Campaign Advisor Now Contradicts Trump: Says Donald Ordered Ukraine Change at RNC

Donald Trump is having a very, very bad week. As reports emerge that several of his key advisers, including Attorney General Jeff Sessions, met with the Russians the week of the RNC convention, one former adviser has now publicly changed his story to contradict his former boss.

As people are questioned under oath and penalty of purgery is enforced, stories start to change.

If someone from the Trump Administration is under oath, they testify and either:

A) Avoid perjury by telling the truth,
B) Risk Trump suing them for breach of his non-disclosure agreement,
or/and
C) Unburden themselves and their conscious.

Non-disclosure agreement would have no force if under oath in congressional investigation.

Any decent attorney would tell you that there are only two choices; tell the truth or take the Fifth if necessary.

I feel absolutely no sympathy for them. They all need to go down with him.
