The Washington Post and MSM are proved to be correct and accurate again, while Team trump is proved to have lied again. This time on the WH statement about trump's involvement in the letter to the NYT about Don Jr.'s meeting with the Russians.
Orginally Jay Sekolow said trump had NO INVOLVEMENT in the letter that he admitted was prepared on board Air Force One.
A few days later, Sara Suckabee said trump had 'WEIGHED IN ON IT, as any father would.'
At the time, WaPo reprted that trump Sr. had DICTATED the letter himself. The WH vehemently DENIED the WaPo story.
Now, in the letter from trump's lawyers to Mueller, trump ADMITS DICTATING that letter.
https://edition.cnn.com/2018/06/02/p...ans/index.html In a confidential letter to special counsel Robert Mueller in January, President Donald Trump's legal team acknowledged for the first time that Trump "dictated" the first misleading statement put out about his son's controversial 2016 meeting with Russians at Trump Tower.
"You have received all of the notes, communications and testimony indicating that the President dictated a short but accurate response to the New York Times article on behalf of his son, Donald Trump, Jr.," the letter said, according to The New York Times, which published a copy of it.
After the initial statement came out, news outlets reported Trump was involved in preparing the statement. Some reports said he helped draft it, others said he personally "dictated" the words.
In their public responses to the news reports, however, Sekulow and White House press secretary Sarah Sanders denied Trump's role.
The letter revealed on Saturday puts to bed the question of Trump's involvement, but it doesn't erase the previous denials from the record. Here are those examples.
Trump lawyer Sekulow, CNN interview, 7/12/17: "That was written, no that was written by Donald Trump Jr. and I'm sure with consultation with his lawyer. That wasn't written by the president."
Sekulow, ABC interview, 7/12/17: "The president didn't sign off on anything. He was coming back from the G20. The statement that was released Saturday was released by Donald Trump Jr., I'm sure in consultation with his lawyers. The President wasn't involved in that."
Sekulow, NBC interview, 7/16/17: "The President was not — did not — draft the response. The response came from Donald Trump Jr. and — I'm sure — in consultation with his lawyer. ... Let me say this — but I do want to be clear — that the President was not involved in the drafting of the statement and did not issue the statement. It came from Donald Trump Jr.
Sekulow, statement to the Washington Post, 7/31/17: "Apart from being of no consequence, the characterizations are misinformed, inaccurate, and not pertinent."
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, daily press briefing, 8/1/17: "He certainly didn't dictate, but he -- like I said, he weighed in, offered suggestion like any father would do."
open borders?
open bathrooms?
free college?
free healthcare?
or just hating Trump?
Bernie supported closing the borders. The bathroom issue isn't even a real issue. If the wars are free why shouldn't health care?
It's not hard to dislike Trump. That's not something new. He's a pretty dis likable type of person.
