Donald Trump is out golfing again, so let's check in with Uday Trump, who's been obligingly defending his pa from the scurrilous accusations given under oath by the former director of the FBI. Alas, he is bad as this. While Donald is furiously denying he told James Comey he hoped Comey would see clear to "letting [Michael] Flynn go", as the FBI investigation into Flynn continued, Uday's argument is that yeah his dad did indeed say that.
“You and I are friends: ‘Hey, I hope this happens, but you’ve got to do your job.’ That’s what [my father] told Comey,” Trump Jr. said.
This is perilously close to Uday calling his own father a liar, which would be big news if there was any person who has ever had an extended relationship with Trump who didn't consider him a liar. Uday probably figures his father won't be able to keep his story straight to begin with, so Uday's going to invent his own excuse for dad and hope it sticks.
Under Uday's premise, Donald Trump indeed "hoped" the FBI would be "letting Flynn go", but he didn't mean anything by it. He was just hoping out loud. After clearing all other witnesses from the room. To the only person in the country who could act upon that "hope" and make it a reality. This is how Uday imagines the world works, or at least that's the story he'll be going with while his dad is still lucid enough to write people out of his will.
Of course, all of this assumes that Uday Trump was indeed told, by his father, about private conversations between his father and the director of the FBI. Uday Trump is not in government, but is instead holding on to his father's businesses and being very careful not to mix Donald's government duties with Donald's business ties, but because Uday looks like an honest fellow let's just assume he's telling the truth and was indeed told the content of dad's private administration meetings. That seems like something the appropriate House and Senate committees would want to follow up on.
