Trump Jr.’s Meeting Might Not Rise to Treason
But it’s still shady as hell.
.. Despite Don Jr.’s posing, nothing in the e-mail is exculpatory. In many ways, the full context is worse than the Times’ story. While I’m sure many campaigns — including the Clintons’ — have dabbled in this kind of sordid effort, it’s still unethical.
.. Nor does it matter whether the biased mainstream media have gotten dozens of stories wrong about Trump and Russia (they have), or whether they are out to get Trump (they are), because the facts on this story have panned out. If it were no big deal, Trump Jr. would not have lied about it.
.. the Democrats, of course, immediately began offering the most severe condemnation, which will only make a legitimate concern another partisan clown show.
.. Not everything dishonest is “treason” or an impeachable offense.
