Nefarious actions don't just suddenly occur as if in a vacuum.

Most individuals do not do a deep dive into complicated news. Unless people are regular viewers of someone like Rachel Maddow for example, they really have not one clue as to what is actually going on.

Because of this, people tend to view potentially criminal acts as a stand alone event. Taking the infamous meeting at Trump Tower as an example, my guess would be that most people who hear about it view it as just something that somehow dropped out of the sky and does not have a connection to anything else. "Yes, I heard there was some kind of meeting with Donald Junior, but the president said he did not know much about it".

But that is not how real life works. The Russians didn't just happen to show up there. Donald Jr. did not just happen to call a blocked number after the meeting. Junior did lie about it. Why? Now Trump is saying "to the best of my knowledge" instead of "no collusion". Why has he changed his tune?

Trump Sr. probably is aware of each time that Jr. takes a piss. And we are expected to believe that Sr. knew nothing of this meeting, and it had no relationship to anything else or anybody else? Just like that? Unfortunately, many in this country do not have the will or energy to even do a simple Google search about this meeting, let alone do any type of their own analysis in which to base an opinion on.

After all, the meeting just *poof*...happened.
