NYT: Trump Jr. Says He Wanted Russian Dirt to Determine Clinton’s ‘Fitness’ for Office (Paywall)
Donald Trump Jr. told Senate investigators on Thursday that he set up a June 2016 meeting with a Russian lawyer because he was intrigued that she might have damaging information about Hillary Clinton, saying it was important to learn about Mrs. Clinton’s “fitness” to be president.
Opening statement from Crown Prince Donald J. Trump, Jr.:
Mr. Chairman, let me dispel your confusion,
I never engaged in any collusion.
That time I met with a roomful of Russians?
I never dreamed there could be repercussions.
Hence dispense with the pillory.
All I wanted was dirt on Hillary,
something to cast doubt on her fitness
that's the God's honest truth, as Jared's my witness.
It is so rude to think I'd collude
I only was helping Uncle Vlad to intrude
to assure dad became president.
Your insinuations I deeply resent.
I did not with Russians co-ordinate.
I simply ate what they put on my plate.
My email reply did say "I love it."
I can't deny it. (But you can go shove it!)
Why must I suffer this partisan rancor?
How come no one, EV-ER, questions Ivanka?
