Seth Abramson: Implication of Buzzfeed is that Trump ALSO Instructed Jr to Lie To Congress




Everyone realizes Trump *also* told his *son* to lie to Congress, right? I mean, nobody is doubting that, based on the evidence we have, right?

2/ Trump Jr.'s lies to Congress were... *extraordinary*... in their depth and scope. The idea he'd walk into Congressional testimony planning to lie to Congress (a federal crime) and never run it past his father first to make sure that's what Trump wanted him to do... no—he did.

3/ And note that Trump *also* issued orders to both Steve Bannon and Corey Lewandowski about how they should avoid Congressional questioning that in *each* case required the man to make false claims of "privilege" that would have led to Contempt findings with a Democratic House.

4/ Trump has **very** clear patterns of criminality recognizable to anyone who's worked in that milieu and many who haven't. There is no such thing as a "one-off" in such circumstances. Anything Trump did once (suborning perjury, witness tampering, obstruction) he did habitually.

blissful O.D. (Me too.)
Good OP.
Maybe Jr should check in every once in a while. Just so we know where he's at. For the 'bracelets'. And I dont mean the one Kimberly G. slaps on him when she taps his ass.
And uh...Have a blissful weekend Mr M.
