http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/did-president-trump-dictate-the-false-statement-or-was-it-president-putin...But piecing together this timeline and based on President Trumps own account, we can say that he knew his advisers were discussing how to respond to a press story about the June 2016 meeting. He had a secret conversation with President Putin at which they discussed the issue of Russian adoptions. Then hours later he dictated a false statement to be released in the name of his son in which he claimed that Russian adoptions were the topic of the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting. That is a highly troubling chain of events to put it mildly.
For a long time I've been a big fan of Josh Marshall over at Talking Points Memo. I'm in awe of the journalism done by him and his staffers. It's not his fault he's started to sound like Alex Jones: it's the FUBAR world we've woken up in.
Apologies if this was posted before and I missed it.

Could very likely be true, it wouldn't surprise anyone

He's plenty clever.
