Hannity will spend the whole time talking about how it must be the Dems who arranged it or something.
"Now is it possible... hear me out... that Nancy Pelosi might have some involvement in this?"
Sexually?
JK farmers
The "failing" NYT must have some damn good anonymous sources to get their hands on those emails. Sources who want to take Trump down. I love it, especially late in the summer.
*anonymous White House sources
One friend of Trump Jr.'s said the presidential son saw the Hannity appearance as an opportunity to give his version of Richard Nixon's ”Checkers" speech, a 1952 address in which the then-vice presidential candidate defended himself against accusations of financial improprieties.
Oh Shit. Lt. Colonel Ralph Peters a usual on Fox news just destroyed Tucker Carlson.

Destroyed, huh? :-/

I don't get it.
I feel really strange at how surprised I am at the lengths Fox News has gone through Trump's presidency so far to protect him. Like, I knew they were bad and I should have known they were this bad, but holy fucking shit. They just lower the bar every single day.

Especially since they were doing everything in their power to take him out during the primaries to no avail. Now they just bend over for him.
Category 5 hurricane: White House under siege by Trump Jr.s Russia revelations
President Trump who has been hidden from public view since returning last weekend from a divisive international summit is enraged that the Russia cloud still hangs over his presidency and is exasperated that his oldest son and namesake has become engulfed by it, said people who have spoken with him this week.
This portrait of the Trump White House under siege is based on interviews Tuesday with more than a dozen West Wing officials, outside advisers and friends and associates of the president and his family, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to be candid.
The makeup of Trumps inner circle is the subject of internal debate, as ever. Ivanka Trump, the presidents daughter and senior adviser; Jared Kushner, her husband and another senior adviser; and first lady Melania Trump have been privately pressing the president to shake up his team most specifically by replacing Reince Priebus as the White House chief of staff, according to two senior White House officials and one ally close to the White House.
The mind-set of Trump Jr. over the past few days has evolved from distress to anger to defiance, according to people close to him. He hired a criminal defense attorney, but maintains that he is innocent of any wrongdoing. After his tweets commenting on the matter drew scrutiny, he agreed to his first media interview with his friend, Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity, Tuesday night on his show.
One friend of Trump Jr.s said the presidential son saw the Hannity appearance as an opportunity to give his version of Richard Nixons Checkers speech, a 1952 address in which the then-vice presidential candidate defended himself against accusations of financial improprieties.
Trump continues to view the Russia controversy as an excuse used by Democrats for losing an election they thought they would win and an attempt to undermine the legitimacy of his victory, aides said. They said that the presidents frustration is based on the media coverage of his sons actions, as opposed to the actions themselves.
Trump and his advisers are deeply frustrated that the disclosure by Trump Jr. has overshadowed the positive coverage they expected to receive from the presidents trip abroad, as well as other issues they hoped to spotlight this week, such as the Senate health-care bill and trade.
A handful of Republican operatives close to the White House are scrambling to Trump Jr.s defense and have begun what could be an extensive campaign to try to discredit some of the journalists who have been reporting on the matter.
Their plan, as one member of the team described it, is to research the reporters previous work, in some cases going back years, and to exploit any mistakes or perceived biases. They intend to demand corrections, trumpet errors on social media and feed them to conservative outlets, such as Fox News.
But one outside adviser said a campaign against the press when it comes to Trump Jr.s meeting could be futile: The meeting happened. Its tough to go to war with the facts.
Other senior White House officials were hesitant to talk about Trump Jr. even on the condition of anonymity for fear of exposing themselves legally.
Some top officials, as well as outside advisers, had earlier suggested that the White House conduct its own internal review to identify any potential problem areas related to Russia so that it can release the information on its own rather than be caught unaware by news reports. But that notion went nowhere, in part because officials were afraid to discuss any potential Russia interactions that could make them targets of Muellers probe.
It wasnt naivete, said Michael McFaul, the U.S. ambassador to Russia under President Barack Obama. It was, Oh, they have some dirt on our opponent and Im eager to receive it. Nobody thought to think, Well, how did they obtain that? Is this coming from the Russian government, Russian intelligence? Those are the kinds of obvious questions that should have been asked, in my opinion.
Pence found out about Trump Jr.s meeting with the Russian attorney Friday evening in advance of the first Times story, said one person familiar with the discussions. Both Pence and his team view the Russia coverage as a distraction, and are working to keep the vice president clear of it and focused on Trumps policy goals such as health care, the subject of his scheduled visit Wednesday to Kentucky.

"Putin is as bad as Hitler" is a pretty out there argument to make, but Tucker is an absolute fuckwit so just seeing him get upset is worth it.Uhhhh they both come off fucking awful here?

Bringing hitler inyobthe discussion gave Tucker cover to hide behind which was a mistake. He was trying to say they were both brutal and unforgiving dictators which is true. Clearly, the scope of their crimes can't be compared.
It's hard to go to war with facts when the suspect already confirmed some of those facts.But...I mean...that's what the GOP has been doing for years. It's been made plain that their supporters just don't care about facts. Mind you, I'm hopeful that Mueller has or is gathering everything he needs to forge the legal equivalent of Narsil, but this quote just stuck out to me.

In a way, I feel bad knowing that Junior grew up unloved. But fuck him, he's evil and in order to get on his dad's good graces/will, hes willing to do do anything.

I assume the majority of the administration like Sanders and Spicer are just hanging around in order to get a book deal later on.
