OOOOOPSIE Daisy. Trump admits, on camera, that Don Jr. called him before the Russian meeting.

"[Don Jr] had a meeting and he called me and then he had the meeting after" -- did Trump just admit that @DonaldJTrumpJr called him *before* the Trump Tower meeting?

2. Help me with this.

I got lost.

[DetlefK]

42. It's about the Trump Tower meeting.

The meeting with Russians and the ever-changing story what happened there.
One of the Russians was Natalya Veselnitskaya, officially a lawyer working for the Russian Ministry of the Interior, effectively a lobbyist/diplomat for the russian government, who once tried to recruit a swiss law-enforcement official as a spy.

Don Jr. phoned SOMEONE before the meeting, but investigators never found out whom. Now Trump has admitted that it was him who was called, so know he's a witness to that meeting.

3. oops-a-doodle

[uponit7771]

4. YES HE DID !!! That's another reason why we know Red Don was triggered by Pelosi's "cover up" phrase

[thesquanderer]

43. Nah. He was quoting (as part of denying) what others had accused them of.

Listen (if you can) to the full statement. This is a nothing, unfortunately.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

5. Yes,. Right past the 4 min minute mark he said junior called him

[dhill926]

18. if you can listen to that asshole...

for 4 minutes, I will indeed pour you a drink...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

28. Haha. No you just slide the bar over to the 4 min mark silly

[dchill]

30. I know I did!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. Huh. Are you hills ganging up. :)

[dchill]

33. Unlikely. But who knows?

😀

[dhill926]

36. is that you, brother?

[dchill]

37. Where art thou?

[dhill926]

38. Hah! Nicely done...

[dchill]

39. Thanks, bro.

[FakeNoose]

24. He says "The crime was committed on the other side"

... but what the hell does that mean? The other side of what ... Trump Tower? The other side of the White House? The other side of the country? Maybe he's saying the Russian committed crimes?

He's basically not saying anything at all.

[Midnight Writer]

29. He's referring to the Hannity claim that Hillary was working with the Russians to set up Trump.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

31. Other side...I would guess are the rotten partisans at fbi who started the whole russia

Along with Hillary and Steele dossier.? Btw didn’t Jeb hire Steele?

Back to tape...it’s just a phrase in there where he says junior called him after meeting. He claims he knew nothing

[malaise]

27. Holy Shit!

Too good!

[Trumpocalypse]

6. That is called an oops! nt

[Iliyah]

7. Did corporate media pick up on this.

[ScratchCat]

8. I'm sure he said that because

Jr is going to have to tell the Senate committee that he did. They will just continue with the argument that the meeting was no big deal, opposition research and all...

[Zoonart]

9. Too late for that.

MF45 knew Intelligence was investigating Russian interference. Jr. tells him about the meeting. No one contacts Intelligence.

NO SALE.

[Botany]

10. Trump just admitted to knowing about the meeting both before and afterwards.

Bottom line Trump and company sold out America to Russia. Impeach his ass.

[triron]

22. Damn traitor. What is appropriate punishment for treason. And I don't give a damn we weren't in a

declared war. That's fucking obsolete. How is it even within the realm of sanity to declare war on Russia
during the nuclear age???

[jayfish]

11. It's Hard to Keep Track of Your Lies...

when everything you say is a lie.

[Thomas Hurt]

13. Meh, he doesn't care if he keeps track, lying is the same as telling the truth to Trump.

[oasis]

12. Kick him out

[Kota]

14. Sound like he ruined one cover-up. He's gonna hang himself.

[rurallib]

16. With Pelosi and the Dems handing him the rope to do it with

[MontanaMama]

15. Oh dear. MF45 always makes things worse for himself.

What a dumb ass.

[humbled_opinion]

17. #InvokeThe25th

[Evolve Dammit]

19. Did I say that? I didn't mean that. Fake News! Never happened. Russian adoptions. Gack!

[SergeStorms]

20. In order to hear that nugget of information...

I'd have to look at his hideous face and listen to his mind-scrambling speech patterns. Not to mention all the lies. I'll just take your word for it.

[Thunderbeast]

21. It was just a joke....really!

When I say that Don Jr. called me before and after the meeting, why would anyone believe me. Can't you see irony?

[tinrobot]

23. Here's a transcriiption so you don't have to listen to his voice.

"For a year, I heard about phone calls to a special number, unauthorized. And it would have been my son, Don. Who’s a good young man, who’s gone through hell. And they were calls that must have been made by him before and after the meeting – three calls. After massive study and work, they found who made the calls. One was a friend of ours, a real estate developer. Great guy, most of you know, nice guy, loves our country. And the other one was the head of NASCAR, two of them. So of the three calls that were so horrible that he had a meeting and then he called me and then he had the meeting after and he made two more calls and they were written about like this little little lines, couple of lines. Nobody wanted to admit it...."

He throws out so much word vomit that it's hard to read any context into it.

I think he was trying to pin the calls on other people, but it sounds more like it really was his son.

[Blue Owl]

25. Junior always does phone it in

n/t

[procon]

26. LOCK HIM UP!

Quick, there isn't enough rope in the whole country to keep him supplied with the amount he's using to keep hanging himself.

At this rate, Trump won't even need a prosecutor, just a high school kid from the Audiovisual class to run the video playback for the court.

[dchill]

34. "Presidential Privilege..."

That's a thing now?

[Hassler]

35. He's like an arsonist visiting his latest crime scene. Daring

The cops to arrest him.

[Maru Kitteh]

40. I think he's more like the underwear bomber, myself.

Always trying to blow shit up, but instead . . . . well, you know the story.

[Achilleaze]

41. Tuff for the republican draft-dodger-in-chief to keep his lies straight

No honor (R).

[BSdetect]

44. He then said that he did actually shoot someone on 5th Avenue but the msm missed that
