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., acknowledged meeting with a Russian lawyer in New York City during the 2016 presidential campaign after he was told she might have damaging information about his father’s rival, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

According to emails released by Trump Jr. last week, he eagerly agreed to meet the woman, who he was told was a Russian government lawyer. The woman, Natalia Veselnitskaya, said she is a private lawyer and denies having Kremlin ties.

2. So what is the secret service's job again?

Just to make sure the folks allowed in weren't armed? More than that?

6. This lawyer is just throwing garbage at the wall. He'd best be careful what he wishes for, as the

main task of the S.S. is to track down FINANCIAL FRAUD.

7. Okay, I started a fight in the club. But it wasn't nefarious: The bouncers had let me in.

8. Smarmy

Smirking arrogant bitches.

12. Uh, no, asshole. Good that they're picking incompetent lawyers, though.

SS are bodyguards, not advisors and not regular cops. They're around to make sure daddy's little boy didn't get mugged, murdered, or even kidnapped. That is the full extent of the job.

I can't believe somebody who made it through law school is this stupid. Or maybe he's a Trumper who thinks everybody else is stupid enough to buy this line of total bullshit.
