BTRTN: Dear Donald, Junior...

Born To Run The Numbers with some urgent advice for Donald Junior from outside the Trump bubble...

http://www.borntorunthenumbers.com/2018/08/btrtn-dear-donald-junior.html

"First, your Dad is telling people that you never told him about the Trump Tower meeting. In his August 5 tweet, your father took pains to make sure that the buck stops with you. He ended the tweet with an emphatic 'I did not know about it.' So if someone ends up going to jail because of that meeting, who exactly does your Dad think it should be? But that's not all, Junior. Your Dad's got you coming and going. After claiming that no one told him about the meeting before it happened, he offered that huge weasel -- that to the "best of his knowledge," nothing happened after. So if there was any follow-up, well, your Dad is putting all that on you, too...

So you need advice about how to navigate the very dangerous waters that lie ahead, perhaps from someone who isn’t named Trump, owned by Trump, controlled by Trump, or lackey to Trump. Here’s mine. Your father is a corrupt, soulless, amoral cheat, but that’s not the part that bugs me. What bothers me is that he appears to be ready to flush his flesh and blood down the toilet to save his own butt. It seems to me that he has already communicated what his choice will be when it comes to saving his skin or yours...

He knew about the meeting, Donny. You told him about it. You may soon be asked about this exact issue under oath. When they ask what you know, do the right thing. Tell the truth. That’s all the advice you need."

I saw a video clip last night on the cable news in which Roger Stone is quoted as suggesting that he thinks Donald Trump Jr. may be indicted for lying to the FBI. That would suggest that Trump Junior has already spoken to the FBI. Is that true? Does anyone know about that?

He can't, doesn't know how because he couldn't recognize the truth if it walked up and bit him on the peepee.
