“why the President and his legal team would be permitting Don Jr. to walk into this obvious rat trap.”
I don’t think that’s what’s going on. I think he’s going before the committee expecting to be treated like every other republican who goes before the committee. I predict that when they panel starts badgering him and giving speeches trying to incriminate him, he tells them to shove it and walks out. Jr. is outspoken. I think he wants the public forum to give THEM a piece of his mind.

Don Jr pulling a Howard Hughes on the CONgress critters would be AWESOME!
Liberal heads would explode, RINO’s would run for their fainting couches and the nattering nabobs of the media would have uncontrollable convulsions.
Don Jr should wear his hunting clothes when he goes before the committee.
