The 31 most important, insightful and just plain odd lines from Donald Trump Jr.'s Russia testimony

[NCTraveler]

(CNN)On Wednesday morning, the Senate Judiciary Committee released a slew of transcripts related to its investigation of a June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower between the top brass of Donald Trump's presidential campaign and several Russians, including Natalia Veselnitskaya, a Russian lawyer.

The meeting was arranged by Rob Goldstone, a publicist for Emin Agalarov, a Russian music star and the son of billionaire Aras Agalarov, with the express purpose of sharing "dirt" on Hillary Clinton. It has become one of the critical moments of the ongoing special counsel investigation into Russia's interference into the 2016 election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign.

The transcripts released Wednesday provide the most detailed version of events of that day we have seen to date. (You can see them all here.)

I zeroed in on Don Jr.'s testimony -- all 232 pages of it! -- given that he is not only the eldest son of the President of the United States but was also Goldstone's contact in setting up the meeting.

2. Jr. isn't smart enough to pull off this nonsense

. "It did not talk about what got them into the door and I didn't expand on it because I didn't think it was relevant to discuss what the meeting was not actually about even if that's what the email was."
