CBS NEWS July 12, 2017, 8:04 AM

... Trump's personal attorney, Jay Sekulow, says that there was "nothing illegal" about .. Trump's son meeting with a Russian lawyer ...

"The meeting that took place, (there) was nothing illegal about it, there was not a violation of the law, no illegality," Sekulow told "CBS This Morning" on Wednesday ...

He added that it was "rather unremarkable in the sense that nothing transpired, nothing illegal took place" ...

"I want to be very clear, the president was not aware of this meeting, did not attend and was only very recently made aware of this email," he said. "In fact, he did not read the email until we saw it yesterday when you all saw it" ...

"My client did it." Only Jr's lawyer would try such a thing. Hey, wait a minute.

Sekolow is a proven liar. His public pronouncements are meaningless except to fill a few moments of air-time.

Like his client, Trump, Sekulow is an idiot.
