Giuliani admits:"The meeting (Trump Tower) was originally for purpose of getting info about Clinton"

The President spends the morning tweeting about what a scam the Russia investigation is. Before 10 am his lawyer once again confirms, yes, indeed: there was collusion. Donald Trump's campaign manager, son, and son-in-law met with Russians to get dirt on their opponent.

🚨 🚨 Just now on @MeetThePress with @chucktodd:

Rudy Giuliani, lawyer for President #Trump, says “the meeting [at #TrumpTower] was originally for the purpose of getting information about Clinton... That was the original intention of the meeting.”



.@RudyGiuliani on the Trump Tower meeting: "The meeting was originally for the purpose of getting information about Clinton…That was the original intention of the meeting. It turned out to be a meeting about another subject and it was not pursued at all." #MTP

Giuliani:
"All they knew that a woman with a Russian name was going to meet with them, they didn't know she represented the Russian government," @RudyGiuliani says on the Trump tower meeting. #MTP

Yes, no, yes, no, yes, no......

Rudy keeps putting his foot in his mouth. Keep digging, Rudy. Trump is going down, and taking Rudy with him.

It's okay for Trump to go to a foreign source to get dirt on Clinton that may have been hacked but unfair for the Democrats to hire a private investigator to do opposition research on Trump.

It seems like they know there's going to be damning info come out but if they can brainwash enough Republicans to keep him from being impeached, thats good enough.
