like bill clinton, seems to have an approximate approach to the truth as if saying it is a last resort. donald trump, jr. gave three explanations for what happened. the last one is the one that's most obvious and the most believable. they get a call. there is someone with oppo research, why not. the only answer to why not is it's a foreign power, a hostile foreign power. ukraine is a foreign power. a lot of countries try to influence american elections. we tried to influence elections among democracies, israel is a prime example. but russia is an adversary working against us. putin is not a friend of the united states. they could say these were amateurs. the trump people weren't aware of the fact. not a great defense. it's not something you want to do to get together with an adversary in the middle of an american election.
