Find me a media commentator who isn’t turning him or herself upside down trying to explain why Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with the Russians could potentially lead to the president’s removal from office, and I’ll show you someone who either isn’t on the air or is just not trying very hard.
Nobody seemed to care when the Russians used political influence to buy up U.S. uranium stocks under Obama. Let’s see if they care the Chinese may now be trying to buy up significant quantities of U.S. copper using a criminally-convicted former Clinton associate as a front to do it. It’s the allegation foreign influence tipped the balance in 2016 presidential election that’s the story that keeps going and growing because the Trump haters think it might eventually lead to something that pushes him out of office.
