Jr. 'made a mistake'

BY CYRA MASTER - 07/16/17 10:34 PM EDT

... "Donald Junior made a mistake," former Trump adviser Michael Caputo, said, "and he’d do it entirely differently if he had an opportunity" ...

"There was no collusion. Do you think that place was organized enough to collude with the lunch counter across the street. It just wasn’t."

Defense in brief: "We're too incompetent to be criminals!"

If you can think of 25 of them, you're a genius. Junior ain't no genius. But he is a fucking 39-year-old multimillionaire with five kids. This is no youthful indiscretion or rookie mistake. This is criminal behavior.

Being disorganized.

Then campaign chief Paul Manafort is experienced and he was at the meeting and probably was there to for the same reason Don. Jr. was. To get dirt on Hillary. Why didn't this raise red flags for Manafort?

It's no mistake that Junior's ever-changing alibi has been nothing but a string of lies. Mistakes are simple to explain... conspiracies less so.
