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

President Donald Trumps eldest son recently described by a source familiar with the Senates 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 fathers approval.
But Trump Jr. doesnt 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.

(2,313 posts)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?

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.
