It seems real fishy to me.

He is attempting to regsin his credibility with the Democrats on the Committee by permitting them to have an interview with Don Jr, in my opinion.

(23,083 posts)Burr's motives, probably the same but maybe not???
Jarqui
(10,122 posts)His son will be prepped by a team of lawyers with a statement and a run through of Q&A known in advance from GOP Senators to dilute the perjury charge potential against him.
They're pretending he'll fight it kicking and screaming all the way.
But he'll just follow the misinformation script like GOP pundits do with their talking points.
Meanwhile, the Dem Senators won't have access to the full Mueller report or the underlying evidence they would have otherwise used to question him.
From the GOP perspective, this is a prime time to subject him to this.
seems real fishy to me as well.

(44,996 posts)And a coordinated whitewash of his prior perjury.
I expect our Democratic Senators to be very prepared.

Sanity Claws
(21,846 posts)They referred Prince for perjury prosecution but apparently will give Junior to correct his lying self.
Just a guess.

(54,770 posts)correct and "inaccuracies" made to Congress, and greatly reduce -- if not eliminate -- the chances he will ever be charged for lying to Congress.
The only other explanation is the Burr has wised up, knows trump is going down at some point, and Burr wants to distance himself --and some GOPers -- from the whole trump pile of crud.

(34,661 posts)and Senator Warner is being allowed to do a dog and pony show as a wet kiss. Stunt stunt stunt. You know damn well Deranged Donnie has the Junior Pardon papers already signed just in case.
McConnell is reading his dailies and they must really be ugly to allow this to happen. Watch the spin form this to hit Hyper Speed.
