Trump dismisses reports he's concerned about Trump Jr.'s legal fate
The Hill ^ | 08/05/18 08:55 AM EDT | BRETT SAMUELS

President Trump on Sunday pushed back against reporting that he's concerned that his son Donald Trump Jr. may be implicated in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

"Fake News reporting, a complete fabrication, that I am concerned about the meeting my wonderful son, Donald, had in Trump Tower," the president tweeted.

"This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics - and it went nowhere. I did not know about it!" he added, defending the meeting that has become a flashpoint in Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 campaign. Fake News reporting, a complete fabrication, that I am concerned about the meeting my wonderful son, Donald, had in Trump Tower. This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics - and it went nowhere. I did not know about it!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 5, 2018 Trump appeared to be referring to CNN and Washington Post stories published Saturday, both of which reported that he is becoming increasingly anxious about his son's legal fate.

Early morning Tweets, event filled daily schedules, evening rallies around the country — the Regressive Deep State Ruling Class Elitist Socialist knotheads and their media lickspittles can’t keep up or compete with PDJT. He controls the narrative and the news cycle. Winning!

“Junior and the Sea Bass”...sounds like a children’s TV show.

And even if he did know about it.....so what...

Remember, it was Obama who made special arrangements for the broad to be in the US at all.

The whole meeting was a setup by Obama and company.

The Russian honey pot.....Natasha Veselnitskaya....was barred from entering America.

Obama’s attorney general, Loretta Lynch, gave this Rusky Natasha Veselnitskaya a waiver to enter our country.

Why?

I dunno. I liked her on FOX, but I don’t know whether she’s a middling, good, or outstanding attorney. I can’t tell from watching banter on The Five.

Why? So she could be debriefed by Fusion GPS immediately before and after the meeting. Oh, they say that was on some other non-related matter. I'm not buying that, either.

i've heard (altho can't source it) she was a pretty intense prosecutor. i imagine those skills would transfer well especially when mixed with passion

I don’t care even a little bit if he lied. I don’t care even a little bit if he broke the law. I don’t care even a little bit.

I learned that from the Democrats.
