Don Jr. Releases Email Chain That Shows He was Eager to Collude with Russia
-
After so many denials, calling it a hoax and a witch hunt, coming from his father and from Don Jr. himself, Don releases an email chain that shows he knew the Russian government was interested in helping Trump get elected. Instead of reporting it to the FBI, he said, "I love it."
The President has been uncharacteristically silent. Instead of tweets, we hear crickets. -
It's pretty ironic that he is being brought down by an email scandal. Pence has been quiet. I suppose he is on the phone with movers getting ready to move into the White House.

Pence actually released a statement distancing himself from the scandal. Quite different from his usual sycophancy:
"The Vice President is working every day to advance the president's agenda, which is what the American people sent us here to do," press secretary Marc Lotter (Pence's spokesman) said in a statement.
"The Vice President was not aware of the meeting. He is not focused on stories about the campaign, particularly stories about the time before he joined the ticket."
