Looks Like Trump and Putin Colluded to Cover-Up the Collusion

The likely sequence of events:

Sometime around June 20th, the president learned that the media was aware of a meeting his son had organized at Trump Tower with Kremlin-affiliated Russians.

At that point, he presumably asked for all relevant information about the meeting and tasked people with organizing a response.

While he was in Germany at the G20 meeting, he and his advisers learned that the story was about to break. They strategized about what they could use as a defense.

The president spontaneously joined Putin at the July 7th dinner with no American interpreter present and discussed the Russian adoption cover story with him.

On July 8th, on Air Force One, he drafted or “dictated” the Russian adoption cover story over the protests of his legal team.

After the story broke, Trump insisted that he had no prior knowledge of the meeting. He and his lawyers and surrogates insisted he had no role in drafting the statement.

The evidence continues to mount of deep guilt by this president in colluding with the Russian government, to help his election.
