Trump was shocked alright like a president about to be impeached. When they tried to impeached Rosenstein they sped up the investigation and Cohen flipping it's enough to send Trump into shock.

This is the meeting where nothing happened, correct?

For a minute I thought Rudy was talking about Trump. Maybe the 100 tapes will back Cohen.

I'm not even fucken surprised. That 2 hour meeting needs to be investigated, on the basis of National Security.

Lying to the press is not a crime. However, what are the chances this is a warning about what not to lie about to a most important person?

Did you hear Giuliani try to defend trump? Glad he's not my lawyer

Drag Junior in front of a grand jury and ask him again if he told Daddy about that meeting or whether Daddy knew about it before or after. I bet that Junior will plead the Fifth.

Trump jr. said " my father didn't know of the meeting". Few months later inside the courthouse Trump jr. says "I meant to say DID...my father did know of the meeting. I misspoke."

I love this he gives us permission now to retrieve those servers !! Good job michael helping us change the laws that were broken to begin with

[paulmorphy]

Remember that Steve Bannon said that there was no way that Junior didn't bring those Russians to daddy's attention.

Traitor tRump knew, and gave a speech days before promising new dirt in the Clintons. Talk about a history of lying...Spanky Bonespurs is our liar-in-chief.

[PrudentStudent]

What a surprise! We are all shocked about it. We are just sick about it! Hope he doesn't spend too much time in the Gulag.

[Joe-fzni]
