Don Jr. 'Regrets Taking' 2016 Trump Tower Meeting With Russian Lawyer

Source: Talking Points Memo

By Nicole Lafond | June 21, 2018 8:26 am

President Donald Trump’s eldest son — recently described by a source familiar with the Senate’s Russia probe as “too stupid to be malicious” — reportedly “regrets taking” the meeting with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower in 2016, according to a sweeping GQ report on Donald Trump Jr.’s efforts to vie for his father’s approval.

But Trump Jr. doesn’t regret taking the meeting because revelations of its existence effectively augmented the investigation into the Trump campaign and Russian interference in the 2016 election.

“He regrets it because it ended up causing a situation that wasted a lot of time and money,” a source close to Trump Jr. told GQ.

That attitude is reflective of Trump Jr.’s entire approach to infamous meeting, which included former campaign and recently imprisoned Paul Manafort, Trump son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner and others. According to an unnamed meeting participant who spoke with GQ, when Trump Jr. realized that the sole purpose of the meeting was to discuss the Magnitsky Act and Russian adoptions, he zoned out.

He lied about even having the meeting and then about the purpose of the
meeting which he said was about adoptions.

As I recall, in retaliation for the Magniskty Act Russia had shut off the US from adopting Russian children. So in the trumpian world of fact vs. fiction this is a true statement.

Oh, yeah, that meeting. About adoption or something, right?

I already wrote a statement about that meeting, I think.

Oh, yeah. Daddy wrote the statement.

OK, he didn't write it. He dictated it. Maybe that's the wrong word.

But it definitely wasn't a meeting about sabotaging the election with help from a foreign adversarial government.

Because nobody in there was trying to do that.

Well, some people were.

Oh, yeah, my emails. Uh, can we start over?

Who cares, Donnie? Who cares?

It was either
1. take the meeting or
2. spend that time in some other nefarious or immoral activity.

You cheat at politics, you cheat on your wife, you cheat dead elephants of their tails after murdering them. Choosing the meeting should be the least of your regrets.

And yet a new story, ("zoned out"?) He agreed to the meeting to get dirt on Clinton, NOT to discuss the Magnitsky Act. Once he realized he wasn't going to get the dirt he was hoping for he lost interest, just like Roger Stone!!
