Will Trump JR Take the Fall for Daddy?

[jnug]

Trump Tweet:

Fake News reporting, a complete fabrication, that I am concerned about the meeting my wonderful son, Donald, had in Trump Tower. This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics - and it went nowhere. I did not know about it!
8:35 AM - Aug 5, 2018

In this one tweet this morning, Trump backs over his own "on the record" statements about this meeting, throws his "wonderful son" under the bus and then tries to claim what is illegal as legal with literally no means to make that claim. He finishes that off with "I did not know about it" which will very likely turn out to be another lie that will be proven another lie.

If this guy were my client, I would just shoot myself and get it over with. Always said the weakness for Trump was the criminal exposure for his kids. We are about to see that play out. Now it is public knowledge that Don Jr lied to Congress. Good luck with that one kid.

So, there's no use of a pardon that you would object to, ever?

Black man pardoning black men.

 

[Skeptic Bob]

Excepting a pardon is also an admission of guilt, therefore eliminating the right to plead the fifth putting trump in even more legal jeopardy...

Hmm. Is that true? I know accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt, but I have never read that it negates your fifth amendment rights. I’m not saying you are wrong, just that that is new information to me.

My feelings on this Deuce, this Russia mania/fever crap is absurd. Don Jr responded to an e-mail about information about his father's opponent. Any campaign that wanted to win would be willing to listen about what this information pertains. It is called opposition research.

Only he accepted it and coordinated the release time of the stolen emails as his own emails clearly prove.

His in an open and shut case, all that remains to be seen is how trumps inept legal staff handles it. Do you let JR do the time, or hand him a pardon for his crimes and place trump into deeper legal jeopardy?

Can't pardon anyone if impeached, resign or die from a heart attack while in office.

odds:
1. Reasonable
2. Better
3. With heart disease, likely

Bannon is on record as saying that there is zero chance that JR did not put the Russian contact in an elevator and take her up to trumps office and meet with him.

Trump will never resign, he is far too much of a narcissist to admit he is a failure.

Carrot top has really been on a roll this morning. Since about 5:00am he has literally been blowing apart his presidency. I am sure he does not even know it and I am no longer even confident that there is anybody around him that will bring it to his attention. What good does it do them. He just ignores them.

I would not be surprised to start seeing more departures from the Trump administration now. Going down with the ship is really going to be going down and not coming up again. Sara Sanders career is likely over, a number of the cabinet officials are likely done. The only one of those that might well be done a loss to the country is Pompeo. Who cares about Bolton. Coats and Maddis are enough removed from this nonsense. Mnuchin is on the fence. Nielson is done. Devos is done but likely does not care. Carson is so done he is crispy by now. The ironic case is likely Sessions who will probably come out of this "revered" if he plays his cards right.

For all intents, the Trump Presidency ended at 8:35AM this morning. The rest is all the death throws and whether that phase takes us all the way to 2020 or not.

Oh Poor Poor Swampy Jr... Will you take the fall for your father?



Washington Post | Trump at a precarious moment in his presidency: Privately brooding and publicly roaring

JFYI, President Trump is calling this fake news. The conversation that WA Post alleges took place between the president and "confidents" never happened.
Just a suggestion, maybe you should verify your sources before posting.... :2razz:

I do not trust a known liar at his word. I also do not work for the Washington Post.

But you apparently do trust "the known liar's" trusted confidents. :lamo
Not hard to see why. You'll believe anything, trust any source that goes along with your anti-Trump agenda.

How is that different from believing everything the President says?

Dude, you used a "news" report with UNNAMED sources.

How is that any different than trusting a deranged twitter troll at his word?

If you want to keep posting "news" with unverified unnamed confidants of the president, by all means do so.
It's not my credibility that's on the line.

If one son is expendable, so are the other two.

Every single person in Trumps sorry life is expendable. He will throw anyone and everyone under the bus and then back it up a few times to make sure the bodies are not moving. He did that with his two former wives and has a sorry track record of loyalty to others.

He is a supreme narcissist whose mental disability makes it impossible for him to sympathize or empathize with any other human being.

You have not answered my question, about why I should believe the President when he says it's not a true story. Why should I believe him? That's the only other choice.
