Stop trying to distort the law

President Donald Trump has said in a recent tweet that the meeting at Trump Tower between his son, Donald Trump Jr., and a Russian attorney to get information on presidential opponent Hillary Clinton in June 2016 was “totally legal.”

I have a news flash for you Donald — it wasn’t.

You may be able to distort and twist other things and get away with it, but you can’t distort the law.

It is illegal to solicit or accept something of value (including information) from a foreign adversary (like Russia), especially regarding a presidential election.

You may have been able to get away with doing shady things as a businessman, but it is much more difficult to do that as a politician.

As the wheels really start coming off this Trump con, his juvenile tweets become even more petulant and whiny. Thank goodness for tweets. We all know Trump to be a rather pathetic, meanspirited, little man from his words.

Nobody has shown that Donald Trump Jr. got any information. He just got lobbied. Hillary Clinton bought information on Trump via a dossier written by a former foreign service officer. See any charges pending there? Mike Smith

People who are defending Trump must have very strong backs. They keep moving the goal posts. If there was nothing nefarious about the meeting, why lie about it? Mike Bigalow
