I do, indeed understand how this looks. It looks like a fake news story from the Swamp trying to make an accurate description of a trivial meeting look onerous. It's hard for me to believe that you fell for it, unless you have an alternative agenda not worthy of this forum.
It looks like a real news story mainly because Donald Trump Jr. finally reached the email containing all of the details. Nevertheless, I saw people here on Free Republic claiming that the email didn’t exist despite Jr. releasing it himself.
If the meeting was trivial, then this mess was for nothing. But it’s not the media’s fault that the statements were evasive.
