Keith Olbermann Retweeted Donald J. Trump

So YOU would have gone to it?

You did, didn't you?

Most politicians would have gone to a meeting like the one Don jr attended in order to get info on an opponent. That's politics!

They lied about the meeting, and tried to hide the fact that there ever was one.
Then they got caught.

So now Cheeto says, what's wrong with this? Anybody would do it. So yeah, then why lie about it?

Caught with your pants down - AGAIN!

In the next week or so, do we find out that the 9th or 10th person in the room was Donald J. Trump?

They should have had this meeting at an airport in a hanger because so many unexpected people showed up.......

It wasn't about oppo research, it was about selling out the country to the Russians.

If *anyone* would attend the meeting, why did they lie about it?
They knew they were breaking the law, that's why.

Maybe they didn't understand about "collusion" yet, but they definitely knew what "treason" meant.

against America.

Only the ignoble republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief and his cabal of republican colluding comrades would sink so low as to commit treason against the USA.

republican treason is deplorable.

Trump just didn't bother to learn that politics has rules, especially when dealing with a hostile country.
