Fake News reporting, a complete fabrication, that I am concerned about the meeting my wonderful son, Donald, had in Trump Tower. This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics - and it went nowhere. I did not know about it!

I meant to say "this wasn't a meeting to get information on an opponent"
Wait for it.
His use of 'totally legal' destroys that possibility.

Is that code for: "we're measuring the road clearance of the bus we're throwing Don Jr. under"?

Oh I forgot they didn't make him swear under oath and didn't insist he answer their questions when asked. Assholes.

...on one hand, yes...he didn't testify under oath. On the other, lying to Congress is still a crime, whether he was under oath or not. He can still get nailed for that.
