Secret Service responds to Trump lawyer: Russia meeting not screened

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Secret Service responded on Sunday to President Trump’s personal lawyer Jay Sekulow’s claim that Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Russian lawyer during the campaign would not have happened if the Secret Service had considered it “nefarious.”

“If this was nefarious, why'd the Secret Service allow these people in?” Sekulow asked on ABC’s “This Week.”

"The president had Secret Service protection at that point," he said. "That raised a question with me.”
However, that protection did not extend to Trump Jr. at the time, according to the Secret Service.

2. SS protection was for Trump, of course. Lying liars.

4. Wow...this is a new low.

Trump and his minions are throwing anything and everything against the wall (in the hopes something sticks) to deflect/distract the collusion committed with the Russians during the campaign.

5. Now they are messing with the Secret Service?

Stupid, stupid stupid.

6. Donald Trump Sr and Jr Are a traitosr and should resign

End of story.
They are traitors to the USA.

7. Sekulow needs to return to begging poor people to send donations to his "religious"

endeavor, his ability to defend his clients is terrible.

Under the bus you go!

9. Gee, guys? Here's the quote:

"Donald Trump, Jr. was not a protectee of the USSS in June, 2016. Thus we would not have screened anyone he was meeting with at that time,” Secret Service spokesman Mason Brayman said in a statement to Reuters on Sunday.

10. The excerpt should be that mini-Trump was not a protectee at the time.

Sekulow, like the dutiful RepubliCON that he is, is muddying the waters with nonsense that he should know about. But true to RepubliCON form, he'd rather spout fake pseudo-facts than discuss the truth.

You don't have to quote the first four paragraphs automatically (or quote the first three TWICE as happened).

You can select any four paragraphs. I often select two that set the stage and two that are the crux of the article.

11. Despite Trumpkins' attempt to trash the Secret Service, those agents would take a bullet for them.

Trump and all the people connected to him are ungrateful, traitorous, grifting scum.

13. And that really pisses me off

because not only is Trump looking more and more each day like an illegitimate president, he's careless with the lives around him. I can't imagine.having to do that job.

12. Suck-u-Low is a lying vermin.

He has only slightly more credibility than his client.

14. Jay Suckalot is doing a shitty job so far.
