Russian meeting

Real news: Donald Trump. Jr. set up a clandestine meeting with a Russian representative to get “dirt” on Hillary Clinton.

Transparency: He did not let anyone know about it until the New York Times was going to post his emails, even though the Trump-Russian connection has been in front of Congress for months.

Fake News: Whatever went on at that meeting, we only have the version supplied by the co-conspirators. And, of course, we can trust them to be truthful.

At some point, Congress has to deal with this lunacy.
