WASHINGTON — If President Trump emerged from his meeting with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia last week hoping he had begun to “move forward” from the controversy over the Kremlin’s election meddling, as advisers put it, his flight home the next day made clear just how overly optimistic that was.

As Air Force One jetted back from Europe on Saturday, a small cadre of Mr. Trump’s advisers huddled in a cabin helping to craft a statement for the president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., to give to The New York Times explaining why he met last summer with a lawyer connected to the Russian government. Participants on the plane and back in the United States debated about how transparent to be in the statement, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Ultimately, the people said, the president signed off on a statement from Donald Trump Jr. for The Times that was so incomplete that it required day after day of follow-up statements, each more revealing than the last. It culminated on Tuesday with a release of emails making clear that Mr. Trump’s son believed the Russian lawyer was seeking to meet with him to provide incriminating information about Hillary Clinton as “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”

The Russia story has become the brier patch from which the president seemingly cannot escape. It dominated his trip to Europe last week and, after he leaves on Wednesday night for a couple of days in France, it may dominate that trip as well. Every time Mr. Trump tries to put the furor behind him, more disclosures thrust it back onto the Washington agenda.

1. If he wants the Russian story to go away

then he needs acknowledge Russian tampering and pursue it in an attempt to get to the bottom of it.

[MyNameIsKhan]

2. Trump campaign colluded with Russians and accepting it will have him impeached...

Mitch Mc got his justice and lets see when his patience goes away.

[Ohioboy]

8. I was being rhetorical.

Of course Trump can't pursue the Russian story with the goal of getting to the bottom of things. He knows damn well where that would lead.

[Squinch]

3. BUT this revelation was too easy. Trump(R) Jr. is taking a fall so they can hide something worse.

And if they were willing to admit to collusion, which they have been denying forever, I would wager whatever this is hiding is MUCH worse.

[MyNameIsKhan]

5. Yes and its possible NYT has more emails if they managed to get this one.

[Squinch]

7. Or the same leaker will leak them. The other thing Trump(R) Senior's involvement in drafting

the original bullshit story tells us is that Trump(R) Senior is in this up to his eyeballs.

[MyNameIsKhan]

9. NYT is setting up trap and all the lies will be debunked ... mark my words

[Squinch]

10. The sooner the better. I'll be watching for it.

[triron]

12. yeah like the Russians hacked the election results

[Squinch]

13. That's my guess.

[gratuitous]

4. You know what a responsible, experienced officeholder would do?

Unsurprisingly, neither does President Trump. Imagine this happening under Obama? No, you can't, and here's why: After the very first "oopsie" disclosure by a high-ranking official (like, oh, say, the National Security Adviser), Obama and his chief of staff would have called everyone in and laid it on the line: "Go back over your disclosure forms, and make sure they're 100% complete. I know a lot of you reviewed this with counsel, but go over them again. No exceptions. If there are any supplements, amendments, or corrections, get them filed within 48 hours. This is your top priority, no excuses. If you have no changes, notify Rahm immediately. Anyone who doesn't either update their filing or tell Rahm there are no changes should make sure their resumes are in order. Got it?"

Instead, the Trump administration has been continually embarrassed, making excuses, and changing stories to fit the new information they have to disclose. This isn't rocket science, but for a President and his staff who don't know jack shit about governing, they're getting repeatedly whapped in the face in a yard full of rakes.

6. They are running whitehouse like a mafia will do ... they are above everyone...

[A-Schwarzenegger]

11. cockroaches scurrying in the spotlight

[MiddleClass]

14. Obviously trumps political spin staff, sucks that the job

They said first it was about Russia's adoption.

A 2 second search would show you that was Russian reaction to the congressional action.

Which was about seizing Russian mobsters, money in American. Because murder of reporter.

A second excuse was trying to blame the Russians were contacting him.

She said junior was excited to get in touch with her.

A third excuse was trying to get out in front of the 2 early lies, which were going to be exposed.

And basically volunteered that he did a criminal act,

what a bunch of morons

[MyNameIsKhan]

15. Now Jr says Drumph did not know, NYT will debunk it very soon.

[MiddleClass]

17. Right you are, NYT, probably 5 minutes after you posted that, documented the decision on AF1

Now proof that Don The Con knew about the Russian meeting,

morning Joe made it out pretty good that he did, now we need Junior to keep talking

[L. Coyote]

16. Time to flush the toilet.

Or maybe give someone a job cleaning the toilets in prison.

18. Love it
