The L A Times article is a lie from the outset. It basically says that Trump Jr spoke to President Trump about the meeting. I didn't see anything there to lay out how the President "helped write" a response to inquiries about the meeting with Russian attorney Veselnitskaya.
Trump Jr was called and offered information about the Hillary Clinton campaign. What campaign WOULDN'T answer that offer to see what they could offer about the opposition? Certainly there is no dirty trick that the Hillary Clinton campaign didn't resort to, including corrupting TWO DNC chairs, corrupting DNC officials at the highest level to suppress Bernie Sanders in the primaries, to unethically rig Hillary as the DNC presidential candidate, and getting the answers to TWO different televised debates in advance from CNN consultant Donna Brazile. That's for OPENERS.
Plus all the other openly treasonous acts by Hillary Clinton, involving her illegal e-mail server, bribes selling State Department access to foreign donors in exchange for millions in foreign contributions to the Clinton Foundation. INCLUDING CLINTON/DEMOCRAT CAMPAIGN COLLABORATION WITH VESELNETSKAYA, URANIUM ONE, FUSION GPS, AND THE UKRANIAN GOVERMENT. The very Russian enemies Trump is accused of collaborating with! Far more ACTUAL Hillary/Democrat Russian conspiracy than the alleged piddly nonsense Trump Jr is merely hinted at doing by the liberal media!
There is nothing illegal that President Trump has to even defend himself from. Whereas ACTUAL PROSECUTABLE CRIMES by Hillary Clinton, James Holder, Loretta Lynch, James Comey, Huma Abedin and Anthony Weiner are completely ignored, in the Left's and liberal media's zeal to distract from the real corruption and smear Trump unfairly.
Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.
EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
