Remember: this is coming from a guy who said their last president wasn't even American and wanted to see his birth certificate for proof.
So he is admitting the witch hunt he orchestrated wasn't as good as the one against him. SAD!

Unsurprising but the original "It was about adoption" line about the campaign's meeting with Russia was from Trump and his people.

As Air Force One jetted back from Europe on Saturday, a small cadre of Mr. Trump’s advisers huddled in a cabin helping to craft a statement for the president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., to give to The New York Times explaining why he met last summer with a lawyer connected to the Russian government. Participants on the plane and back in the United States debated how transparent to be in the statement, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Ultimately, the people said, the president signed off on a statement from Donald Trump Jr. for The Times that was so incomplete that it required day after day of follow-up statements, each more revealing than the last. It culminated on Tuesday with a release of emails making clear that Mr. Trump’s son believed the Russian lawyer was seeking to meet with him to provide incriminating information about Hillary Clinton as “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”

So they put him on Hannity to field softball questions, amazing how this "Government" works. He's so smug and entitled he's approaching "Pharma Bro" territory

Dems from the House Justice Committee send a letter to Sessions asking why the DOJ dismissed a $230 million money laundering case. The case was being prosecuted by Preet Bahara (the lawyer that was told would be staying on at the DOJ but then was fired). The other side was being represented by Natalia Veselnitskaya the lawyer that Donald Trump Jr. met with to get help from the Russian government.

The case was settled for $6 million 2 days before going to trial.

Fox News quoted the Trump Jr email, but replaced the part about the Russian Government wishing to help the Trump campaign with an ellipsis.

Articles of impeachment filed by Democrats against Donald Trump

Quote:
Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) formally introduced an article of impeachment against President Trump on Wednesday that accuses the president of obstructing justice during the federal investigation of Russia’s 2016 election interference.

This is the first time a lawmaker has offered an impeachment article against Trump, and comes as Democrats have debated whether it is politically wise to press the case for impeachment at this time.

A majority vote in the House, currently controlled by Republicans, is required to impeach a president. Republicans have a 46-seat advantage.

So no chance of it passing. What's the point of even introducing it at this point?

Protest at this point against everyone else's wishes... Proper thing would be to let Mueller finish things up first.
